With the tipping comp, you pick a result. Depending on the likelihood of the result, you get more or less points. They reward the risks you take. i.e., if Australia wins the first game, which is unlikely, you’ll get a lot of points.

With the fantasy comp, you basically choose players you think will do well, and you get points accordingly for how they perform (goals, assists, clean sheets etc.). This comp is based on individual performances.

Thank you for explaining this for the idiots, i.e Ozzy and I red face

Haha - I figured it out… AFTER ringing the son for an explanation.

Interesting that they have the odds (which was what confused me!)! Makes the guessing so much easier… therefore less of a game IMO.

Last world cup the tipping comp was nowhere near as sophisticated and I remember spending hours reading stats on each team.

I came 3rd BTW - won $200! Was the only girl in the top 10!
