    1) No limit on the sports. Not fair on those who gamble on basketball, horseracing etc.
    2) Pick one bookies odds only. Having multiple odds etc leads to too much confusion. Its mostly for fun so getting 6/5 on boyles rather than the 11/10 the Paddy Power odds give your for the game won't really matter. Betfair should be absolutely banned (giving the fluctuations)
    3) Have an entry list. People put forward their name on a thread and then the organisor works from that
    4) Set a maximum amount of bets per week per poster. 5 is enough.
    5) If someone doesn't make a bet that week they lose 5 points
    6) None of this editing your own post ****e, get someone in charge and they monitor each bet and check the result of it. They should also check the price of each bet (which is why picking one bookies site helps)
    7) Have one thread per week, and absolutely no discussion in it. Just bets and the results.
    8) Whoever's in charge should do weekly roundups. Have the betting week start on Monday @ 7am (which allows people bet on NFL, baseball and basketball on late US sunday nights).
    9) To help casual punters, make the betting fund €100 instead of 20 units. Its handier too for working out winnings

    The important thing is to get an organiser who's committed to doing it and has the time. If its a free for all it becomes a joke.
    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.

    Apologies to all those who have been trying to bet but have nt been able to, its out of my hands the mods locked the thread .

    If you want to place any bets you can put them in here and we will use this weekend as a test run. ( so basically these bets will be free bets and wont count in the league ). to see how well or how badly it will run.

    For this weekend use the rules in post 1 of the Foot.ie Betting league thread. On monday i will put the rules back up for debate so if you are interested please at least leave a post saying so or contribute something to the rules so we can get as many people as possible happy with this before we start.

    If we post the rules monday and close them on thursday morning that will give us time to get bets on for the weekend. But in the mean time if you have any ideas on rules throw them out.
