YOU BET GAME - 2017

Hi great mates.

Just pondering next years rule tweaks without the dreaded rule 6. Your input would be appreciated. First draft attached.

2018 rules

1. Do you want to play? Just post a message saying I want to play and you are in.

2. Every player will be credited with £20 per round on a race by race basis. Whether you spend all this money in each round or save it up to spend later, or not at all, is up to you.

3. To place a bet, post in this thread, stating your driver to win, your money and if you are betting 'each way'. Just remember each way bets cost double the stated amount. Please see the examples below.

4. Maximum 1 bet per round (or the spread sheet would get even more complicated)

5. All bets are on the winner. Each way bets can be placed at 1/3rd odds for a place 1st - 3rd. All winning bets are calculated by spreadsheet formula based on this wiki page. If you are unsure how each way betting works please see the examples below.

6. The odds are taken from a randomly chosen betting shop and will be posted as soon as available.

7. All bets must be in before midnight UK time, the day before 1st practice or they wont be counted. Watch out for Monaco, practice is on Thursday for some weird outdated reason that nobody can remember.

8. I will post everyone's balance only after the official race result is announced.

9. If your driver doesn't run in the race for some reason your money will be refunded.

10. The player with the most money at the end of the season is the champion and gets added to the wall of champions. Other 'special' awards will be given out at random for which ever reasons I see fit

That would be a tad unfair. I Don't think they should get a bet at all. I think they should just get a fine. No one should have a chance of winning if they Don't make the effort to play.
 
How about, you get the £20 for the race and you must either make a bet or opt to retain the cash and build up a slush fund. Either way, you must make a post stating your intention. Bet on a driver or Hold the cash. That way the money gets placed in your account.

Fail to do either and you don't get your £20 for that race.
 
I second liking that too! Although it prob won't help me as I'll make some huge wild bet and be out the game by May like I usually am.
 
Can I just clarify Greenlantern101 that the winnings are banked and can't be used to bet. So in essence, if I bet £20 on driver A to win at 1/1 and it comes in, I get £40 back, that gets put into the bank and then the next race I get another £20 to bet. If that one wins at the same odds, I get another £40 back making my game total £80. I couldn't then bet in the next race that £80 plus the £20 I get for race 3 giving me a £100 bet?

In essence you start from £20 each race and bank the winnings for a prize total at the end. Is that how I read it ??
