SaintsWeb Prediction League

[stevegrant]

If you've not already seen it and joined up, the SaintsWeb Prediction League will be running again this season.

 

The idea is simple, predict the score for every Saints game and gain points depending on how accurate your predictions are.

 

You get 10 points for each perfect prediction (i.e. the score and the result), or 5 if you get the right result (e.g. win, lose or draw) but not the right score. If you've not got the full 10 points, you can also get a bonus point for correctly predicting either team's score.

 

Examples:

 

Saints v Southend last season, finished 3-1 to Saints.

 

User 1 predicts 3-1 Saints win - scores 10 points

User 2 predicts 3-0 Saints win - scores 6 points, 5 for the correct result, 1 for predicting Saints scoring 3

User 3 predicts 2-0 Saints win - scores 5 points

User 4 predicts 1-1 draw - scores 1 point for predicting Southend scoring 1

User 5 predicts 2-0 Southend win - scores 0 points

 

You can find the Prediction League by clicking the menu option at the top of the page (next to the highlighted "Forum" option), then go to "My Predictions" to start entering your scores. You can amend your predictions right up until kickoff in each game.

 

When predicting, the Saints score is always first!

Saints score is always first.

 

Important to note for cup games that may go to extra time and/or penalties, the score is the score at the end of playing time, either 90 minutes or 120 minutes where applicable. For example, the Norwich and Torquay JPT games last season would go down as 2-2, not any sort of Saints win.

I think you should put that on the main prediction page. I automatically assumed it was home team first anyway...

I agree, it definitely isnt plain. Hence my question.

 

Steve, maybe worth putting it at the top of the prediction page...?

[Smirking_Saint]

I got it wrong aswell

[saint_stevo]

That's 3 s_s's that got it wrong

[Smirking_Saint]

it is - the big heading on the "My Predictions" page says "My Predictions - Saints Score First"... will emphasise it again though.

[Smirking_Saint]

Taking it statistically.

 

3 of the S_S' missed that point, i would say that is a large proportion of the S_S' on this forum and as such shows an accurate representation for the rest of the posters.

 

Maybe

[saint_stevo]

Scott is dumb, but not as dumb as you

 

 

Oh and we are not alone-

Steve, I tried to save the JPT score but it doesn't show it has like the league fixtures (well the first two).

[bjk]

How do i change a prediction once its been saved

[dubai_phil]

Phew, that was awfully hard work after last night, even at this late hour of the day.

 

Still, I'm in and up and running with the sole aim of whipping EoA's backside this season

[saint michael]

saints 2 plymouth 1

[Tractor_Saint]

Quick - check it out - .comsaint is top of the league

[ericofarabia]

Steve ... got delayed at work and its too late to enter my score .... can this count please 2-1 to the saints.

[ericofarabia]

Didn't realise it was a 1215 ko thought it was 1245 ... missed the first 20 mins and didn't even know the team line up let alone the latest score when I posted earlier /...... I'll still take the 1 point if its ok !!

[Leicestersaint]

Which alas shows what the rest of us know!

[Hatch]

cool, equal third.

 

onwards and upwards.

[Ashby Saint]

Some friendly advice for those updating their initial predictions as I think I've found a bug in the software (or should I say feature to quote some software developers I know).

 

I originally had the Bournemouth game down as a 1:1 draw but updated my score on Monday night to 2:1.

 

However, I didn't notice that when you "Save" your revised score it actually resets to 0:0. You actually have to enter the score again and Save it again before the system records it properly. As a result I was listed as not having submitted a score for the Bournemouth match. No matter but I thought I would pass it on.

Damn -that would be the reason that my Plymouth score wasn't recorded as well. I demand a refund

Well spotted. Cheers, I'll get that fixed asap.

[syd_barrett_saint]

Also, I predicted 2-1 Saints vs Bournemouth, and only got given 5 points. Shouldn't that be 6, with the extra point for correctly guessing the number of goals Saints scored?

Ditto for me... the first time I was wishing Kelvin would let a goal in!

Same for me also.

[ottery st mary]

All my predictions are spot on.......But the team are not actually responding to my directions..

[St.Jeweller]

Hee-Hee...Forgot to predict yesterdays game and just noticed i've moved up to

25th

[VectisSaint]

Same for me, changed my initial Bournemouth prediction (I think to 2-1) and as a result my prediction was lost altogether, so here I am bottom of the table with nil points, with a game in hand :-( Still, its early days, 40+ games to go, no need to panic, everything is hunky dory in AP we trust (oh, forgot this is the Prediction League not League One).

[RonManager]

Wouldn't save my prediction yesterday on my phone . (4-0 )

 

I made it at about 1pm, is there a cut-off time?

[Sour Mash]

Tried doing this at the start of the season, would save some of the predictions and not others so gave up.

[tizz]

any one else having trouble saving the Bolton prediction for tonight ?

[Hatch]

I probably have about a 1 in 10 success rate in saving my predictions.

Something is clearly not working properly

[woodfc]

Managed to save the other predictions but could i save Bolton? No chance!

[Smirking_Saint]

EASY EASY

 

That goes with the saints web premier league fantasy football thing too.

 

I probably have about a 1 in 10 success rate in saving my predictions.

When you save it it the score needs to be above the drop down boxes (it makes sense to me) you use to select the score ?

 

If that doesn't make sense i will do a piccy for you.

[woodfc]

Apologize, could have sworn it didnt save but it did.

 

Level 5th ..... early doors though!

And I thought I was the only one having this problem. Grrrrrrrr............

The computer is working properly. It just falls over laughing at what you've typed in

[Charlie Wayman]

What is the difference between a prediction and a lucky guess? Can you make a WRONG prediction? We need to do some work on semantics.

[Lets B Avenue]

I have been trying to get my "guess" saved for the last 30 mins. Is the problem due to the fact that I didnt do one for the Bolton game.

 

3-1 Saints tomorrow FTR.
