Footbillion doesn't post a list of today's answers. The answers are part of the game: press play above, pick one of the eight options, and the reveal screen shows every option marked right or wrong, what each valid answer was worth and how rare your pick was. Play all seven questions and you have seen all seven of today's boards, with nothing to download and no sign-up.
What the reveal shows after each question
- Your pick and its fee. A valid pick banks between £5m and £150m. A decoy is an own goal worth £0m, and so is running out of time.
- All eight options. Each option is marked as a valid answer, with its fee, or as wrong. On every board, 4 to 6 of the 8 options are valid.
- How rare your answer was. While a question is new, you see an editorial label, from "A popular pick" to "A true deep cut". Once enough people have played it, you see the real share of players who picked your answer, and every option on the board shows its own percentage.
- Other deep cuts. Up to three rare valid answers that weren't among the eight options.
- A fact about the question, such as a record or a detail behind the cut-off date.
- The size of the answer list. Every question has a full list of valid answers, from 8 to 51 depending on the question, and the reveal tells you how many there are.
At full-time you get a summary of all seven questions with your pick and fee for each. If you come back later the same day, Footbillion shows that summary again, not the full boards, so take a look at each reveal as you go.
Why there's no daily answers archive
The daily seven and Footbillion Unlimited draw on the same question bank, and questions come back on later days. A page listing yesterday's answers would give away future rounds and take the fun out of Unlimited, so we don't publish one. The reveal after your own pick is the only place the answers appear.
How answer rarity is calculated
Each valid answer starts with an editorial rarity tier. These fees apply while a question is new:
| Rarity | Fee |
|---|---|
| Popular pick | £10m |
| Common | £25m |
| Decent shout | £50m |
| Rare | £100m |
| Deep cut | £150m |
Once at least 30 players have picked a valid answer to a question, the fee is based on real picks instead. Footbillion looks at the players who got that question right (decoys and timeouts don't count) and works out what share of them chose the same answer as you. The smaller the share, the bigger the fee:
| Share of right answers that match yours | Fee |
|---|---|
| 1% | £145m |
| 10% | £120m |
| 25% | £85m |
| 50% | £40m |
| 75% | £10m |
| 90% or more | £5m |
Because these shares move as more people play, the same answer can be worth a different amount the next time it comes up.
Why was my answer marked wrong?
Footbillion's wrong options are chosen to look right. Most are near misses: a club or manager that reached the final but lost it, a country that went deep in a tournament but never won it, a famous player from outside the question's dates. Before you pick, read the dates and limits in the question, along with words like "won or shared".
If you still think a valid answer was marked wrong, post the question and the answer in the Dressing room below or send it through the contact page. We check every report and fix the answer list if it is wrong.
