Hail Mary time. Tempted to plug those into a betting app and see what odds I get...
I did. 415/1...and that's just to win, no margins.
Aus 3.60, Ireland 5.50, France 3.50 and Japan at 6.00

Did I get 0 for the Australia game? Just wanting to confirm...

Can I say Aus by 0? I want to get as many margin points as possible if wallabies dont win.

You did.

No. By 0 means a draw and it's predict the winner.

 

[Bahnz]

You did.



No. By 0 means a draw and it's predict the winner.

You could still win by 0 if scores are tied at the end of extra time and you win the kicking competition at the end of it.

 

[NUFAN]

Ill go Aus by 0 if Bahnz reasoning is excepted. Otherwise Aussie by 1.

 

[Jarquis]

You did.

Why did NUFAN get points for games he missed earlier in the comp then?

 

[ripper868]

Why did NUFAN get points for games he missed earlier in the comp then?

He got the lowest score at the time, less 1 point. He got those points because we wanted to include him in the comp. Missing tips in middle of comp is a different situation entirely.

Exactly the reasoning. Should be noted that even with these concessions he's effectively bottom.

 

[Jarquis]

Well all being fair I’d say I should get the lowest score -1 for the game I missed...

 

[ripper868]

I agree. James and Bahnz have both received zero for that match, so you should get -1.

 

[Jarquis]

I agree. James and Bahnz have both received zero for that match, so you should get -1.

Well, they’d be in the same boat as me tbf.

However, if somebody had incorrectly tipped you’d have a point

Different thing joining late to missing a pick though.

 

[Jarquis]

Apparently.
