Title: EU Ref Free to enter competition
Post by: arbboy on June 21, 2016, 08:47:24 PM
hi guys

We have been having a lot of fun over the past few weeks and months debating this huge event which is probably going to end up with nothing changing after all the rucks we have been involved in.   I am absolutely doing my brains this month punting so i am trying to buy a bit of good karma to turn the ship around and I am going to put up a £25 free bet for the Euro 2016 football final to the winner of this competition.  The bet will be placed on the day of the final at bet365 prices on any market the winner chooses for the final that bet365 offers with me.  The £25 stake will not be included in any returns on the bet should it win.

Going to keep it really simple.  You simply have to guess what the Remain vote % will be to 1 decimal place.  My guess will be 52.8% to try and win my free bet back.  No one can choose the same outcome once it has been selected if they do they their selection is a loser and the person choosing that option first will win.   I have no idea what site we will use for the official result and how spoilt papers etc will be treated for the %.  Can someone advise me on this rules wise as i can't be arsed with the detail.  The winner has to guess the % exactly.  There is no nearest to the actual vote.  If no one gets the exact % to 1 decimal place everyone is a loser and no £25 free bet will be awarded.

Good luck to everyone and i hope as many blondes as possible will enter.

52.8% is my prediction.

I want Doobs to decide on the website/rules for settlement as he will know more about it than me.

There will be an official result declared (spoilt papers are ignored) where remain + leave = 100%

I'll guess 48.8%

If the vote % lands on 53.55% for example that will be rounded to 53.6%.  0-4 will be rounded down 5-9 will be rounded up to the nearest 0.1% just to be clear.

2 or 3 runners got a chance to cop the bet.  Andrew probably the most likely of anyone to be right.

'Out' 17,410,742 votes (51.9%), 'In' 16,141,241 (48.1%)

Correct answer only (he said 48.8%).

No winner.

I reckon Andrew deserves the "consolation prize" of Tighty's foxes book.
