I was wondering if there was any interest out there in starting a punter's club on this board this season? I was thinking we could start a Sportsbet account or the like where everyone contributes an amount at the start of the year (say $10), which allows you to have 2 $5 bets throughout the AFL season - preferably related to the Lions that weekend. Sportsbet gives you a range of betting options - from head-to-head and line results, most possessions, total goals, highest goal kicker etc.
With this format we would have one $5 bet a week (for 22 rounds plus 4 finals games) which means if we get 13 participants, you will be in charge of placing 2 bets throughout the year for your $10 investment.
The winnings (ideally) could than be used in whatever way the majority want, say:
So let us know if this would be something you would be interested in, and I will get the ball rolling if there is enough interest.
Roster:
Round 1 - PertRoosOsbourne and whatboutbob
Round 2 - wabaa and irel
Round 3 - Duritz and Football Pope
Round 4 - POBT and TheBrownDog
Round 5 - Lace Out and Cousin Jed
Round 6 - GG and Grimreepah
Round 7 - Warwick and lionbear
Round 8 - cjwalkley and blynd_freddie

- Helping to purchase another player sponsorship before the 2011 season.
- Going towards a bar tab for an end-of-season outing at the Lions Den (John has his Coopers cloudy, with a half-glass of sediment).
- Donating it to a charity or helping to buy a membership for a Lions fan doing it tough.
- Rolling it over for another year.
