Though you may not know, Spot the Football has a long history. The game was a regular feature in the Newspapers and the online version is just an upgrade of the newspaper version. The competition is largely regarded as a game of chance. This is because the entrants mostly win because of luck and not experience. The two versions of the game are similar in a number of things but to understand the thin difference between them, let’s look at them separately.
Spot the Football Newspaper Version
In the UK, Spot the ball game rose to prominence in the early 1980s when it was a regular feature in the local newspapers. At the time, interested individuals would grab a copy of the newspaper and observe the setup of the promotion before attempting. The promoters of the game would select football images and remove the ball’s original position. It was the responsibility of the entrants to spot the position to win a specific amount of cash. They would mark their choices using crosses and submit their results manually for verification. If any of the entrants marked the exact position or something closer to the choice of the promoters, they would earn themselves some good cash.
Spot the Football Online Version
The online version of Spot the Football is not very different from the newspaper version. Maybe the only variance is the way of marking and the platform used. Instead of making crosses, the entrant is expected to click on the pixel that is thought to be the position of the football. The entrants use their PC or mobile phones to play this game. If the picked pixel corresponds with the pick of the judges or is closer, the entrant wins some wonderful cash. In this version, winning largely depends on luck but there are elements of skills involved. For example, if you observe the body language of the footballers keenly or their eyes, you may know where to spot the football.
Bottom-line
Clearly, Spot the Football hasn’t changed much, at least not the system of playing or winning. It’s a great opportunity for every lucky individual to play and win handsomely. So long as you understand the rules, the prospects of winning are realistic.
