[efrat29]

Hi,

Just wanted to know if anyone heard of this new World cup 100,000,000M$ prize for guessing correctly all of the matches results. Titan Bet is promoting this.

Heard of them? is this for real? tons of money if so....

[yorkieacer]

[TheLayKing]

Yep.
i got sent it as a promo.

But there is clauses to it.

But you do have to join. And tbh they are not the greatest so i hear.Good luck if you decide to do it.

No idea what clauses you pair are talking about.

Are they hidden somewhere because that clearly says that if nobody gets all 64 right then whoever gets closest wins a million instead of 100 million.

There is absolutley FUCK ALL chance of getting all 64 scores right but a million for the closes seems reasonable enough to me but since you're telling me that they're not very good layking, I don't think I'd bother.

[yorkieacer]

Guarenteed if you happen to "win" or get closest they would give you a list of clauses which you would have to do

[ONEDUNME]

Oh right, I won't bother then.

The only Clause i can see is that you have to join them.

But for those that are interested here are the clauses/rules.

The following terms and conditions govern your entry into the Imperial E-Club Limited trading as Titan Bet (“Titan Bet”) prediction competition (the “Competition”).

• 1.1 Titan Bet is offering a prize of a USD$100,000,000 Titan Bet account credit to participants in the Competition who correctly predict the result of all 64 matches at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, 2010 (a “Winner”).

• 1.3 In the event that no participant correctly predicts all 64 results, Titan Bet guarantees USD$1,000,000 Titan Bet account credit to the participant with the most correct predictions (a “Best Entrant”).

• 1.5 Participants must comply with the eligibility requirements of these terms and conditions, but there is no entry fee for the Competition.
• 1.6 The Competition is available to both new and existing Titan Bet customers. In order to validly enter the Competition, you must provide Titan Bet with a valid email address and agree to receive promotional emails and the Competition activation code from Titan Bet. Having done so, you must:

Accordingly, in the opening FIFA World Cup match of South Africa versus Mexico, you can predict a “South Africa win”, “Mexico win” or draw. The win or draw result will be determined at the end of 90 minutes play (plus injury time) and the result at the end of this period will stand for the purposes of the Competition.
• 1.8 The predictions available to you for all knock-out stage games are “first named team to progress” or “second named team to progress”. Accordingly, you must pick the team that progresses to the next round, inclusive of and based on any extra time and penalty shoot-out, if applicable.

Accordingly, you must pick the team that ultimately triumphs in the contest, inclusive of and based on any extra time and penalty shoot-out, if applicable.
• 1.10 In the case of matches in the knock-out stages (and the final and 3rd/4th place play off) between teams that are yet to be determined, you will be presented with the formula for deciding the first named team and the second-named team (e.g. Winner Group A v Runner-up Group B), but will obviously be required to make your decision based on your calculation of the probable teams in this fixture.
• 1.11 In the event of any match being abandoned and/or postponed, the result at the time of any such abandonment will be ignored and the result of the rescheduled fixture will apply for the purposes of the Competition.
• 1.12 You can edit your predictions on the Competition Site until the closing date (see clause 1.23 below) using your specific log in details for the Competition Site, created when you first submitted your predictions. You can also edit your predictions in your Titan Bet customer account, using the “My Account” section to access your prediction form.
• 1.13 The Competition Site will be available in multiple languages, but to complete the process of entry into the Competition, you will need to sign up for a Titan Bet customer account and place your valid bet in either English, German, French, Italian or Spanish.
• 1.14 You must be aged 18 years or over to sign up for a customer account with Titan bet and participate in the Competition. All underage entries will be void.

• 1.20 Residents of territories that are not permitted to hold a customer account with Titan Bet (as set out in our standard terms and conditions) are therefore likewise restricted from participating in the Competition.
• 1.21 Titan Bet reserves the right to refuse payment, in the event that Titan Bet has received a notice from a Competent Authority (a "Notice") preventing it from paying a particular Winner of the Competition. In this context, a "Competent Authority” means any government body, commission, regulator, authority, agency or court having jurisdiction over Titan Bet.
• 1.22 Prizes will be credited to the successful participant’s betting account and are personal to the successful participant and not transferable or exchangeable. In the event that you are a Winner, the maximum annual amount of prize money that may be withdrawn from your customer account is USD$2,500,000.

• 1.27 These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England.

Provided you adhere to all of the abouve i see no reason why you would not get paid out, if you win that is.
It's a promo boost for them to gain more clients.If you must know.
i think it was memntioned that you have to deposit some money.. But im not sure.

Anyway there are the rules.

[yorkieacer]

Hmm lets see if anyone gets a million, they say you have to put it into your account, wonder if you have to turn that over so many times before withdrawing lol I find it supid that you have to predict all of them before it starts, you dont know whos going to face who in the second round onwards ffs

If you predict all the group matches correctly, then you can work out who'll be playing who. Goal difference may come into it, but if you've managed to predict the winner of all 32 (or however many it is) group matches, then I'm sure you can have a good guess at the respective goal differences too. And if you don't predict the winners of those 32 group games, it doesn't really matter who you think will play who in the next rounds, as you're not going to win anyway.

[ONEDUNME]

I would have put it in a slightly more blunt fashion but the bottom line is, as RC says, if you've predicted all the results of the first stage then you DO know who's playing who (or whom if Seen is watching).

BUT STOP THE PRESS!!! Yorkie is right (you don't know how strange it is to see myself type those words). If you get all but three of the group stage scores correct then you could be in pole position for the million BUT you will not necessarily know who is playing whoM.

Does this mean that you have to guess what the next round games will be and guess your scores accordingly.

Maybe so but what did you expect for a million quid?

[efrat29]

thanks for all the feedback guys. i agree 100M is far fetched, but the guaranteed 1M is an awesome prize...so i think i'll join in anyway.

Plus, i like playing Titan Poker, so perhaps their new product will be just as good....time will tell

[yorkieacer]

Doubt it there poker is the worse all they do is hassle you

[HastGill1]

May as well offer £1,000,000,000,000 such are your chances..I would be pretty surprised if anyone on here could pick 3 correct scores out of all the group games even if they attempted to guess them all, not even an interesting promotion for me, anyone who enters must be bored out of their mind..

[rcgills]

You only have to choose 1X2, HastGill, not the actual score. If it was correct scores you'd be better off just choosing around 8-10 games you're most confident of predicting the score for, and sticking a quid on them in an accy.
