How are points awarded?
For football fixtures it's 3 points for a correct score result and 1 for just a correct result with incorrect scores.
For horse racing fixtures it's 3 points if your selected horse wins, and 1 point for a place finish if available.
How are my team's points calculated per game week?
Each week a teams Top 100 predictions are aggregated to give that teams week total. When viewing standings for a full year or all time only the top 100 predictions per week are included.
The game is free to play, but I notice you can buy extra predictions. Does that mean a team that hasn't had any player buy extra predictions can't beat a team that has spent money?
No! As above, only the top 100 predictions per week are counted. Every player gets 10 free predictions per week, so 10 players X 10 free predictions means that if a team only using free predictions has predicted more accurately than a team that has spent money they will end up higher in the standings.
Why are you monetizing the game during BETA with Ads and pay for extra PITs?
I would have loved to have the BETA version completely free to use, but I'm ever so nervous about my underlying database cost which I just cant predict. Any income will be greatly appreciated and if we turn a profit during testing we are commiting to offer a great game based prize competition exclusively for our loyal testers to enter.
Is this betting? Or simulated betting?
No and no. There are no wagers, there are no odds. You can make predictions for free and even if you and your teams predictions are accurate you win nothing but pride and blagging rights of your position in the standings! This game is purely for fun!!
Might this game encourage betting?
I hope the opposite, that it can fill a void for anyone that needs to stop betting by applying their football or horse racing knowledge in a different and harmless way.
There's a mention of prizes, is there a prize every week for the best performing team?
No, not at the moment. If the game is successful then this is a route we would like to explore. In the mean time we may from time to time offer promotional prizes, details will follow when we are ready to do this.
I want to be part of the predict in teams Team, any jobs?
Not at the moment, hopefully if successful we could build this into a fully fledged company. In the meantime, areas I could probably do with some help on are Graphic Design and UX, Android, iOS and flutter mobile development, No SQL cloud database optimisation. If you have these skills and are interested in a non salaried, share type arrangement for your time as an exciting project opportunity with what I think is amazing potential, lets talk: jesse@predictinteams.com
I'm a investor and like the sound of your app and where you're heading, can we talk?
Yes, there's no investors at present and I've not tried or thought about it much yet, so hit me up: jesse@predictinteams.com
