Congratulations Mike!

I cant see part of the image in your post; did you receive (1000/19 = 52.63 less comm??)

(I would imagine that if you were to plot the data ie entries against minutes, there would be a bell curve ( a lot of people would choose birthdays etc as the lucky minute ie between 1 -30)...but assuming that the entries were spread evenly there would be no more than about 1700 entries?? (19 * 90 = 1710)?

Anyway well done!

Thanks Peter,

yeah not quite sure what happened to the pic but yes I got £52.63 (no commission paid as it wasn't a bet it was a credit). I was quite suprised there was only 19 winners TBH as I went for (what I would guess would be) quite a popular minute this week, normally I go for later (so hopefully less winners so bigger winnings if it did come in), I've actually been out by 2 mins or less 5 times so it's nice to finally win one.

978-XXS003-CRM-MegaMinute villavtottenham ADJ43 - - - 50.00

I don't know if anyone is still doing this. I do it every week. For the Villa v Spurs match I chose 21 minutes. The goal came in the 23rd minute - yet I've been paid £50. Not quite sure why.

Just re-raising this thread.

I can give everybody a fairly accurate prediction of when, on average, the first goal will occur. The problem with this is that there is a big standard deviation on that goal. However if we can corral enough interest I am sure between all of us on the foum we can get a winner. If each of use posts on the thread out prediction either side of the expected average it wont take many of use to nail the prize, or a share of it!

For clarity, looking at the rules a goal on 19m:12s would be counted as a goal occuring in the 20th minute.
