HELP REQUIRED with FUNDRAISING IDEA

ROCKMAN · 23-08-2008 11:25am #1

Hi lads
I need a bit of help with an idea I have to rise funds for 2 Youth Clubs I run voluntarily, A lot of ye would have seen and taking part in first goal tickets on matches etc. My idea I hope would be harder to get and therefore would create more rollovers and bigger jackpots and this would create more interest and more punters . Which would benefit the club ie more funds raised and the punters bigger prize-fund/jackpot.

So to see if its a runner or not ,I'm asking for posters to have a go here ,so I can work out a few details , like , to hard , unfair ,what numbers are need weekly ,odds etc etc

All comments are also welcome .

The comp match every week would be the 4 o clock Sunday game , but for this experiment it's the late kick off today .

The comp. Standard Ticket with two culomns A and B with boxes to be ticked

A Time of first goal (six choices )

1 0-15mins
2 15-30mins
3 30-45mins
4 45-60mins
5 60- 75mins
6 75-90mins

B Type of goal ( 4 choices )

1 Shot inside the box
2 Shot outside the box
3 Peno or Free kick
4 Header

PUNTERS MUST HAVE BOTH CORRECT TO WIN

OG 's do not count

So for today's Fulham v Arsenal all I need from people is

A 1 and B 3 etc etc etc

Thank for your help.

Judging by the entries so far, I think you might have one problem with this. Everyone so far has guessed that the first goal will be in the first half, and on a larger scale you'll probably find that it's the same for the vast majority of entries. With only four options in part B, the odds are that a first half goal would mean that the prize is won almost every week and wouldn't roll over as often as you might like. You could break the options down further to make it more difficult, maybe along these lines:

A - half
1 First half
2 Second half

B - time
1 0-5 mins
2 6-10 mins
3 11-15 mins
etc.

C - home/away
1 Home team
2 Away team

D - type of goal
1 Shot inside the box
2 Shot outside the box
3 Penalty
4 Free kick
5 Header

See what you mean , but todays game also maybe having an effecT on the predictions , Alot may see it as a easy win for the Gunners and their style ie early goal from flowing football. etc May change and get harder with different games,Say the game was Utd v Pool would you have as many first half predictions or if Bolton where playing would there be a lot of header /free kick predictions. Would it even itself out over the season ?
