    The NPC Final - Waikato -v- Auckland

    Anyone else interested in betting on the NPC final? Unless some independent third party with knowledge can come up with a margin, it will have to be straight out win/lose betting.

    Andydog 171

    Caligastia 27-20 = 7

    finbar 143.5-20 = 123.5

    Havak 55

    LDiCesares 111

    Mickeyj 143.5

    NeoStar 114

    ravagon 94

    Tamerlin 49

    The pool currently stands at 40 Civ gold.

    Broken down as follows:

    Auckland

    Caligastia 20

    Waikato

    finbar 20

      No, just a momentary drift into fantasyland... Mindless optimism...must be the english in me coming out...
      Maybe the way to do it is for the more affluent amongst us to lend to the poverty-stricken with an appropriate interest rate. If the borrower can't meet his repayments, the lender gets to foreclose. It's a system that's buggered the world, why shouldn't it bugger us too?
      No thanks!!

      Okay, just for fun, I'll have 20 on Waikato. I have absolutely no idea what either team's relative chances are. In the absence of an independent with the knowledge to frame a margin, we'll have to make it straight out win/lose.
      As the home ground will give Waikato a slight edge, I reckon I'm being generous by not applying a margin.

      Thanks for placing a bet BTW, does anyone else care for a wager?

          Can I start with 100 Civ Gold as read previously! Please? If I can, one 20 gold bet on Waikato.

          They have the momentum, a win vs. Auckland and on home territory. What can go wrong.

            Are you going to place a bet on the NPC final?
            I need to save my existing reserves for the England games.

            Tamerlin either doesn't need beauty sleep or he's given up on it
            I’ll be interested to see what Tamerlin says on that choice.

            He said - he thought wittily - that he'd raided Ben Tune's kitbag for his knee medicine
            Yes I see what you mean. At the very least that was ill considered of him.

            I wonder why. It has to be more than simply being closer to the rugby-playing areas of Europe.
            Well it is also true that Soccer totally dominates the south. At least that is what I was told when I went over to Stadio Flaminio. Certainly they had hundreds of sub machine armed paramilitary at the stadium so they are clearly more used to soccer in Rome!!

            That really is a very, very strange format.
            I agree entirely. Back to back games with the same team in December (for us Bezier) then two more games in January to finish the pool. It’s been sandwiched into our crammed season in a way that allows it to build little momentum with fans until the late stages.
            Again it highlights the urgent need to re-organise our season.

            Mindless optimism...must be the english in me coming out..
            Actually that is purely a Welsh trait I think you will find.

            So Finbar’s subtle hint I have brainwashed you is without foundation.

                  It's the sort of thing I wouldn't mind - I might even find it amusing - coming from someone who has actually performed with some distinction.
