OK Krys. It's similar to the stock market. As the games begin prices will start to change due to how teams are playing, injuries, etc.
You can buy or sell the team anytime during the Cup. So if France came through with a big win their price may go up from its current level. If they had a devastating loss the price would go down. Ultimately only one team can have a price of 100 (the winner) and all the rest will end at 0 but the price will change as things develop. Does this make sense? Yes BC prices will change every day.

OK.
 Enough thinking and chatting on MSN (big thanks to Whomp for explaining this game to me).I buy 6 England at 34.0 : 6*34.0 = 204 €. I also buy 10 Netherlands (Holland) at 27.3 : 10*27.3 = 273 €. I should be left with 23 € in cash.

socralynnek I eliminated some of the easy teams to short.
Tubby and Robboo I'm going to round off your decimals up and down. I want to keep it round numbers.

Whomp, I think (but I'm not sure) that you could make your OP even better by :
- putting us players in alphabetic order ; - writing down each player's team in value order, as you started to do (but then it'll be a mess) ; - writing down the team values as of yesterday on the left, today on the right, and the daily change in the middle (as told on MSN) ; - writing down all these numbers inside a code box (I think we can do it at CDZ). Just a few suggestions so that we don't get confuse. Thanks for the effort !
