::crazy_face:: Stir Crazy Antidote #8 - 2020 Grand National (Virtual)

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

Sorry even more confused with this virtual nonsense… anyway back to my original point… at least no shootings this year… unless we have virtual fallers and neck breaks etc… would make it more real I guess…

4 horses @CB-Saint

As usual with the Grand National sweepstake the horse(s) I pick up will either be non-runners or pull up lame…AVOID MY CHOICES

The whole lot is on that horse

Do you think the virtual AI will make some horses lame before the off?

Ballsy.

Bet big win big

The ones I pull “out of the hat” will have something happen to them. Hopefully they’ve made the AI do things like pulling up lame, and non-runners Wouldn’t be the same otherwise.

In that case I think I’m going to cancel all 4 bets and keep the stake.

Now you’ve set a precedent, if people only select 2 horses are we assuming a 50/50 split or do they have to say £300 on A. £100 on B (got to be multiples of £100)…

You bastard.

You won’t be happy until they put a screen around a faller…

I fucking knew it.

This was never going to be simple.

I hope nobody picked one of my reality moments, Tiger eating a Roll on 15th tee…
You’re so screwed

I know absolutely nothing about horses, but the four I picked had all been picked by somebody else before me so dumb luck must count for something.

Chose my 4 horses…

Like all mammals, if you’ve got a long way to run you want to carry as little weight as possible.

If that doesn’t prove true, neither do i.

how come 12 voters and only 42 votes ?
Surely should be 48 who has already got a non runner?

@CB-Saint and @Lets-B-Drinking have decided to place all their money on 1 horse, don’t ask
