*2 x €50 bets on CL Final to go on at 2mrw aswell - will be posted here.

We'll probably have a winnings of €460 riding on Barcelona 90 mins so why not go for the correct score draws 0-0 8/1 and 1-1 6/1. I don't fancy either a lot of goals here or a United win in 90 so it could be a saver. As a United fan you can hardly place the bets on Barca to win anyway.

[Dice75]

Did the over 2.5 goals for the first free bet.

If Nucks treble is still going on Barca in 90 mins, i'll stick the other €50 on a draw.
If not i'll put it on Barca to win in 90 mins.

I'll take his place if you're looking for a replacement and go with the flow.

Jesus this was tough. Close the whole game, Heat finally went 8 up with 6 mins to go but back to 2 again within a minute. A 7 point run in last 2 mins was enough to put heat up 11 and a last second Jason Kidd 3 brought final score to Heat 92 Mavs 84.

Good idea. Was wondering how we'd sort out some people wanting to cash out and others happy to gamble on. If there's enough interest and the profit keeps coming then people selling their % is a good way to work that.

I was 100% hoodwinked

Think a lot of you are overthinking this and trying to complicate something that's meant to be straight forward, a bit of fun and a chance at a few quid.

If you start with 10 players at €20 each, that's a €200 bank. Each week 2 players get to place a bet up to €20 on whatever they want, at whatever odds they want. Maybe have 1 bet placed midweek and 1 bet at the weekend. No bets on any event that lasts more than 4 days.

Any profits are banked and after 5 weeks each person will have punted ~€20. The bank is tallied, and then rinse and repeat for 10% of whatever is left.

No votes, no polls, just follow the guys picks and keep your fingers crossed whether you agree with them or not imo

IMO there's not much point in doing a group betting thing if you're not going to leverage the collective knowledge of the group somehow.

Just letting everyone pick any bet they want and fire away is pointless, I'd have more fun picking random bets myself and just backing them on my own.

Having group input into which bets are picked will give us the best chance of picking the best bets, and it would also probably help a lot of people learn more about picking good bets as people explain why they're supporting one pick over another.

Say i want to back a Crawley/Leyton Orient double for my bet, shouldn't i be allowed rather than everyone tell me what i know, and that's that Utd and Arsenal should walk both? Or if i want to back some NFL team that eagle eye says haven't a prayer? If it's only a €20 outlay and you can sweat 9 other bets for a share of the profits, just sit back and enjoy it

That's just not particularly what I want to do tbh.

What I've said above is what I'd like to get out of this, if everybody else has a different idea that's obv fair enough, but I'm not really interested in the format you've outlined.

Nothing wrong with it, it's just not what I want.

Would it not defeat the purpose of been a team betting syndicate?

I mean if we go that way we mite aswell just have a challange 10 us use our money for our own bets and see who has the most after X amount of weeks based on same starting bank.

Winner keeps whatever we agree.€20 each or something.

I think we should all post up reasons for our bets and then atleast 60% of us agree on the bet or close to it?

I don't buy this notion that nobody will vote for a bet for a less popular sport.

If somebody suggests a bet and gives a well-reasoned thought process behind why it's good value you'll have no problem getting people to go with it IMO.

This again will help people learn how to pick good bets, which is the potentially the best thing this syndicate could offer.

Nah i wasn't referring to any post, just a general view of the last couple of hours. I read it earlier and hadn't put my name down yet becasue i wanted to see what direction it was going. I'm not a fan at all of everyone's picks being scrutinised and needing a majority vote or whatever to place it. Thoought it was just going to be a lotto style stick your €20 in, and you get a share of 9 other bets should they scoop.

I wouldn't care if eagle eye wanted to bet on a 5 team accum from American Football, but if he had to put 2 choices up for us to vote on. One was a 5 team NFL accum and the other was Blackburn to beat Utd, I'd pick Blackburn becasue at least i could watch that with a vested interest kwim?

My idea was still better.

Thanks Dice.

Going to put it on Britain's Got Talent if you don't mind - just going to check out some prediction info...

The little gay chap Ronan will 100% walk it but there's no value in him. As an outside bet, Jai might do it but i don't see any versatility in him. Razi the dancer fella will fail too imo because unless he has a lot more in the locker, i don't think they'll want another dancer winning it. I don't see anything worth punting on tbh unless you all just lump together and put it on Ronan to get a return back

Have lumped a bit on New Bounce today at 7/2.

Have also a small wager on Razi, but tbh the only thing gonna make him win is the sympathy everyone has when he starts balling crying.

Will Start Round 4 next week.

I think from Round 4 onwards we'll have to put in a new rule of no carrying forward bets.
Any unused bets go back into the pool.

Round 4 will run for the month of June.

Currently 3 bets running this weekend so we will be starting Round 4 with anything from €56 to €92 pp.



************************************************** *********************



Unused bets still outstanding from Round 3 -

Keane €13.00
Tipp86 €48.00
Twitch €63.00

I dont mind Keane & Tipp carrying forward (Tipp86 is at EMOP in Bulgaria & has used €50 of his bets this month).



I dunno what to do with Twitch.
He hasnt been on in a month & it means he will have anything from €119 upwards for Round 4, which is a big % of the groups funds to be tied up if they are not going to be used.

Option 1 is to put his outstanding €63 back into the pool & let him start Round 4 with the same as the rest of us.

Option 2 is to let him carry it all forward into this round & see if he's on in June.

What do ye think????

[Flushdraw]

I'm not part of the group but i'd put his unused bets back into the fund, and then he just gets an equal divided share for Round 4 should he be around

[Loopz]

I'm not part of the group but i'd put his unused bets back into the fund, and then he just gets an equal divided share for Round 4 should he be around

this and it should be made a rule starting from round 4 imo, If people can't place a bet over 1 month they are in the wrong thread

As for twitch and the long run as you have said we can't replace him without his say so and I 100% agree with this but we need to have some sort of contingency ie 3-4 months inactivity and someone else can buy them out @ the current value or the rest of the members buy them out for 75% current value .

[Caf]

Option 1 for me.


I think we should put a time limit on people being absent. They're getting a free ride if they don't do a bet for a while but the pool we have is increasing. Not exactly fair. Twitch is an example of this but obv it could happen again and again and get very annoying when all we want is a bit of craic. Probably good to bring a deadline in and I'll happily go with whatever you think is best Dice. You've been doing all the work(tyvm btw) so final decisions are prob best left to yourself once they're not off the wall insane ofc.

[EnzoScifo]

I had said in round 1 when i did not use my 20 that it should go back and not be carried forward.

Give a finishing date like a month at a time and , apart from where someone posts there bet on say June 29th for a race on July 2nd, you will have a balance each month.

[Jaysoose]

Can only be option 1 i reckon, if you dont use the bet it gos back in and you start at the same level as the rest of the group.
