Hi little woman - merely a suggestion if it does not take you longer and other
posters are happy.
Write the minus scores,footsie figure and then plus scores e.g.

- 3.6
- 9.6
- 10.6
- 13.6
- 23.6
- 28.6
Footsie close = 4453.60
+ 7.4
+ 15.4
+ 21.4
+ 26.4

I get the feeling that people just want to know how close they are to
winning from each other rather than how far from the FTSE they are!

I have it all set up on a spread sheet, (including the wording) so I only
have to cut & paste! No typing required.

4463 for june please LW

can any one post ,,,or is it members only.

You're OK Dave - Little Woman will let you have a go...

yer but hows it work ,, explain..

dave - all you do is post the number which you think the FTSE100 will finish at the end of the following month. If you are nearest - Moneyam will send you a 50 drinks voucher!

You can "guess" anytime during the previous month, and even change it. If someone else already has the same number, you get the next one up. I stop taking entries on the first day of the month, when the market opens, as when I will start taking entries for the following month.

i`ll be bold 4565,,cheers , june .
