blonde poker forum

Pretty huge rollover. Any plans for a blonde syndicate or anything?

Was going to start this thread myself.  I'm happy to put it on etc if we want to have a crack at it.  These are the most obvious +EV spots in gambling imo and can be life changing.  I'm in for 150 to start the ball rolling.

in for a tenner or twenty tops if the low stakes punters can have a go

Think any stakes are fine.  My only prerequisite would be that I would need bank xfer rather than poker transfers.

In

In how do you put one on? Can it be done online on any website i assume or in a bookies?

in for £200 on the premise the best horse judges/placepot judges do the perm as a whole rather than everyone picking their own selections

Worry not, Tikay will be on hand to perm us up ;)

Yeah can be done online.

I can help with the placing if that is needed. Obviously someone would have to give me the selections! Otherwise i will pick the best names.

Thinking about it it might be better if someone else actually places it because I am still in Florida and to organise it would involve me getting up very early and I have a few other bits and pieces to do this Saturday.  If Callum is up for it then that would be great?

In for £50

In

Just say the word, Mark, just say the word.

£50 worth, please.

In pls, £50 can transfer pretty much when needed.

In please for £100.

In for £50.

In for £50, lemmeknow where to send please.

In for £50

In for £200.  Can help with the perm/entry.   

This, strategy is everything.

If someone tells me what/ how to do it I'm sure I'll be capable, I surely cannot make as many misclick a as tikay!

I have absolutely no idea wtf this is, but if Doobs is in then there must be value!!!  Ill be in for £50 on the strength of that.

In for £30.

In for 50, also have no idea what it is but it sounds like gambling

In for a hundo.

Does anywhere do cash back on scoop 6 these days.  Think you used to get 10% somewhere in the past. 

Love Blonde. Only on Blonde would someone open a thread they don't understand the title of on the basis that it might be something to do with a random form of gambling they know nothing about but want in on anyway.


Some independents will probably be willing to do something if the perm is big enough ie a couple of grand.  Not sure it will be as much as 10% back though.  Aren't there a couple of independents that post on here?

Anyone give some cliffs on what this actually is. Does it involve picking six horses and perming selections for a jackpot?

yes exactly that junior!

Yeah i'll be in for a nifty too. Sounds like the amounts are getting up to a tidy sum - where's Blatch to hold the kitty?

Ok, i am in as long as we have a judge or two involved and no one runs off with the jackpot if we scoop.
People are posting random amounts itt which i presume will equate to shares so i am in for £30 if that doesnt mess the calcs up.

in for 20

Can you do it on betfair?

Know someone that gets a rebate, just trying to ascertain if they can be bothered putting the Blonde ticket through...will post itt if so.

EDIT: He can't be bothered. Apologies, as you were...

Worth someone getting in touch with bookiebasher, see what he can do?

Yes, think they used to do a 10% rebate but maybe it was elsewhere.  A while since I have done a scoop 6 perm. 

Betfair used to offer a rebate to selected customers but not widely.  No idea if they still do.

Seems like this is going to go ahead, could Redarmi or Vic just explain exactly how this is going to run. i.e we all transfer money to x by such a day, that gets us x amount. Y is choosing the perms and x is holding the tickets. Finally it takes Z amount of time to get the winning jackpot paid to us.

Just so we all know what's happening.

I used to be close to 2% commission, now 5.   Guess that makes a difference

Betfred sometimes adds £100k to the kitty for anyone who wins at his shop/site. Normally only announced on the day though.

I am in for £100. I can put on if needed but only on betfair (no fred account or shop), and obviously I'm not very well known here so that might effect things!

In for £50 please.

In please for £50.

in pls for £30

I have no idea whats going on but in for a hundo

No idea what this is, in for hundo.

Can we get Dubai and/or lildave in too?

Chaps,

If the idea is to do it this weekend, we'll need to get the skates on - it is Friday today.

Over £1,700 has been "pledged", probably near £2k, so someone needs to take charge of the thing PDQ.

