Football Bingo? Don’t lose your shirt, bet on one

June 9, 2010 - PRLog -- In a cross between the football pools and the National Lottery, football score predictions aren’t the be all and end all. So much so that betting on football might never be the same.

The virtual bingo card punters play with is a 3x3 grid, and the aim of the game is to get a full house of goal minutes scored across a coupon of 25 matches (the Footingo 90 game), or a line of three goalscoring shirt numbers in a single chosen match (the Footingo Squaddie game). And unlike most conventional online football betting, own goals and
extra time count.

Not surprisingly, the World Cup has created the ideal platform for the game’s creators to launch their new football betting system on, and a free World Cup Footingo 90 game has been added – a variation on the goal minutes game, with a £1,000 jackpot prize to win. Not quite Euro millions, but not bad for a free football bet.

Deadline for entries into the free World Cup game is 12 noon, Friday 11th June. The goal minutes of all goals scored in the 48 matches in the group stages of the tournament will then dictate whether players ‘qualify’ for free progress into the knock out stages, when a new game of 16 matches is played out to decide who wins the £1,000 jackpot.

If you find football prediction tricky, and you don’t know your Park Ji-Sung from your Lee Dong-Gook, it could be your best option for football betting this World Cup.

About Footingo: The new football betting experience is provided by Footingo. We take numbers generated by goals scored in footie matches-the minutes they're scored in and the shirt numbers they're scored by ­and toss them around like lottery balls to be crossed off on bingo cards. We could've called it the National Bingo Football Pools Lottery, but we thought Footingo sounded better. Oh yeah, and it's short for football bingo. As for the boring stuff, Footingo is a registered trademark of Footingo Limited, a UK company founded in June 2009 by a couple of English football nuts who go by the name of Gudge and Terry. There's not a non-dom, Russian or American baseball club owner in sight. As for the gambling licence the company has been granted one by the UK's Gambling Commission.
