Thanks mate :)

It's bittersweet because the only other bets I did this weekend were all small singles and were:

Everton 18/5
Man United - Liverpool draw 23/10
Green Bay Packers 19/10
Pittsburgh Steelers 23/20

If I'd have tacked those selections onto the accumulator above, I think it's up near 150-200k! Trying not to think of it like that though.

I saw this on TV yesterday.......from Australia.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Watch the jockey in the purple...with orange cap......

The reason for his massive swerve into the other horses is that his girlfriend is in the lead and he wants her to win.

I know you tried it a while back but we should do a challenge where we all agree on a bet of the day and roll the winnings over

Yeah, I enjoyed that.

Crosse Fire, by the way, got caught in the traps and started 3-4 lengths behind so was never going to win.

Just got a daily bet, all took turns, picked a selection or a couple of selections, then staked a % of the overall bank.

I think it would work best if there were 4 or 5 very dedicated members doing it and also that we didn't rely on a daily bet, just when the person gets round to their go. After all, some days offer no value.

A few people liked the idea of it, but once it started going, people lost interest a bit. I think partly due to missing days and there being quite a lot of people doing it.

If it can be scaled down to half a dozen people (we could even do 2 separate groups if need be) and not have to be daily, just whenever that person makes a pick, then it could work.

It's a lot of fun. Doesn't need to be huge money or searching for huge profit. It's satisfying all pulling together looking for a good bet knowing that you're doing it for the group and feeling proud when you pick a winner :)

Think I managed to pick a nice double selection when it was my go. But generally I am quite terrible at gambling nowadays. Having slight pressure to pick well may change my selection habits though. If you struggle for numbers you could put me on the subs bench!
