Will you be posting progress reports on here so that we can see how things are going ?
Ralph, I wasn't planning to do that regularly to be honest. But I am sure it will get mentioned at some stage in the future.  |

But only at that stage. |

If we indeed get a 3K kitty then yeah looking at 150 bets. Of course some people might still pull out (though I hope not) Paddy Power is the bookie of choice at the moment |

The Rules of the betting;
I will stake 5% of any kitty per bet with a £50 minimum, (as explained below, betsize readjusted every 3 months)
does this mean if the kitty goes up after say the 1st race by 20% each bet will increase as well or does it stay at the original bet size??

Of course some people might still pull out (though I hope not) Paddy Power is the bookie of choice at the moment i know nothing about horse racing but do you not have to shop around for the best price? yes you can shop around for best prices (in fact it helps as it can make a point difference). It is however clearer for everyone if all the money is kept in one account. This way everyone will know that I'm not ripping people off. Also PP are, on average, pretty much up there with decent morning odds and they, like many other bookies, offer a best price guarantee (one of the main reasons I won't use betfair on this one). This allows me to take their morning price and still get the SP if that's higher than their morning price. One thing I wanted to avoid is having 5 or 6 accounts. However I can definitely see that becoming an option in a few months or so. CIA, betsize will stay the same for 3 months so I won't change it after every race. |

Also, there will be a fair bit of bonus whoring and all that sort of good stuff to increase any profit we could possibly have...in the beginning I'd just like to keep it simple with one bookie so everyone knows what's what.

Have you opened a new bank account for this money Boldie or just going into your own? The reason I ask is because the simplest why imo would be to just have a new bank acc and open accounts with bookies over the phone on that card. This way you can shop around for best prices easy as. And most bookies on the phone now return your money to you at the end of every night so your money will always be in that account.

Just going into my own as my bank said it would take 2 weeks to sort everything when I asked which would have been a bit of a pain. I shall speak to the bank today though as what you're saying makes plenty sense |

OK everything is closed now, if you are on the list but are still to send the moneys, please ensure it's in one of the accounts before 05-02.
I am guessing some people will not go ahead with it (as is ussually the case) so hope the fund should be 3k for betsizes of 150.
