Ok so who would be up for doing a football syndicate for this Saturday where we will be playing for a cool £1 million

Not sure how many of you have seen Colossus bet before or played it but every Saturday and can play for £1million for guessing the result in 15 football matchs

the good think is if you are not sure we can Back Home/Draw/Away result

so in one on the games this weekend  Everton-Aston Villa  we could back     Home and the draw to cover our self

Its £2 a play and the more you cover the more your ticket costs you i think if we can get £5k we can have a good go at this

Colossus will match our 1st £500 bet



The Games are

Burnley-West Ham United
Everton-Aston Villa
Newcastle-Leicester City
Southampton-Sunderland
Brighton & Hove Albion-Middlesbrough
Fulham-Norwich City
Reading-Derby County
Bradford City-Sheffield United
QPR-Liverpool
Stoke-Swansea
Deportivo La Coruna-Valencia
Inter Milan-Napoli
West Bromwich Albion-Manchester United
CSKA Moscow-Manchester City
Roma-FC Bayern München

feedback would be need on who we should cover

at stages we can sell parts of the ticket back to them   so if we get to the champions league games we could get a £30k offer for the ticket  we can sell 50% of the ticket for £15k and the would be then playing for 50% of the prize pool £500k


let me know what people think

Q. What is the Colossus Bets takeout per pool?
A The takeout per pool is 30%, which means that for example from a £2 stake, £1.40 goes towards the relevant prize funds in a pool and 60p is deducted in operating costs by Colossus Bets. We think this 30% takeout is very competitive when you consider that:

I think we should get maximum value from their match our £500 offer and just raise a monkey for our first go and then see how we feel about moving forward.

I would say never sell the ticket.

You are very unlikely to get the full value of the ticket by closing early.

You don't have to sell the whole ticket you can sell it in 10% blocks

We could have 3 games to go and they could offer 300k for it we could sell 30%
For £90k and we would be then playing for £700k jackpot

Obviously "selling" the ticket or a % of it is just laying off at a terrible price.
