There you go rubens, all your fault! You went on the wrong side of the car!
Another year, another thread. It's the Talksport Predictor Game. No prizes this time, because it didn't drive participation last year and now I'm basically just resigned to only playing with the same 10 people every year. You know the deal by now. Here's a copy paste of last year's OP:

If you know what you are doing then go log-in and use code FC89D-IPS to enter the TRP mini-league. Otherwise:

The predictor game is pretty loving simple really, once you've registered you just put in what you think the score of every EPL game will be.

The scoring system is essentially 10 points for the correct outcome, 15 points for the correct goal difference, 20 points for accurately predicting a draw, and 30 points if the score is identical to what you entered. You lose 10 points if you get it wrong.

You can play your "banker" chip on any result you feel really confident about, which will triple your score (or only double it if the fixture involves a top 4 team). Be careful though, banking on a failed prediction could turn your -10 points into -30 points! Generally you should put your bankers on Man U every week, except for when they play Everton (probably not true anymore this season).

The insurance chip ensures the lowest you can get for a game is 0 points, making it essentially a freebie. Put it on any result you feel reaaallly unsure about, which is usually some tepid loving garbage like sunderland VS QPR where the only good result is a meteor strike wiping out the stadium.

Setting an optimistic goal of remembering this come September.

Should be there on the right after you log in, under "Mini-Leagues"

Lawro manages zero points this week. At first I thought I must've hosed up entering his predictions, but nope, he just flubbed it.
