You probably think you know more about football than your mates. Now you have a chance to prove it, and win some money in the process too, thanks to BullorBear.
Arguing with your friends about who will win football games is as old as time itself. Well, as old as football anyway. We all have at least one friend who thinks he knows it all, and they confidently declare that so-and-so will win three-or-four nil this weekend. Of course, by the time the final whistle blows they are long gone and they won’t answer their phone either.
But now not only have you have a way to keep track of these football guesses, you also have a way to make a few quid at it too, thanks to BullorBear. We spoke to Barry Duffy to find out more.
Q. So Barry, tell us what BullorBear Leagues is all about?
BullorBear Leagues is a completely new online football betting game, which allows players to set up and run their own personal football predictions league. You go up against your mates to take down the pot and all the bragging rights that go with it! This is NOT fantasy football as it’s for real money and but we leave it up to you how much you pay
Q. And how did you come up with the idea for the game
It was a mixture of a few things really. Firstly, I never won against the bookies, but then again, who does? Secondly, when it came to having the craic with my mates, we are all so busy these days it’s hard to find time to meet up. And lastly, online social networks is great for keeping you up to date with all that is happening. So we just put all of these together and BullorBear Leagues was born.
But the big thing that all of my friends reacted to straight away was the fact that that taking money off your mates is even sweeter than taking it off a bookie, especially when you can slag them off about it afterwards! We said why not allow friends to come together online and have a group bet on something relevant to them.
We have started with the Premier League, but it will only be a matter of time until we have a host of other sports available.
Q. What are the key features that JOE.ie followers will like?
A. Firstly let me explain the game. It’s quick and easy to play and set-up and consists of 3 main elements:
1.) Make your Predictions – Choose which premier league teams you think are going to Win/Lose or Draw each week
2.) Raise your Game Questions – Get additional points for answering random football questions
3.) Make it Personal Questions – Earn additional points answering questions about your mate’s football knowledge!
But we know that JOE.ie followers will also like features such as:
Chat Feature – Have the banter with your friends during the game
Live Twitter feed – Keep up to date on what’s going on
Weekly Stats and Results – Keep track of how you are doing and how your mates are doing
Weekly Leader board – See where you stand every week
World Leader board – See where you rank against all BullorBear members
Regular Twitter/Facebook updates with News/Gossip/Opinions
Play the game on the go. BullorBear Leagues works really well on your iPad, smartphone & tablet
Q. So the first game is the Premier League but you are planning lots more. Can you tell us anything about this at present?
A. As you said we have started with the Premier League but we will also be running GAA leagues / Rugby leagues and possible even some American sports such as basketball, NFL and baseball. We aim to bring our players as many sports as possible and then let them decide what their league will be based on.
Q. And any other future developments we should know about?
A. Actually yes! We are launching another product in October, which will bring a whole new dimension to social betting with your mates. I cannot go into too much right now, but we will be bringing JOE.ie all the details soon. Lets just say it’s something we are really excited about and definitely one to look out for.