That £2k all needs transferring to whoever puts it on etc, that won't happen in an instant, also someone needs to decide who selects the horses, & then that guy needs to get to work.

Sorry if I've missed something, but the way I see it, someone needs to take control of this quickly, if it is to happen.     

Assuming it goes ahead, any of the blonde regulars can be involved. Doubt Dubai will be interested, he has Nursey Fees to witter about.

If this does go ahead, would suggest using Pingit ( http://www.barclays.co.uk/Mobile/BarclaysPingit/P1242603570446 ) to send and receive the payments. You don't need to be a Barclays customer, payments are instant and free. Assuming the receiver would be willing to post their mobile number here, it might streamline things a bit.

In for £20 if thats not to small

Agree with Tikay really want to be starting the races today nevermind the payment :_

Arboy, are you going to take charge of this as per Tikay's post?

Agreed.

I neither have the time nor the ability to help out, but if this is to go ahead, it needs......

1) Someone to take charge, & get it moving. 

2) An agreement as to who makes the selections. It's already been suggested it should be someone who knows horse racing well. We have quite a few of those, though count me out if Eso Kral gets the gig. Middle-aged, see?

If nobody wants to do it, I have enough in my Betfair account to put the bet on.  I don't have any refund on scoop 6 bets.

Can PM bank details to people or take Stars.  Can get the bet on tonight, will be harder in the morning.  Might be better to take a few on Stars, so the bank doesn't get funny.

Can talk to Arbboy, Horsey, anybody else who can add something by PM.  Better to keep it a small group, as syndicate discussions can be horrific and everyone can easily fall out.  It is better for me to get most of the discussions done this afternoon.  Have kids so answers might not be instant at times.  

Not likely to do the mobile thing.  My bank transfers usually arrive quickly.  I guess it is better if people do this in bank hours.  

Anybody any objections?  

Fine by me Doobs. I'm in.

Sounds fine

If there are flat races i will pm you my opinion/s For any jumps races i wont bother

Anybody got the six races?

Can people look out for the scoop 6/channel 4 races for tomorrow.  I can't find either yet, but guess the first 4 at Sandown are going to be definitely on, but guess Totepool will duck the 3.15 for the scoop 6.  The others look suitably horrific for someone looking for a big pool.

Warning.  Even with a big pool, punters have to be prepared to do their bollocks on race 1.

In for £20, will send stars later if Doobs is running

The Races are announced at midday today Doobs

Will try and post them here asap if i remember

If you want in state how much.  Will PM everyone who responds about lunch time with bank details and stars name.

We will work the perm round the money raised, but £1500 is about 3 horses a race (not this is not set in stone, it may be better to do 2 in some, 4 in others).  I will likely adjust my amount to get a sensible perm.  Say if we are £100 short of a 3x3x3x3x3x3 perm, it is best if someone just tops up.  Or if we are £10 over, I will likely just put in £190.  All this will be disclosed before the first race tomorrow.

I am not a fan of spin up/downs but if left with a small amount, we may just punt it on the Scoop 6.  Anything over say 10% back will do refunds.  You get refunds if a place line comes in, just in case it isn't clear.  Anybody got better ideas, pipe up now.

OK, CONFIRMED in for £50, please.

I will send by Bank TX before noon today. I have your Bank Deets, I think.

In for £20

Bank transfer please

Pretty much have a free day today, so have time to look through the races. Will post my thoughts here once I know what they are.

CONFIRMED will send Stars later today (rab90)

£50 send by bank transfer Monsieur Tapisdoobs

Excellent.  Didn't realise Sir Chompy was in.

Had another thought on the residual. If there is less than £150 left, could just add it to my ten to follow entry to give a season long sweat.  Anybody got a preference? FWIW have a 2nd for near £30k in this to my name, though Tikay is the master.  Pools are going to be smaller than that these days, though likely 50k for first or so.

in for £20

In for £50 pm me bank deets pls.

