darra Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Anybody else remember this happening? Iirc the results were only used for the football pools and didn't effect the league tables. Was it in the 70s or am I imagining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Bonvin Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Maybe we could get our accountants involved and input the results from 1991. That's an idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Think they stopped doing the horse racing after the computer said that two horses had to be shot after it predicted the result of the national. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) We used to play a cricket game 'Owzthat' I think it was called, which used a special dice. I'm sure we played a football dice game by the same company. We could use that instead of crappy computers. There was also Logacta which used dice and complex rules but was surprisingly realistic rules wise. You had to fill in loads of charts though.
