Coming soon...The Sotonians' World Cup Sweepstake

A suggestion - at the moment we have 24 people in, times £5 = a pot of £120 - so £60 Brazil or Germany (say)/£60 sick children

How about we make it a flat £50 for the winner, but £10 for the whoever has the team that lets in the most goals in the group stage - otherwise if you draw Panama, Saudi, (England) etc it’s not very interesting…

Then if we get more sign up = more cash for the kiddies

Goat - PM bank details please - thx

edit: SO5 4BW is in and paid.

@goatboy . Could you PM bank details please?

Im happy to go old school and take a cheque for the winnings. May as well send it now to save time. You have my address (worryingly)

:lou_wink:

Fowllyd has parted with readies.

Bathsaint and Cobham Saint paid up.

Yeah, @rallyboy has pissed on your maths @so5-4bw as he’s thrown his Gary Numan hat into the ring asking for Brazil.

He’s also asked me to settle his account for him. @goatboy , you’ll get another £5 from me.

Also, as much as I like the plan @so5-4bw , a load of people signed up with one set of rules so I’m loathed to change them assuming that everyone is happy (I’m pretty sure they would be, mind.). However, if you’ve got the stamina to get 25 OK’s then I’m good.

I THINK I’ve updated all of them. Can you check @goatboy ?

You don’t give a fuck about the sick kids, do you? Utter wanker.

A little late to this party but I think a couple of errant balls are still in the bottom of the scraggy bag. Will get details from GBoy and pay up.

Don’t be too hard on yourself mate - for most people it’s just mild dislike and annoyance

Re the rules - sure, was only a suggestion. Take money away from the starving children, I don’t care - I’ll draw Germany anyway.

Was only thinking of Fowllyd who’ll draw Wales Saudi Arabia

All the people that agree should upvote @so5-4bw 's post that moots the idea, that way we can garner an idea of the support behind it.

Personally I’m not upvoting until he’s organised our cricket away day :lou_lol:

Now THAT’s my kinda prize.

Ones for coming last. Some of the best golf prizes I’ve won were for coming last - one year I got a free golf esson voucher on the day I turned up to take the lesson none other than Pete Cowen was there and I got a private lesson from him…

Ah sorry that was golf

On the wrong thread.

My bad.

Actually today is a big #saintsfc and golf link day.

Our very own MLT is playing in the BMW PGA Pro-Am which is actually one of the largest “non tournament” golf days of the year. Tons of celebs and sporting personalities taking part.

But not worth putting a bet on him, he hasn’t hit balls for about 3 weeks :slight_smile:

Video of him in action no less
