Before we start, I have to say that this game is not my invention.
It has been & is currently being run on another sports/racing forum but I have been given permission by the person in charge (a guy called "the_kid") to run it here.
(If you want to see the game currently being played, PM me & I'll give you the link to the site.)
THE RULES
You must post 2 bets a week at MINIMUM odds of 1.5 (exchanges) or 1/2 (bookie sites) OR Joker(s) instead of bets.
You start with 3 Lives AND 3 Jokers.
If a bet loses, you lose a life.
JOKERS
Jokers can be played instead of posting bets.........in order to maintain your lives for as long as possible.
**NOTE** If you fail to post the required number of bets/Jokers in a week, a Joker will be played on your behalf for each bet you fail to post, & once your Jokers have gone, then your Lives will be used. (See CATCH UP rules for holidays/breaks)
Once your lives have gone, you are out of the game.
Surviving Jokers cannot be used once your lives are gone.
Played tactically, Jokers can be useful for staying in the game.
At the end of every SECOND week, if you are still alive, you will receive a bonus life (up to a maximum of 3 bonus lives).
CATCH UP
If you are going to be on holiday/taking a break (unable to post your bets) for up to 2 consecutive weeks during the game..........you may play CATCH UP........ as long as you inform your fellow players before your holiday/break begins (otherwise Jokers/lives will be played on your behalf).
CATCH UP means that on your return to the game, you will primarily have to post bets/Jokers to cover the week(s) you have been away PLUS bets/Jokers for the current week to resume normal play.
Bets can be on ANY sport or event.
Bets can be on ANY outcome.....ie corners in a football match, correct score predictions etc.
Bets must be BACK bets to win/place.......NO LAY, IN-RUNNING, MULTIPLES or SPREAD BETS allowed.
Bets must be settled by the end of the week in which they are posted.
Your bets can be posted at ANY time during each 7 day period, ie they don't both have to be posted at the start of each week......you can post them on the day of the event if you wish.
When you post your bets you MUST include:
Date of event
Event
Selection
Type of bet......win, place, number of goals, under/over, HT/FT etc etc.
Odds
Name of exchange/bookie offering the named odds.
Duplicate bets by different players are NOT allowed.
Bets are accepted on a first come first served basis.
I am planning to start the game on Monday 1st September.
This will of course be dependent on a reasonable amount of interested players.
An Amazon voucher will be awarded to the overall winner.
If you fancy your chances.....please post here.