Callum are you at Genting tonight? I can't BT at the moment & can leave £20 there for you for this if you are around? Fine if not though. It's only the £20 that you donated to me anyway other night

prick....

im not at genting but happy to ship for you and we can sort next week or whenever.

:D :D :D

That would be good mate, I will leave £20 with Big Ken for you as I am not sure when I will around Genting next

Doobs,

I'm in for £100.

PM me your bank details and I'll transfer.

Thanks

£50 PAID by Bank Transfer.

In for £200.  Happy to let Chompy/Redarmi/doobs/horsey make the decisions.  Redarmi is very good at strategy of these things like Doobs prob will be as well.  Horsey and Chompy prob the best for the actual horse form.  I don't claim to be good at either and would rather those 4 and anyone other suitably skilled judges to make the decisions.  Strategy/game theory is as important as picking the actual horses themselves as discussed before.  Pm bank details doobs and i will ship across now.  TY.  

Obviously add Camel to this list of 4 wise men now he has rejoined us.

Oioi!


tikay, The Camel, edgascoigne, RickBFA, arbboy, topsteward and 0 Guests are viewing this topic.


blonde regulars, ONLY. (Piers Morgan trolls may be allowed).

In for £50.

PM Bank details please.

Me, too, please.

I got wind that a man who knows his onions was helping to make the selections.

It was a nobrainer henceforward.

Good to have you back Camel

Here are the races btw

sandown 2.05
haydock 2.20
ripon 2.50
haydock 3.25
ripon 3.30
sandown 3.50

And sorry Doobs can you make mine £50 please a friend who is a non blonde member wants £30 worth

Thanks still by BT will send when i have ur details

cheers

£100 sent via stars (pokeridiot83)

Yes, I had no intention of getting involved, but once Chompy asked for my help, I felt I had to assist.

£100 please, can send Stars or BT.

At the risk of daftness, if there is anything above 3x3x3x3x3x3, why not use that money towards other combinations?

Can do stars or bank Doobs, lmk which you prefer

Gl us

£50 for me please, can you lmk what your stars is and I will send when I get home this evening.

"We will work the perm around the money raised"

£50 please

will send later - stars / BT?

cutefish - matt lewis (blonde member but doesnt post much) told me on skype yday he is interested in between £100 and £200 investment in this as well

 Most companies get 14.5% from Fred for dealing with this and you can get 10% discount quite easily if you can negotiate. I was in a big perm last week and we got 12% from a friend of mine. I can arrange this if you would like.

 Just read that back, not sure it made sense. Betfred pay 14.5% commission to companies that take Scoop 6 bets, these companies offer 10% cash-back to big syndicates and I can get 12% if you like, whoever is collecting the money and making the picks just needs to get in touch and I'll give the number of my friend (Camel knows him too) who has a small chain of shops and deals with a lot of the big syndicates.

 I don't get anything from this by the way.

That would be good, put you in for a ton?

Doobs in for £50, same bank details as usual? Let me know, I'll also on you anything we get in morning however don't feel remotely obliged to use

I'm in Doobs, yes please. Didn't read the whole thread, (so lazy), who is collecting the money? How do we pay? Who picks the nags?

Me.

Change me to a tenner.

FML.

Think our Scoop Panel is Chompy, Redarmi, doobs & horsey. I imagine they'll ask me, too, but not heard yet.   

 That sounds more like it. Happily do £200.

Was ready to insta cancel myself when I read that.  Chompy said he'd put some thoughts up.  Going to put it all together, have a look at ghee maths and try and get the best perm.  Am pretty sure on where we need to be maths wise, but certainly need help sorting the wheat from the chaff on the marginal horses.  

Just sorting lunch will send pms to people around 2ish

Doobs i will Pm you my thoughts before 7pm

I will send 4 selections in the 4 flat races in order of my preference.

Please happily pay more heed to Chompy, Reds and Your own ideas though mine maybe a little more leftfield having had a look this morning.

Cheers

Might just do my own SCOOP now, just to spite you all.

Would LOVE it if I won.

Having looked this morning Stevie Wonder would have as good a chance as many.

