# The Sotoniansā€™ 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 Ā£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 ā€˜investmentā€™ ### 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 raceā€¦ 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? Itā€™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 List of runners (number, Name, Jockey, Odds, Weight) _Poll ([view on site](https://www.sotonians.com/t/stir-crazy-antidote-8-2020-grand-national-virtual/5531/1))_ ---

Sorry even more confused with this virtual nonsenseā€¦ anyway back to my original pointā€¦ at least no shootings this yearā€¦ unless we have virtual fallers and neck breaks etcā€¦ would make it more real I guessā€¦ ---

Now youā€™ve set a precedent, if people only select 2 horses are we assuming a 50/50 split or do they have to say Ā£300 on A. Ā£100 on B (got to be multiples of Ā£100)ā€¦ ---
