- * Main Menu *
-
- The main menu contains three main options, and several
- hidden ones (more on them in a minute).
-
- The three main options, which are accessed by simply
- clicking on the appropriate icon, are as follows ....
-
-
- FIXTURES
- Before Pro-Football can begin to predict anything, you
- need to tell it exactly what matches are being played.
- You do this by creating one or more fixture lists, which
- are very similar in appearance to the fixed odds betting
- coupons or pools coupons. At the beginning of a new week,
- this will normally be your first action.
-
- PREDICT
- Once you have created your fixture lists, you can then set
- Pro-Football to work.
-
- RESULTS
- Obviously, Pro-Football can't possibly predict anything
- unless it knows what's been going on form-wise.
- When you have the results for a set of matches, it's time
- to enter Results mode and tell Pro-Football about them.
-
-
- These options will be covered more in-depth in the relevant
- help pages when you come to them.
-
- As previously mentioned, there are also some hidden options.
- These are features that won't be used quite so often, and
- only clutter up the main menu the rest of the time.
-
- To access them, just hold down the right mouse button, and
- highlight the required option (same effect as holding down
- the right mouse button on Workbench).
-
- The hidden options are ...

-
- USER-GUIDE
- Basically, an introductory help page that explains the bits
- of Pro-Football that don't fall into any other category.
- It is ESSENTIAL that you read this before starting to make
- predictions (if you haven't already done so, then you should
- have a look at it when you've finished reading this).
-
- ABOUT
- Just some information about the version of Pro-Football that
- you are using.
-
- QUIT - Self explanatory really!
-
- LEAGUE EDITOR
- Pro-Football can be used all year round with both UK and
- Australian football. The league editor allows you to
- change the team and/or league names as required.
-
- RESET LEAGUES
- This option should be used with EXTREME caution. It will
- reset the internal league tables! Two levels of re-setting
- are available. ALL deletes everything (including team and
- league names), whereas SOME only deletes the league table
- data (goals scored, points etc).
-
- RANDOM X's
- Occasionally, there won't be all that many matches likely
- to result in a draw. This may leave you a little short for
- pools purposes, so the random feature simply generates 20
- random numbers between 1 and 58. You may want to use this
- in addition to the predictions!
-
- RETURNS CALCULATOR
- The majority of non-pools football bets for simply
- predicting the outcome of a match (1,2,X) are just
- straight-forward accumulators. Whilst not particularly
- complicated, they can be a hassle to work out, especially
- as one of the major bookies includes a 10-fold bet on their
- coupons. The returns calculator allows you to work out
- those bets with the minimum of fuss.