I did try and get hold of Adz, but I'm guessing that he is still rofling around in Vegas...

Me 2. Pm bank details please thanks

In for 150.  Arbboy is going to send mine with his.  In terms of strategy happy to be in and to help but I think these things are fairly straightforward.  You are trying to maximise your chances of winning so a lot of favourites etc with a couple of bigger priced wildcards that you think are good value and likely to be overlooked but still have a decent chance of winning so we are talking 14/1 shots we think should be 9/1 rather than 100/1 shots you think should be 40/1.

in for 20 - let me know where it needs to be sent

in for a oner. can u PM bank details please Doobs. and thanks for all the work in organising, researching etc.

Will chip in £50 - can transfer shortly if you send details.

Doobs - Matt Lewis (cutefish on blonde) is having £200 via me and Gary Strang (Rotty1964 on blonde) £50 via me as well.  I will be sending Red's £150 as well as my £200 so £600 in total from me when you sent your bank details.  Thought this would cut down on the admin for you.

£600 sent Doobs - Reference ARBBOY SCOOP 6

Hi Doobs, u want stars of bank tx for my £50? Just let me know...

I have sent PMs to everybody back to page 5, except Jaffacake. 

Seems I can't do more than 15 pms an hour so everyone else will have to wait a bit.  If you haven't got a PM and can send to stars, you can send to bullstopper (boris avatar).  I am not going to put bank details on here.  Next batch of PMs will go just after 4.

If you have posted in on pages 5 onwards and have no PM then let me know. 

I can't reply to any PMs I have either, but got your latest one Neil and Eso.

Paid so far
Tikay £50
Ed £50
OverTheBorder £20! (pls everybody make it a multiple of £2)
MahogonyVic £100
DMorgan £100

I assume I have got a few in the last 10 minutes, they just haven't showed up yet.

We are getting 12% discount thanks to Neil, so will take that into account when doing the perm.

Have a few things to do til 4, so might not be posting.  will try and update after that

Weather will help us sort things out a bit hopefully.

It's soft at Sandown today, even though jockeys aren't coming near side in the straight yet.

Birkland put water down yesterday and there's going to be rain on top of that, so get ready for some weird results at Haydock.

Ripon is a fronties course at the best of times, including after rain.

Just about to crack on now.

Bleurgh, Sandown races are twig-hoppers. Yikes!

glglglgl chomps and the other judges doing the leg work.  I am trying my best to bring a few more quid into the pool from other degen's outside of blonde to give us more perm options.

Hey Doobs,

Will send on Stars do you want it in $ or £?

Doobs just sent now

I bank with same bank as you for some reason would not let change default reference

Should be with you now shows on my statement as 3.21pm £50

thanks

Sent to bullstopper on stars. Send in GBP £50 good luck us

Thanks for organising

This is pretty much perfect strategy.  Unless we are sure 3/1 chances should really be 7/1, lines are going to be weighted to shorter priced horses with a handful of others put in.

Doobs

Have just pm my thoughts have included four in one of them but the other 3 races i have only mentioned three.

Have put in some likely big priced ones agree with Chompy looks some potential massacres.

in for £20 if not too late. would prefer to do a bank transfer

I likes the following...

2.05 Sand - Raven's Tower
2.20 Hayd - Sir Reginald (plenty of pace drawn low, quite a few I don't like)
2.50 Ripo - Boom! Draw bore's race. Over this trip in a field of this size we should get two groups and, the more rain there is, the better off the inside rail (low) will be. That said, there's not a huge amount of pace low. I always favour those that have run well at the course before - Fast Shot, Doc Hay, Barkston Ash (good chance he'll lead far side and has to be included).
3.25 Hayd - Gabrial's Kaka, Yourartisonfire, Foxtrot Romeo
3.30 Ripo - Sizzler (likely to lead)
3.50 Sand - Godsmejudge, Ardkilly Witness

Sent by bank transfer, officer doobs.

In for £50 if possible? Literally no idea whats going on though :)

Going to close this at 4.30.  If you haven't indicated by then you are in, you are out.   

