[Chief]

Everything should be ready now - give it a whirl:

Post any questions, problems or observations in this thread.

There is no option to tip draws. In the case of a draw the underdog tip is given points.

So, if you think a draw is likely, tip the side with the highest odds.

 

[Lensen]

Any word on prizes?

That is a great improvement IMHO.

 

[Ochre]

and there wasnt a draw option last year, right?

 

[Chief]

No - the first year with draw option showed that a lucky draw tip would put you too far ahead.

 

[Dan]

How does the tipping badge work Chief?

1 Week from season opener and no prizes yet.Would have thought that would have been organised mths ago.Prizes on this site have declined as each year has gone by.Also,for us non gamblers,which is the majority,no free bet prizes please,hows about doing what every other tipping site offers, "cash prizes" The site has become less appealing as years have gone by.

You willing to donate the cash then?

Chief doesn't pull the prizes out of his ass you know. (Well except for the free BFSC, but there didnt seem to be any last year )

 

[gmach1939]

That's not the point.If u log on to any other tipping site in the country,the all offer cash prizes without any "are u gonna donate the cash" unfortunately,it's the only way to draw people to a site.There is no doubt big footy has declined over the years.Only a few yrs back,big footy had cash prizes of 5k for the winner.Sites need to organise prizes months before a season begins,not leave it to the last minute.If other sites have no probs offering prizes,why this site.

If the sponsors ain't there, they ain't there. Can't squeeze blood from a stone.

Chief doesnt not want there to be prizes. BigFooty doesnt have $5k of its own to put as a prize, and Chief would have been trying hard to get a sponsor.

Yes, these people running a huge forum with over 100,000 users completely free of charge. How dare they then run a tipping competition on top of that and not offer prizes. What bastards.

 

[Chief]

What I will do is put up $1,000 in prizes for now. If a new sponsor comes along, all the better.
