It's a Beautiful Game: Know The Score Football Fans Set to Scoop £250,000 Prize Money

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) August 26, 2007 -- The beautiful game is back. And as the brand-new season gathers momentum, football fans worldwide have a brand-new opportunity to get their hands on an equally beautiful £250,000! Already over £6,000 is being awarded every week.

Know the Score (http://www.knowthescore.co.uk), a new-generation online football pools game, is giving away thousands of pounds every week this football season. And when the final whistle blows in May 2008, one lucky punter will score a cool £15,000.

Know the Score (http://www.knowthescore.co.uk) is the brainchild of two business men, one a Coventry City supporter, the other a Chelsea supporter, who came up with a quick-and-easy way to combine traditional football pools with the very latest internet technology.

Such is the beauty of the game, which kicked off this week, it has attracted the support of star TV pundits Ian St John and Phil Tufnell - who will be staging their own personal needle-match throughout this football season.

Know the Score (http://www.knowthescore.co.uk) couldn't be easier. Pick any eleven games from each week's football fixtures from the English Premiership, Championship, League 1 or League 2, or the Scottish Premiership, and predict the results. Fans can play individually and form five-a-side teams at no extra cost.

Points are awarded for a correctly forecast draw (6pts), away win (4pts) or home win (2pts). If you get the precise score right, that's worth a further 11 points, but if you get the result wrong, you lose three points.

Highest individual and team scores each week win £1,000, and there's a bonus £500 for the highest scores in the north - championed by football's Ian St John - and in the south, where former England cricketer Phil Tufnell is the chief cheerleader.

"It gets better," explains Ian. "Highest points tally at the end of the football season collects £10,000, plus £5,000 for being top in their region - and that's on top of any weekly winnings!"

And what does it all cost? Every week, each eleven-game entry - and punters can enter as many times as they like - costs just £1. A Know the Score (http://www.knowthescore.co.uk) football pools season ticket, covering weekly entry for the entire season, costs a mere £30!

"It's got to be worth a punt," says Tuffers. "It's quick, it's easy, it's great fun, and it only costs a quid. I wish I'd thought of it myself!"

Online Football - Click And Shoot Right On Your Desktop!
For real sports fans, things have never looked better, with numerous resources available all over the internet. Firstly, I can tell you that during my days I threw the old pigskin around quite a bit, and the only thing that is more fun than the online football games that are currently available is the real thing, and that is the fact! My all-time favorite online footballgames, are actually the flash games that is if I only have a few minutes, as cheesy and unrealistic as these can be. However there is one in particular that I love, where you get to be the quarter back, and you have to toss the ball through as many targets as you possibly can in just two minutes before you run out of time. On one hand this is only a basic target game, but th...

College Football Betting vs NFL Wagering - What's The Difference?
For sportsbooks and bettors alike one of the biggest and most exciting times of the year is the sweep of about 6 months that contains the college and professional football betting seasons. A lot of wagering is done on both NCAA and NFL contests. But betting on one and winning does not mean you can wager on the other and win. In fact, if you?ve focused entirely on NFL games and have tried to switch to college football, you may have looked at the over/unders and point spreads with dismay. The same may be true if you?re an old hand at the amateur ranks but a neophyte when it comes to the NFL.