Can take £s and saves me having to check xe.

CLOSED

I have PM'd everybody now.  If you have sent a pm or answered this thread and haven't got a pm yet or have no way of paying, I have probably just missed you.  Please either post here or send me a PM.

I am struggling on a smartphone at the minute, so will update the people who I have definitely got money from later. 

Missed bank, need to send on Stars but stuck in office (where all poker clients banned) til 11pm-ish. Still OK to send then?

Is fine.  So long as I know I have money by about midnight uk you are in.  I am just closing it to people who haven't indicated already that they are in.  I will be finalising the perm about then and sending it out to those that contributed, so they can give final feedback.  Adding lines after that is likely too messy, but changing horses is unlikely to be terrible. 

100% pre-midnight, thanks.

Sent via bank transfer.

Thanks for organising this Doobs.

I have two kids need bathing, I could google all this later, or try and match amounts to pledges, but could people just help me out by PMing their name if they have sent me a bank transfer and I haven't listed their bkonde name above.  This is especially true for Mr 924909* (pls send account number so I can check).  I do recognise a couple of names, but my memory is bad and I can't think what their blonde names are.  Pls include your full name in your pm, just in case they are chancers pretending they are Mr X Y*

I don't want to be overwhelmed by admin.  The perm will likely suffer if I am.

Edit £2300 including my own £200 so far.  This is in my head, will check amounts and names when the kids are asleep.

I am not saying people haven't included references, just quite a few aren't showing at my end.

This is especially true for Mr 924909* (pls send account number so I can check)

thats me doobs ac ending 300

Hi Doobs

Sent pm to you earlier advising £50 to your stars a/c.

Cheers and thanks to you and the execs who are selecting.

Sent £30 from dino1980 on Stars. Thanks very much for organising.

Hi Doobs,

The £100 from Mr R G is me.

I asked the bank to send it with ref RickBFA scoop6, apologies if it didn't come through with that reference.

Thanks for organising.,

Can have a tenner of mine if you want a sweat Mr Song

thanks mate.  let me know where to send.

Youth of today.  Did you read the thread?

Given I am letting you off, Soviet song, nutter and Maldini in too if I get monies by midnight.  Will send Pm in about 30 mins.

Giving no credit, apart from Eso.  Money not in by midnight you are out.

Hoping the bank don't go nuts with the transfer in the morning.  

Absolutely definitely closed now.

As you don't know nutter, I will stand guarantee for his £100, and I will send by midnight if he is unable to.

thank you.

will send on stars from sovietsong

sent $84 to bullstopper on stars

Thanks Tony,  i already cheekily sent it to him on stars just in case he could squeeze us in :)

Doobs. You missed me. Said in for 30. In DTD now. How do I pay? Can only do bank or stars in mornjng

Warning to those playing the #scoop6 tomorrow. 94 runners means there are 13,861,120 possible winning lines. The lottery has 13,983,816

 (a tweet I just saw).

Way back on page 3. In too early.

For those of us who have just sent the £££ for lols, could someone please explain how we win whatever it is that we can win?

Kids know when you are trying to do something else.  I probably didn't account for the difference between typing "that looks good to me" in tips for tikay and trying to read 10 pages of a thread, my bank statement, and 2 pages of PMs all on a smart phone whilst watching one child at the gym and another who sensed a good opportunity for an unannounced game of hide and seek.

Did see your name, but got missed off whilst trying to balance things.

Will PM you and Maldini bank deets now.  Was hoping to play poker tonight, but two tabling like the old days right now.

I know that mega multi tasking feeling mate. Will send by bank. Really appreciate you stepping up to organise this

It seems that the co-op don't copy your references through, so apologies for that.  I have never really noticed before as I have previously got bank transfers in dribs and drabs.  When I send them out I use pay bills rather than bank transfer to get round it.

I have worked out those that didn't send me a PM by timing of transfers and pledges.

Thanks for everybody's patience.

I am still waiting on kp (£100), Eso (£50) and maldini (?).  

