The Sotonians’ Grand National Sweepstake
How will it work?
Right, no idea if this will work, but the only way I can think to make this work is for
- Everyone to pick a maximum of 4 horses
- A virtual £100 each way (first 4 places) bet will be placed on each of your horses.
- The winner returns the odds shown below
- 2nd, 3rd and 4th places pay 1/4 of their odds
- The winning poster will be the one that wins the most money from their ‘investment’
Where can I see the race?
It will be broadcast (live) by ITV at 5pm - hopefully someone will be able to find a dodgy stream.
After the race…
Workout your winnings and post in the thread the total amount. These claims will be rigorously scrutinized before Bletch is declared the winner.
In the event of a tie
Are you taking the piss? It’s only going to be me playing anyway. Erm? No idea.
Vote now - select a maximum of 4 (four) horses
The poll will close at 4:45pm
