dandannieldanok Posted 28 October 2008 Posted 28 October 2008 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sportdaq/ Does anyone else "play" this? If not I suggest you have a look at it. It's not going to be many peoples interest and on the face of it looks quite boring, but once you get into the game it's quite absorbing. If anyone has does already use sportdaq or anyone just signing up give me your user id number and I'll set up a Foxestalk league.
dandannieldanok Posted 28 October 2008 Author Posted 28 October 2008 If anyone wants to know how to play it just ask me, although the FAQ's and help pages cover most things.
DB11 Posted 28 October 2008 Posted 28 October 2008 If anyone wants to know how to play it just ask me, although the FAQ's and help pages cover most things. How do you play it?
dandannieldanok Posted 28 October 2008 Author Posted 28 October 2008 How do you play it? Basically its like business, you get a starting amount of £10000 to invest in sports people who have their own price which goes up and down. Share prices go up and down with the number of people investing in them and the coverage they're getting in the press. (For example, Harry Redknapp shares are going up this week because he is in the papers). This is one way of making your money. Another way of making your money is through win bonuses. They are listed every wednesday and regard a sporting event. (For example one of last weekends win bonuses was Moto GP winner). As long as you have the shares of your sportsperson at the deadline which is stated on the win bonus page, you are eligible for a win bonus. Going back to my example, if you had 3000 shares in Casey Stoner at the deadline, you will be paid £3000. The final way of making your money is through dividends. They are calculated purely on the sportsperson's press coverage over the week. Once again how much money you make is dependent on how many shares you have in them. Last week Wayne Rooney was top dividend with an amount of 7. So if you had held 3000 shares in him from Monday night to Thursday morning (the dividend holding period) you would have received £21000. It is complicated to begin with but once you get in to it, it becomes quite fun. Ask me if you want anymore help.

dandannieldanok Posted 29 October 2008 Author Posted 29 October 2008 I bet you have millions. At the moment I have 6 million cashed and now turned into icons. This is a crucial week for me because I'm already on over 8 million and I'm looking to get an absolute wedge from Harry Redknapp dividends and as much money as I can before the millionairing deadline on Saturday. I'll explain more about millionairing a little bit later. I remember doing this a couple of years back, i'll join now Let me know your user id number

dandannieldanok Posted 29 October 2008 Author Posted 29 October 2008 I'll explain more about millionairing a little bit later. Although none of this will be relevant for a week or two yet I may as well divulge now. Basically when you reach a total worth of £2m you are vulnerable to millionairing where they take your money and replace it with icons to represent your money. Millionairing takes place once a week at midnight on Friday night/Saturday morning. If you have £2m or more they'll give you the icons and take your money back down to £10000. Obviously to make the most money you want to try and accumulate much more than £2m before the weekly deadline. The best way to do this is to get your worth up to a value as close to £2m but not over at the time of the deadline and then try all the weekend win bonuses and eventually build towards thursday dividends. A working example would be me this week. I made sure that before the deadline last friday/saturday midnight I had just below £2m. Over last weekend I tried all of the win bonuses. Out of the three possible I tried to win I managed two, rugby league game winners and Moto Gp winner. On the Monday I received over £3m in win bonus payments and invested all my money in Harry Redknapp because his dividends will be very high this week. Currently I'm closing in on £9m total worth because Redknapp shares are going up quite sharply in the market and I'm predicting at least an added £10m dividend payment. By the time of the next millionairing deadline I'm looking at a £20m total worth. If anyone needs more help don't hesitate to ask.
