paddypowerpoker.com is proud to announce the launch of the Euro 2012 €10,000 Goal Predictor challenge.
To take part, players need to predict the goals in the 7.45pm matches and start to collect points to climb the €10,000 leaderboard.
Additionally there's a Daily Cash prize where paddypowerpoker.com will give away up to $50 to players per prediction depending on how much poker they play on the day of the guess. Players who get between 20-100 points win $1, after that they get $1 for every 100 points they earn.
The scoring for the leaderboard is as follows:
- Players get points for a prediction.