I am going to do a backcheck now, but if you think you have sent more than 10 mins ago and aren't in the above list or the amount next to your name is wrong, please let me know soon.

Cheers

Your a legend mate. I'll ship the extra £1 on stars for Davey Forthistle - typical jock trying to freeroll a pound.

Thanks again for doing this

Another one tried it on for 75p too. 

Don't worry about the quid, will just make my share an odd number to balance it

sent $84.02 (£50) on stars from gaggleokings.

Cheers and gl us!

Think I am up to date.  

I have checked the thread and think I am only missing this booking from my post here http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=63649.msg1932055#msg1932055  

Tom is in for £50 and doesn't need to send as I owe him more than £50 for SCOOP.  (EDIT crossed post, will send the full amount for SCOOP when I have got through this!)

I think the grand total is £3185 (edit) once you include my £200.  This doesn't include any Maldini money.  I am going to max him at £50, so I can start work on the perm.  If he doesn't reply by 12, that is mine, if he wants less than £50 I take the difference.  If he sends more than £50, anything over £50 will be returned.

hope that is clear

With Maldini we have £3235 (edit).  Assuming a 12% discount we have 1836 (edit) lines.  

That gives us a 3 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 4 perm and 110 left over.  I will think about this after looking at the horses  (FWIW it is a 3x3x3x4x1x1 perm more or less (so I'll probably just knock £3.65 off my contribution unless I can think of anything better in the next hour or so).  

Thanks Claypole and Doobs.

Superstars.

Can somebody check my maths on this post after I edited it?  I am already feeling a bit weary, don't know how Mere does it.  Cheers

Wiiiiiiii

Lol apologies, penny grims are my forte! But this was unintentional! Thanks for organising, much appreciated

Stellar work Doobs. Good luck us all.

US$168.03 gone through to you there from killer account on Stars.
XE said $168.025, you can hang on to the change.
Thanks again for organising and GLGL us!

Hi mate

Sorry for the late payment just sent it through to your stars acc. $33

Thanks for managing to sneak me in

Think I've done you for 35p

Maldini is in for £20, KP £100.  That leaves me with £226.35 and two perms
3x3x3x4x4x4
and
3x3x3x4x1x1

I have a main perm already which I am going to sense check past a couple of people before posting.

Done that for Yorkshire?

Was born in Yorkshire and have some Scottish Blood, do I have to short change everybody by a few pence on their returns?   

Not serious FWIW

Had no idea how much of a headache this would be admin-wise, thanks Doobs for organising, hope we get the lot

Yea pretty much this

Cheers doobs hope we win so I can get you all the beers!

£100 is worth 3.094682%.  People should be able to work out their share from there.  I have the actual shares in a spreadsheet.

Cheers for everyone's thanks.

Hopefully the bet will go through without issues tomorrow. 

Anyone want to buy my 1.5% for 20k now?

;whistle;

I'll throw in £25 if it's still available.

Will give you a tenner of mine.  The perm is finished and just getting bashed in to shape through horse haggling behind the scenes

Actually pretty excited about this. Hope we get a good sweat.

Cheers for organising it all Doobs and Co.

Thank you doobs.

Yes. Think I'm off out to buy a new outfit for next Saturday on channel 4

Many thanks to Doobs for organising this, what a nightmare!

Well done also to the horse racing chaps, for the selections, & to Lord Grumpy, for assisting.

If we can get the first couple of winners, we might just have a fun sweat.

....and we need to do an all night cash game before going on ......they wouldn't expect anything less from poker players :D

Thanks David, let me know where to ship when convenient.

Cheers Doobs and the selection team awesome work.  Redarmi gets to do the interview with Emma Spencer if we win the bonus if she is working.  I know it would make his day more than the money!

Winners interviews, best suits, everything.

How much have we won?

+1 Cheers all!

If you picked most likely 4 winners in each Scoop6 race, you'd be staking £8192 and you'd be around 90-1 to win it at current exchange odds.

 (just read on Twitter).

