Just had a brainwave, hard to imagine i know.

Rules.

1 bet per week, odds dont matter. winner stays on.

I think it  should start on monday the 19th, its going to be hard to manage but we really need at least 32 players.

Only football or horses allowed, unless anyone thinks we should include another sports, personally you get too many walk overs in say tennis and other sports.

we could narrow it down even further if you want.
Pause • Switch to Standard View Competition - winner stays on

Why the pickled cucumber not?
Sounds like grand idea.
Might need to implement an "above 1.xx(?) price" else it will turn into a who's gonna find the 1.01 bet in an obscure market type of thing.

If you make it 1.01+ then it just becomes who can pick the shortest odds and hope they win. Gnarley is right, 2.0 or above odds should whittle the field down quick but also make the game interesting. You can also include all sports at 2.0 or above.

Good idea Sonko, I'll play although I'm a hopeless punter.

Start this anyway on the 19th and people will join, just make the cut off for last entries on the 25th and run it out until there's a winner. This will catch on imo even if it's only paper trading.

Personally I think it should be an odds against selection but if not how about 1.1 rather than 1.01 otherwise it would only have whittled down to about 25 players by November Crazy

pumphol your unaware of my 1.01 betting record. Trust me it wont take long.CryCryLaugh

The thing is with really short odds is it could go on for months. Better to have short competitions so you can get another one going. I suspect odds of 2.0 or higher will still last around 2 months.

You could have one for the World Cup with lives involved ie. 5 lives and pick the result of each match.

There seems a bit of interest in this so best get the rules sorted before it starts.

Yes comp has to be over a shorter length otherwise people who are knocked out early wont be back for a second helping as they would have lost interest in looking in to see how long before the next comp starts.
Report Ibrahima Sonko • May 17, 2014 3:58 PM BST
