I think what might work better is a ball each player can play on a game of their choice so they can pick the prediction that they are most confident of!!
We could call it the Bonus Ball?

BBB, thats the nature and beauty of the Bonus Ball!! At some point this season a team will score an 86th minute goal that takes you from -3 points to +6!! It will even itself out.
You are correct St Charles. But won't it take 2 ggoals to get from -3pts to + 6pts?
Also if i was incorect on both the GB and the BB, that could make a difference of 9 + 9pts = 18pts, which is a lot to make up stilll, as I've done it on a number of occasions if I gambled.
However as you say it could even itself out ??