We appear to have won already pleasing scenes

i appreciate we want to keep the selections underground so to speak so others can't copy but are we getting to see the selections via pm before racing starts?

makes sense to me to post them here once the pool is closed

Is anyone definitely around just before 2?  Arbboy?

I can send the horses/numbers to them and they can post on here.

I might be ok, but can't commit.

The bet should now be on, assuming my debit card works, I am just getting a ring back in a few mins to check numbers

I have no idea wtf you are all doing but some how feel I am missing out :(  Gl to all and hope you win the lot.

I'm in all afternoon if needed.

We are on after getting the half expected anti fraud call from the bank.

yes will be here all afternoon no problem.  Great work doobs.  Anti fraud at banks are a proper pain in the arse at times.

Sent PM

Great stuff, doobs.

Let's get rich.

I have sent Arbboy the numbers and slips.

I don't want to put the slips up, but he can confirm the amount bet.

I can send copies of slips to any other email if people want another independent check.

Don't think we need to be too paranoid.  10 mins before the first race should be fine.  If someone can copy all the numbers and get a £3k bet on in 10 mins without any bother good luck to them.  And they have to be daft enough to assume I have a clue what I am doing and accept they can only ever split the prize at best.

Slips audited.  All looks above board and ship shape!  Huge GLGLGLGLGLGL to us. 

Right, am off out soon.

Thanks to Chompy, Red Armi, Horseplayer and Neil for the help.

I have excluded quite a few horses that have been suggested.  It needed doing or we'd be in for a gazillion.

Hence we are way more likely to have thrown away a winning perm than picked one.

Please keep the thread free of aftertiming.

Reckon we are only 30% to get through race 1, just in case people don't get the probabilities here.

Good luck us.
  

At what point do I need to pick the horses?  We did agree I got to pick them right ?

Good luck all

Assuming my "lucky" tenner is booked Doobs.

booked

Best of luck to you guys , hope you get the lot.

Should we be in the fortunate position of getting to the last leg any plans to cover the outlay with an in running lay or anything similar at a shortish price?

Get your giant squirrel outfit ready.

ffs just seen this. if i don't win it i hope you guys do!!

Lol, thanks Mr T, same to you.

Shame you never saw it, would gave added to the fun.

Trigg happy to give u a pony of my £200 if u want a sweat.  Let me know via pm before 2pm otherwise nothing done.

Shouldn't we just let it ride. Bet like men and all that.

Selections as PM'd to me by doobs.  As stated before I have audited copies of the bet slips and the total invested receipt of £3232.

Sure i have no problems either way whatever we do.  I was just throwing it out there for discussion rather than a mad panic at 345pm this afternoon.

Will leave that to you guys to decide, but if it comes to it, we can decide later, after we have got the first 5 winners.

Nothing done trigg havent heard from you.  Gl with your scoop6.

gg the dream

Luckily we can try again next week.

:(

Ha!

Next case.

Many thanks to all involved for the work put into it.

Hmmmm - was gonna have to miss next weeks presentation.

Thanks to Doobs and all others who did the work.

Not even a place.  Could someone please send me my hours back?  Volunteer for next week?

In for next week assuming Tikay is allowed to pick for us.

Er...what?!

Just imagine, we back the first 5 winners, then have to sweat a misclick.

Even better, the sixth one loses, we're all disconsolate and you then realise you'd accidentally backed the winner.

Right, I'm off to play pool.

#TiltPotting

Ha, some draw bore was all over Fast Shot from stall 1 in the Ripon sprint, then took him out this morning. That would have been some way to go down if we'd negged the first few.

Defo looking like a rollover only 16 tickets left going into leg 4.  Big priced winner here and it kills it I think. 

Rollover :)

Will be funny if an absolute rag wins and the place pays £x00,000

Same time same place next week then!  Surely the bigger it gets the more likely lotto players will have a go as it will probably be bigger than the lotto jackpot next week

I have split off everything related to the 2nd SCOOP thread, for Saturday May 3rd, see...
