Im going to run it and im trying to inlist the help of the Boss as he knows his stuff on the betting front.
1. I wanted to limit the sports a bit because it will take forever to check if people are betting on obscure horse racing in kentucky, i reckon the range we have gives a good cover to most people, if all you know if the EPL then you bet on that. Think horse racing will empty peoples pockets too quickly im hoping that this will last the year. i originally only wanted footy as this being a footy site i felt people would have a good knowledge about it. But again the rules are to be set by those taking part so if people want to change it i dont mind
2. i dont mind on this front if people want to agree on one bookies then thats fine but i dont mind just using odds checker as the one site to check odds.
3. we ll need to work on this i was hoping to get everyone starting at the same time on the same amount so we can run it as a proper league. But with people on hols this time of year it may not be possible.
I think we should start it this week and leave it open untill next friday after that they can pm me and we ll try sort something out reduced entry points or something.
4. again i dont mind i want to keep the rules to a min i dont want it to be too overbearing but again ill leave it up to the guys taking part. i think max bets per day could be done but if you wanted to do 2 on monday night footy and 4 at the weekend you should be aloud
5. i dont want this with people heading on hols around this time they could easily miss a week, I think loosing points isnt too fair maybe if you dont bet for 2or3 straight weeks (without telling me your on hols )your out . And some weeks there just might not be any bet you want to put on.
6. the edit your own posts would have kept it tidy and i cant see why some one would cheat, its just a bit of fun you get nothing for winning and when i was reading the site rules it said you can see what they edited anyway in case they do cheat.
7. thought this would flood the betting section with threads and the mess wouldnt go down well with the mods so i wanted to keep it all in the one location but if the mods dont mind i dont.
8. seems fine
9. also i dont mind i chose 20 to keep bets small and fun
I left the rules up for anyone interested in taking part to give there imput and anyone that was interested did and we came up with the ones in post 1 of the betting league thread.They have been set now and Any changes we do make will be minor so can you reopen the thread so people can get there bets on.
