The Virtual Bookmaker

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the betting lounge

Anyone is welcome to join the game at any time by simply posting in this thread and saying they wish to open an account. They will then be credited with £1000 which can then be used to bet on any of the markets i have posted below at the given odds which will be updated in the main article.
If your balance runs down to zero, you recredited with £1000. (but this will be a loan from the virtual bank) If and when you have made enough money you can pay the bank back if you wish.

The minimum bet is £10.

Remember this is abit of fun. I cant be around all the time to update...and if this thread becomes popular then i will require help running it.


Additional Rules

eg template post will say : 06/03/2011 13:30 Liverpool v Manchester United - Liverpool @2.80 Draw @3.25 Manu @2.50
so you copy and paste and make clear you bet like this: 06/03/2011 13:30 Liverpool v Manchester United - Manu win @2.50 (£100)

2. Accuminator bets are now allowed, however you will have to consult this site to work out your bets. http://www.betcalc.com/accacalc.php

be very careful when editing because your editing was done @ 4.21 pm and some of your bets were 15:00 starts. it could be looked upon as cheating. i know you havent cheated. but this is just a warning.

anyone who has to make an edit must do so before the first game starts
