Default Betfair Taikai Betting Tournaments

Betfair have started a new section of their site - Betfair Taikai.
They don't seem to be advertising it yet, so there aren't thousands of users yet.
I've been playing for a few weeks and have been doing quite well.

The tournaments are a bit like 'tipster' challenges where you make a series of predictions on outcomes of sporting events and pit your skills against other people.
There are free tournaments and 'buy-in' tournaments for £5.

You can also create private tournaments between you and your friends which seems a good idea - win money from your friends with your 'expert knowledge'!

http://taikai.betfair.com/

Is anyone else playing?

I stumbled across Taikai on Betfair last night.
There is a £100 free game on this weekends premiership games.
There is a link for a demo...but no demo!
Seems fairly straightforward though...bet 10,000 Taikai dollars on the games and win more than anybody else does.
So...unfortunate welcome to crystala...it is NOT spam...excellent first post!
Not sure it will take off though...it's very much a new idea from Betfair...but there is free money to be had!

Have noticed it before, but never really looked into it. It looks a bit like 'Pikum' if any of you have seen that website.

Anyway, I have joined the free Premiership and Championship TaiKais for the weekend, so will try and see how it works

I know TaiKai exists, i have even tried it out myself a couple of times.

It was just that the post sounded very "selling". And i still doubt this user "crystala" to be genuine, this being the only post made.
If i'm wrong though i apologize for being rude
