Who will win the Euro Champs in Soccer?
I don't have any idea. But, I came across a Swiss guy who is studying how people think and make predictions. You can help him out even if, like me, you know next to nothing about European soccer/
This is a short online study (15 - 20 minutes) about how people predict outcomes in the context of football (soccer). Everybody can participate; this study is explicitly not just for people who are interested or an expert in football.
You can optionally request (a) feedback on your prediction strategy and (b) additional information about this study (once it is completed).
This study is run by Stefan Herzog (University of Basel, Switzerland) and is non-commercially oriented, i.e. its data is solely used for scientific purposes and is treated confidentially.
I have filled in the study and then thought never mind the football how did you find (stumble upon) a site like this in the first place? I could have surfed for hours and never found that.
