Hi All

Noticed this thread on non football
With bookmakers being closed, tempted to run a Fishy Sweep for the National
obviously 40 horses. lets say £10.00 a go- if majority think thats too high we can lower to a Fiver

£275.00 to the first Placed Horse
£50.00 to Second Place
£35.00 for Third Place
£20.00 for Fourth
£20.00 to the first faller ( keeps someone who falls at the first happy)!

Whats everyones thoughts? i'd be happy to run and sort if the demand is there- obviously will withhold from having a go myself

I ran our work sweepstake two years ago and ended up with Tiger Roll and cant be doing with accusations again ;D ;D

I'll be up for it.

Might be a bit short notice though to get enough before Saturday.

I'm in Hagrid mate, I don't do online betting.

I'm in..

I’d be in

I'm in

Yep I'm in please, but as Les says I think you'll be up against it to get 40 entries, all paid up and then have time to do the draw by the time the race starts. I hope you can pull it off, good luck!

Yep I'm in if you go ahead

Maybe if we only get 20 people interested you could say 2 horses for a tenner and halve the prize money stated.

I think you need to put some sort of deadline for entries though to give enough time for people to get the money in,  to do the draw and get it posted on here.

Yeah okay if we get to 20. We’ll do 2 horses each.

We’ll say a deadline of 5pm tomorrow for entries

I will then post my paypal details on here. If all entrants can get funds to me by 12pm Saturday and i will do the draw straight after

Doesn't Les always say payment needs to be to "family or friends" or he gets charged/loses out or something?

Yeah, I'll give it a go, hopefully we can get enough people, thanks for making the effort to arrange it Hagrid.

Yes please

I Will give it a go ....but not on a comp again till 1900 tonight  (but I would like to think Les would vouch that I was pay promptly)

and me

Okay guys my paypal is connortwixswales@hotmail.co.uk

The email address was made a long long time ago😂

Please sent Send to Family and Friends as otherwise i incur a charge, please also say who its from. Obviously if we dont get to 20/40 entries i will return the funds for those who have paid

Thanks

I’ve just sent my payment Hagrid - many thanks

Mines on its way

Money sent, thanks.

Bumping this Up as need more entrants

C'mon fishies, get on this sweepstake!!

If there aren't enough participants just draw 2 horses each and if any of the horses not drawn win something give it to charity, just a thought.

Paid up...👍

only had 6 payments so fat and no fresh entries. if no improvement by tonight will return the money to those who have paid

Don't panic, stay calm and wait till the morning. Some will be at work and others might not have logged on yet.

Sent earlier

Just bumping this up to the top if anyone else is interested. If so get your tenner over to Hagrid and then it'll give us a bit of extra interest in the race tomorrow.

Yo Hagrid. £10 sent via paypal for the sweep (friends and family cos' we are!)

Come on gents ..... round us up

Payment sent

Got it mate

Thats 90.00 so far gents and Ladies

Want to get up to 200.00 by 12 tomorrow and get you all 2 horses each and please remember if sending via paypal to select friends and family or paypal take a deduction of the money sent

Hagrid, did you get my payment, my PayPal can be a bit hit n miss bud.

Yes i did mate thank you

Quoted from Hagrid

Yes i did mate thank you

Cheers H.

It has mate

12 payments in. Im hoping for 8 more before 12.00 tomorrow. Cmon gentleman its 10 pounds

Morning all

Sell your wives favourite iron and find 10 pounds

The thought was nice Hagrid but the begging isn’t a great look

Will look to return all the money folks. 12 entrants just isnt worth running with

Thank you for the time and effort you put in. Shame it's not a runner ( excuse the pun) but I can concentrate on a town win this afternoon.

Refund received, thanks for trying to give it a go, Hagrid.

Received, thanks for trying 👍

Cheers for trying Hagrid. A shame really that we couldn't get even 20 in the time.

Thanks for trying Hagrid...

Thanks Hagrid, cash back

No problem all!
