Hi Tom,

Thanks for organising this!

cheers.

It's becoming a stress now, struggling to sell!

If someone picks me a number now we'll call that 20 people and if we don't sell out anyone coming in after this will not be in. The original 20 picks will become $5 per pick and we'll assign the ramaining horses in a random fashion, so if you have 2 picks now that will become 4, 1 becomes 2 etc.


Title: Re: Grand National Sweepstake
Post by: tikay on April 14, 2012, 12:12:42 PM

Not sure I've got that right, but if you want me to take one extra selection, & nobody objects, I will.

I would select # 31. (Prime number, infallible).

To forestall any objections that I have had one more pick than anyone else, ettc, any proceeds from that pick will go to Cambridge Alex's Oxfam fund, on his UKIPT sweepstake.

If you agree to that, I'll send you the money immediately.

Please confirm.

Thats ok.

So if we don't sell out another 20 at $10 i will sort the random factor and give the remaining numbers to people already entered.

Prize pool will obvioulsy adjust accordingly.

If you don't sell out just take the no hopers out rather than doubling the selections IMO.


Title: Re: Grand National Sweepstake
Post by: pokerfan on April 14, 2012, 02:46:13 PM
Let every one in imo, count unsold as nr's.

Wta upto 29 , pay 2 30+, 3 for a sell out ?


Title: Re: Grand National Sweepstake
Post by: ACE2M on April 14, 2012, 02:50:51 PM
OK, everyone is in whatever.

Any unsold will be ignored, the highest place finisher that someone has picked will win.

up to 29 = Winner take all
30+ = 1st and 2nd prize - 70/30 split
sell out 3 places as originally quoted.

Would it mess up the draw to take out the biggest outsiders if not selling out?

Tom, to save you getting in a flummox, IF you have any spare horses, I will take them, & send the cash tonight.

Sell them if you can, though, but you'll need to draw a line soon.

The proceeds of any of the "spare" ones I take will all go straight to Oxfam via Posh Alex, to save any arguments.

Do whatever you need, but I'm happy to do that if need be.

Wonderful news, well done, to you & the other cashers, too.

ChipRich is now excused the naughty step, after that "Leeds will win" tip that lost. 7-3. At home.

Big thanks too, to Tom, for running this. These look easy to sort out, until you do them.....I know it must have been stressy, & you worked so hard to spam it, but you got there, well done & thank you.

PS - Do I owe you any more cash?
