Show HN: Sports betting between friends

#1
With my friends we wanted to have a nice friendly competition (no money involved) about the football worldcup by predicting the results.

I though this might interest other groups of friends so I coded a website just for that in 3 days.

Nothing ground breaking but I like the suscription system "Doodle" style with just links, no personal infos...

Tell me what you think !

Can you explain the numbers on this page? I don't understand what they represent: http://nospronos.com/en/tab/grandchallengemondial2014 Note, I haven't registered to provide my own input.

Sure, it's the scores for when the competition starts!

So far the worldcup hasn't begun so everybody is at 0... But when the games are played the ranking will evolve !

Can you put that info in the original post?

You can't put info in link posts.

I wish I could !

Edit: Well Actually it would help if you could upvote my comment. At least it'd be at the top of the pile.

This is fun, but basically the website will die after the worldcup? Do you intend to make it work for other sports even?

I've created it for the Worldcup, but yes if I get a bit of traction I can make it work in no time for other football related events (Premier League, Champions league...) or even different sports (I'm thinking Wimbledon, Rugby worldcup)
