Card games have been around for years and the traditional faces have changed very little, but now Poker (in fact any card game) can be played using sporting results as the valuation of the cards.
Initially Sporting Poker will be focusing on football but the idea can be used in virtually any sport.
Think of a pack of cards layed out in four columns, one suite pure column, Ace at the top 2 on the bottom. Ok now think of the top 13 teams in each of the 4 English football leagues, if the Premiership was the 1st suite layed out and the Championship the second, Div 1 third and Div 2 fourth, think of a team in any division and its associated card value..
If you can do that you have just used Sporting Poker !!
Look at the above pages for a more detailed explanation, and get ready to sign up for Football Daw the first card game to use your football knowledge and poker judgement !!!

No doubt within a week some of these teams will have changed position both up or down the table so the card value is dependent on whether you have a fixed table i.e.. finishing positions for season 2003 – 2004 or where the cards start value is based on today’s table (see above) .. but the end value is based around the league tables at some point in the future (see below ) as in the case of Football Draw, for this game six of the cards changed value during the game Man Utd, Chelsea, Bolton, Portsmouth,Fulham and Reading.
