	Sports betting competition can be done in two ways- fantasy or real money. 
</p>

<p>
	For fantasy competition you could choose any particular game to make one bet. This bet could be picking winner, exact score, red cards or half time score. These events are possible if you picked a football event. Things would be different if you picked any other sport. Members will not be required to place real bets but only to post a screenshot which shows them placing a bet on an event. This can be done at any site without even having an account. 
</p>

<p>
	For real money we could have a contest where players can bet on any event and the player that has bet on an event with highest odds wins. For example if there is a football match between England and France and lets say you have odds of England to win at 1.5, exact score to be England 1-0 France at odds of 3.5 and 2 red cards to be given at odds of 2.55. Out of all bets placed the person who has the bet with highest winning odds wins. Just to clarify - betting on an event with highest odds doesn't mean you have won the comp it needs to be a successful bet. 
</p>

<p>
	Another contest for real money could be point accumulator contest. Everyday you make one sports bet and during the end of the contest the person with the sum of ODDS of most successful bets wins. 
</p>

<p>
	The real money competition could be done in association with a casino. So that all of us have same odds.

The contest will be divided in three stages- First stage begins today and ends on November 11. During this stage you have to guess which two players will top their respective groups. After this the contest will open on Friday 15th and close during the afternoon of 16th November. You will have to guess the winners of the semi-final during this period. Then on 16th after the semi-finals are over the contest will reopen to guess the final winner and you will have to post your guesses before 12 pm GMT, 17th November.

	The ICC T20 World Cup is underway in the UAE and since we have reached the final stages of the event we here at Askgamblers have decided to have a fun contest where forum members get a chance to pick the winners for the Semi finals and the Finals. Members who mange to pick the correct winners will win Admin points which they can exchange for cash. The contest will be divided in to two halves the semi final predictions and finals predictions. You will get to choose the winners for semi finals from the two matches and every correct pick will be rewarded by 200 points. Predicting the winner of the Finals will get you 600 points.
</p>

<p>
	<u><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Part 1- Semi Finals</strong></span></u>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Semi Final 1- Australia vs South Africa</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	The T20 world Cup has been held 8 times before 2024 and Australia has won it 6 times and have been runners up once. They have a lot of experience and are the favorites to win this game. South Africa's best performance was last year where they reached the Finals but lost to Australia. South Africa would want a revenge of their loss  meanwhile Australia would like to make it to their 8th final.
</p>

<p>
	Australia and South Africa have played each other 10 times and Australia has dominated them with 9 wins. Australia are currently unbeaten in the tournament and  are looking unstoppable. South Africa on the has been in a good form too and have won 3 out of their last four matches.
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Australia Form-</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Match 1 vs Sri Lanka- Won by 6 wickets
</p>

<p>
	Match 2 vs New Zealand- Won by 60 runs
</p>

	Match 3 vs Pakistan- Won by 9 wickets
</p>

<p>
	Match 4 vs India- Won by 9 runs
</p>

</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Semi Final 2- New Zealand vs West Indies</strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	New Zealand has never won the World cup but have been in the Finals twice. West Indies has won the world cup once that was 10 years ago but they have a very bad record at the semi final of this tournament where they have lost 3 times in semi finals. New Zealand would like to capitalize on the fact that West Indies gets nervous during big occasions. Its important to mention that every time New Zealand has played a semi Final they have always made it to the Finals. When you look at the head to head record the two teams have played each other 22 times and New Zealand leads with 17 victories. During the current tournament New Zealand and West Indies both have won 3 out of their 4 matches.
</p>

<p>
	<strong>New Zealand Form-</strong>
</p>
