Cheltemham Boards Tipster Comp?

Howjoe1 · 2014-03-02 20:12:10

is there usually one? Could be a bit of fun. I'm up for a tenner a head or what ever. No harm starting sooner rather than later if there is interest. Any volunteers for holding the kitty?

What - virtual tenners?

No chance of organising a kitty - stick with the fun league like last year.

Handy enough to organise a kitty really. Said it in another thread, sounds like a nice idea to me.

If people send me there tenners I can act as custodian until the winner is announced. I won't log off change my name and move to the Bahamas

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=83616307 this is the one we did last year! Will we do a poll to see if people want a paid league or not?

I'd imagine most would vote for a paid league, doubt they would be coughing up cash though.

How would you even do it - cash in the post to a stakeholder? all assemble at a pre arranged location to hand it to a stakeholder? electronic transfers - cant see that happening. Honour system - even less likely.

Did something similar on letsbet.ie before. Was a bit more complicated, but everyone threw in €20 (I think) and had 20 points to bet. Someone opened a bet 365 account and managed the bets. We got a nice bonus from bet 365 and everyone got some bonus money to bet with too.

Ended up with us making around €50 each as far as I remember. Really enjoyed it.

I'm happy enough if its just for fun.

I play in one or two other ones generally and we find in easy enough to get everyone send a tenner via paypal etc upfront (no payt before no entry allowed). I'm sure we have a trustworthy Mod?

But happy to play for fun (and keep us all anom users)

Would be happy to get involved in this, whether money involved or not. Not a tip in every race though (obviously!) but a bank of 10 or 20 pts per day to be placed at SP. EW/Doubles/trebles etc would be fine by me as long as all bets are Cheltenham on same day.

Could lodge the money into someone's Paddy Power account over the counter or something and then they could pay out the winner/winners?

10 or 20 a head and then maybe 10 points a day to stake.
All horses returned at SP.

Ya, I think I'll do the same one as last year, if someone wants to set up a paid competition they can!

Could do the jackpot each day. Normally very good in Chelt. Hard to cover alot of perms as a single punter because its 50p per line. On another note if we were using people power we could pool in for Scoop 6 if the guy doesnt get bonus this weekend?

I'm running one of these myself with a few friends there are 26 of us in at the moment, I've set up a paypal account for lads down the country or away so you's are more than welcome to pm me if you's are interested.

I'd do one for run here too if you guys are running one and will even run one here if you's would like, I plan on being 'sick' next week
