TAB 1 Shot @ $5m

Better than One Shot for Glory?

NZ Herald are looking for someone in Auckland to talk to about this - anyone keen? Requires a photo shoot also. And needs to be in the next couple of hours...

1 in 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of winning it.

Giving each option even odds. 0.33 for each group match and 0.5 for each knockout game.

Of course it is a free competition why not give it a shot.

I came out with Portugal winning. Cue banter and disagreements 

The 5 most accurate predictions also win $1k each too, so it's not like it's all or nothing

It keeps telling me I can't proceed because I haven't made all the picks for the group stage but I have made all the picks for the group stage. WTF?

Edit: sorted it now.

Not an option on the mobile site and on the full site can't see how I log on with existing account. 

Must check on computer tomorrow

The site is atrocious.....

so my pick is germany to win... not enough draws in my picks though, but lets hope

Telling me I can't register as the email address field can only accept numbers and letters....

Well done TAB, well done.

Really? I signed up fine with a + in my email address.

Got the same problem.

Brazil to beat argies in final

spain to come third...

I hope someone flukes this!!!

Tried on the same browser version but on a different PC and it works.

Caught up with TAB today. Having problems with IE. Should work a treat on Chrome or Safari though.

got brazil to win argentina 2nd Germany 3rd

Brazil to win 2nd Spain 3rd Germany

Germany Spain Brazil

Brazil, Argies, Ze Germans,

Argentina Germany Brazil (I think)

sitwe not coping with its last 2 hours of interest

I bet almost 95% of entries would have been lost at the first hurdle had Croatia held on for the draw!

I have a feeling I might have been one of the 5% to take a wild punt on the first game.  Well, that was fun.  

Edit: Went backed and checked.  Did take Brazil, must have been some drunken idea that I never followed through on (not for the first time). Still part of the 26,000

ONE SHOT AT $5MILLION

33,630 Kiwis entered

26,867 are still in for the shot at $5 Million

By this time tomorrow?

I'm calling it under 3k.

Should be fairly close to the mark.

On the basis of a 50% attrition rate on average (today's was not an average game), then 12.5% will survive a 3-game day - and there's a couple of real toughies to pick tomorrow.  

1,107 left.

Dutch supporters, all.

Which represents, on average, a 57.4% attrition rate per game - ie, only 42.6% of entries stay live on average per match.

On this basis, we'll be down to 36 by the end of play tomorrow, and just 3 by the end of Monday, and just one live after Germany v Portugal.

And then we'll all be rooting for that person to get the remaining 51 matches spot on.

Isn't maths fun kids.

I won't be. Still in for a chance at that consolation prize of getting the most picks right.

I only made the 2nd game. Had a draw for Mexico-Cameroon. Had Spain to win too.

had spain to win. was fun while it lasted

one mix up so far. I had a draw for spain Netherlands everything else right. in the running for a grand still

4 for 4

Costa Rica in the process of ending the competition for $5M?

55 people left. This could be all over by the end of today.

i'm out 

I reckon 5 left by the end of today.
