Running a Weekly Perfect Strike Competition
How any sports club can raise over €7,000 a year with a 2-minute weekly setup — using Bluefundr's Perfect Strike competition.
What is Perfect Strike?
Perfect Strike is a weekly prediction competition where entrants predict the outcome (Win, Lose, or Draw) of 10 football matches. Points are awarded for correct predictions, with the jackpot going to anyone who gets all 10 right.
It's the modern replacement for traditional club lotto — and a take on the traditional pools, more engaging, easier to run, and it reaches far beyond the local community.
10 Match Predictions
Entrants predict Win, Lose, or Draw for 10 Premier League (or other) matches each gameweek.
Growing Jackpot
If nobody gets all 10 correct, the jackpot rolls over — creating excitement and urgency each week.
Consolation Goal
A weekly consolation prize for the most correct predictions keeps entrants engaged even when the jackpot rolls.
Share Anywhere
Share on WhatsApp, Facebook, or print QR code posters. Posters always point to your latest competition — print once, use forever.
The Numbers: How a €3 Entry Works
This is an example configuration — you can set your own entry fee, prize amounts, and jackpot structure. Here's how a typical €3 entry setup breaks down.
What that 50c per entry replaces:
- No ticket books to print, distribute, and collect
- No driving to pubs and shops every week
- No cash to count, reconcile, or lodge
- No Revolut payments to chase and match to names
- No manual draws, no spreadsheets, no arguments
Create a competition in 2 minutes. Share a link. Everything else is automatic — entries, payments, results, winner notification.
Your volunteers' time is worth more.
Weekly Jackpot Increase
Added to the jackpot pot each gameweek if nobody wins. Rolls over week on week, building excitement.
Weekly Consolation Prize
Paid out every week to the entrant with the most correct predictions. Keeps people coming back.
Starting Jackpot
The jackpot the competition launches with. An attractive prize from day one to drive entries.
Next Jackpot Reserve
Set aside each week towards the next starting jackpot — so when the current jackpot is won, you're ready to go again immediately.
What the Club Takes Home
Based on the example setup above, here's what a club would clear each week after prizes and reserves.
With just 50 entries per week, your club clears €50. At 100 entries, that's €175 per week — over €7,000 a year. The break-even point is only 30 entries, so even a small community sees returns quickly.
| Weekly Entries | Gross Income | Net to Club | Less Costs | Club Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | €90 | €75 | −€75 | €0 (break even) |
| 50 | €150 | €125 | −€75 | €50 |
| 100 | €300 | €250 | −€75 | €175 |
| 150 | €450 | €375 | −€75 | €300 |
| 200 | €600 | €500 | −€75 | €425 |
€175 clear profit per week with 100 entries
That's over €7,000 per year from Premier League gameweeks alone — and even more when you include Champions League, League of Ireland, and international tournaments. All from a competition that takes 2 minutes to create and share. No cash collection, no paper tickets, no chasing people for money.
The 2-Minute Weekly Workflow
Once your club is set up, running a weekly competition couldn't be simpler.
Create & Share
Create a new Perfect Strike competition, pick the 10 matches, and share the link with your community. That's it — you're done for the week.
Entry Reminders
Anyone who previously entered a competition for your club but hasn't entered the current one will automatically receive a reminder 2-3 hours before entry closing. No chasing needed.
Entries & Payments
Entrants make their 10 predictions and pay the €3 entry fee online. Payments go straight to your club's Stripe account. No cash to collect or count.
Results & Winners
Match results are pulled automatically. Winners are determined and results are published — all without any manual intervention. The club then arranges prize distribution to winners.
Why This Replaces Traditional Club Lotto
No Geographic Limits
Traditional lotto means chasing cash. A shared link means entries come to you. Anyone with a phone can enter online.
2 Minutes, Not 2 Hours
No printing tickets, no selling door-to-door, no counting cash, no running the draw. Everything is automated.
More Engaging
Picking match outcomes is inherently more fun than picking random numbers. People check results, discuss picks, and come back week after week.
Transparent & Instant
Payments, results, and prizes — all handled online, instantly, with a full audit trail. No envelopes, no IOUs, no ambiguity.
