Paying for Supercoach??

[Statman79]

I'm interested in what peoples thoughts are if you had to pay for Supercoach. Here me out:
Lets say everyone paid $10.
Lots of people would say get stuffed, but perhaps 1/2 would still enter.
Lets say 150,000 entrants at $10 = $1,500,000.

Here's how it could go:
1st - $200,000
2nd - $100,000
3rd - $50,000
4th-10th - $10,000
11th-20th - $5,000
21st-50th - $2000
51st-100th - $1000
101st-200th - $500
201st-1000th - $100
$2000 weekly prizes
Every league winner gets $50

= Approx $1,230,000

Site can take remainder of profit?
Any thoughts by anyone??

Interesting, but a lot less than half would enter. You'd be luck with 5%.

$10 is nothing though. Pay on card.
You pay more to go in footy tips for the year.

I pay $20 for a league - all in first prize!! $10 is nothing

I think its called gaming - so you need a license.

The site should get a licence for it then really. Think of the money the site would make and if you pay $10 to go in footy tips to win say $250, you're paying $10 here for a possible $200,000.
A no brainer I reckon.
Be like poker payouts, pays down to 1000th. It's almost impossible to win outright but heaps of people would be keen if it paid down to 500th or 1000th.

over it!!!!! never gonna happen no point talkin bout it

Ok, this website has what 2,500 registered users? Last year 350,000 teams were entered or something.

So, that's what, 0.7% of total entries?

Not to mention that you wouldn't be allowed to enter if you were under 18. People would pay, but no where near 150,000 people. It wouldn't happen.

What are the numbers for Premium Dream Team? That would be a better indication, but I've never played that.

I'm tipping the Supercoach business would make more money from the advertising of having the people that wouldn't sign up on viewing their website every week (probably a few times), compared to the remainder. Telstra and American express would pay big bucks to have 350,000 people viewing their stuff every week, at LEAST once if they check their scores only once. Then you have weekly trades, people viewing after every game. Could be over a million site views a week, times that by the amount of rounds and unlimited preseason trading. Be a lot more money involved.
