H&G – After the first match …

… has been played by every team in this year’s World Cup, let’s have a quick look at the stats for our Honour & Glory contestants. Here are the standings after the first game day.

What should I say, it seems to be a ladies game this time. For the better part of the first game day, the first three places were held by female football experts (as you can see in the new place-after-match view on the matchboard).

Looking at the scoreboard, it seems that Anne’s usual and valued 2-1/1-2 scheme does well this time and for now ;)

And just to add a few more stats, Kerstin has been our most frequent leader up to now (8 matches), Michael has the most consecutive matches with points (8 matches) and it’s only Jason and me that managed to stay above the average for the whole game day (17 matches).

In preparation for the next Honour & Glory event, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, I’d like to know what kind of stats you would like to see on the summary pages (for each event and in the overview). So please log in and comment this post … I’ll see what can be implemented in time!

Honour & Glory – UEFA Women’s Championship

The tournament itself is over and so is the Honour & Glory competition.

This time we had twelve participants and I cannot say I don’t like the final result ;)
Congratulations to Craig and Kristian (and the random numbers) for the places!
Along with loads of Honour & Glory, the prizes will be handed over soon!

Thanks everyone for taking part! See you for the next event (probably FIFA World Cup 2014)!

Honour & Glory – UEFA European Championship ’12

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!
Congratulations to Troels for his stunning performance in this year’s UEFA betting game.
It’s the first time that someone ended the game with an average of more than one point per match (and Troels had 1.3). Also he managed to stay on top as a single leader for in total 28 matches.

Of course congratz also to Basti and me (hehe) for making second and third place.
It has to be mentioned that Basti as well did manage to have an average of above one point per match (1.03) and that he holds the title for the most correct tendencies in a row (seven matches).

As promised there will be prices for the first three places – to be picked up in person at our place. ;)

Thanks everyone for taking part in this year’s UEFA betting game and see you for the next occasion!

Honour & Glory – UEFA 2012 standings after the group phase.

Honour & Glory – UEFA 2012

The group phase has finished: time for a little resumé!

It seems like my web site features a security hole and Troels has found it. Jokes aside, it’s hard not to notice his slight dominance in this year’s UEFA betting game. After his 17th and 6th place in UEFA 2008 and FIFA 2010, respectively: quite an improvement! I know that the one that laughs last, laughs loudest; but the rest of the field, including titleholder Simon, has to improve significantly to beat Troels’ lead. Well actually, there is already now some who do not have to think about a strategy to beat him anymore. Just after the group phase, this is actually a novelty for Honour & Glory football betting. Besides that, second and third place are still possible to reach for everyone in the field, though some might have to fight harder than others. Another novum is the fact that Troels continues to score on average more than one point per match (actually 1.46). And just to put out another name in this resumé, Basti managed to get the stage win for having the most correct betting tendencies in a row (seven) after the group phase.
