Rules
Scoring
One paragraph version
Every prediction first earns a base score for football sense: correct outcome, correct goal difference, and goal accuracy. Then that base is multiplied by how rare your exact score prediction was before kickoff, using bookmaker correct-score odds. Safe picks hit more often but pay less; bold picks pay more when they actually capture the match; random chaos usually loses over a full tournament because tiny probabilities do not explode into infinite points.
Example
If Spain beat Curacao 3–0, a 3–0 prediction scores heavily because it nails outcome, dominance, and goals. A 4–0 pick also scores well because it understood the comfortable Spain win. An 8–0 pick gets some credit for Spain and the clean-sheet idea, but loses accuracy because the game was not that extreme. Curacao 1–0 gets nothing useful because the football read was wrong.
