Anyone else interested in the competition I mentioned on some other thread?
20 Euro in - You use the vbookie and you can bet as often or as rarely as you like and the person who makes the most vCash profit over a month keeps the pot.
Sounds good to me. Maybe even let it run longer, say April 1st until the night of the champions league final, and then a new one starting the week after - taking in Euro 2008, eL, GAA provincial championships etc.
E-mail me those prices or whatever flingo, Iâll see if I have time to put them up.
Yeah, seems fine. We could also do a more simple weekly football sweep or whatever too. Say everyone pays âŹ5 into the paypal account and thereâs 10 or 15 fixtures to predict from a mixture of European leagues or something and you do the usual 1 for a home win, 2 for an away win and x for a draw. You could also predict the total number of goals from all the games and that could be used in a tie-break situation with the closest winning. Even if 15/20 people entered every week youâd be looking at âŹ75/âŹ100 for the winner. Any thoughts?
I think V Bookie idea sounds best. Means there can be tactics added to the mix if you know how other posters are doing and if you need to slowly accumulate money or go for a long shot.

Im in on this anyway sounds good
pay pal is the way to go
The problem with Cheltenham will be the odds moving and you canât update Vbookie. I suppose itâs just a question of going with the prices on the morning of the races or something and ignoring any other market movements.
Not sure what to do about the GAA matches from the weekend. Canât pay out on Dublin - Monaghan until itâs refixed but thereâs a time lapse on the thing to prevent me never paying out so the whole thing becomes void in a few days.
Options are:
pay out on everything eles and mark all Dublin-Monaghan bets as a loss
record some sort of âpools panel verdictâ and pay out on a particular result
Rock, you should either pay out on everything else bar the Dublin v Monaghan game, or if possible refund those who bet on this particular match?
Not paying fellaâs their winnings from this weekend would make a total farce of the whole vbookie facility imo. I took a hefty loss on one particular game but also made huge returns when predicting the tipp v clare draw. I will not be at all happy if this particular gambling masterstroke turns out to be in vainâŚ

The software doesnât allow a refund. I have to mark one of the outcomes down as a win or else anyone who bets on that match will have lost.
So while I can put in the rest of the real results I need to invent a Dublin-Monaghan result. Not sure whether that should be to pay out on a Dublin win or just say hard luck to anyone who bet on that match and make all the bets on that match as losses.
Rock,
All thatâs been placed on that game is 30 veuros on the Dubs to win at odds on. This represents a very small gain. You should just pay out on this scenario, and consequently be in a position to pay out on all other winning bets. I donât think anyone is going to kick up a fuss about it.
