Fat & Blokes Pubbington Capital LLP aka SPECIAL SE SYNDICATE
A syndicate is a self-organizing group of individuals, companies, corporations or entities formed to transact some specific business, to pursue or promote a shared interest.
What?
We are a self-organised group of individuals formed to transact some specific business, that piece of specific business being the full and total devastation of the bookmaking industry.
Each member (hereafter referred to as "Partner") of Fat & Blokes Pubbington Capital LLP ("FBPC LLP") aka Special SE Syndicate ("SSES") will contribute ten of the Queen's finest Pound Sterling into a common pot ("The Fund"). The Fund will be used to prosecute Investment Opportunities.
But how are wagers selected?
They are not wagers, they are Investments.
How are Investments selected?
There will be four groups of Partners: A, B, C and D. Partners will be allocated to groups in random fashion.
In week 1, each group A Partner will have the right (but not the obligation) to Lodge an Investment Proposal. Each Proposer will have the right (but not the obligation) to publish an Investment Prospectus in support of their Investment Proposal.
All Partners of FBPC LLP aka SSES will then have the right (but not the obligation) to vote on which of the Investment Proposals they most favour. The top three Proposals by votes attained will be Actioned. In the event of a drawn vote, Investments will be ranked according to timing of Lodgement (the earlier the Investment was Proposed, the higher the ranking).
In week 2 it is group B's turn to Lodge Investment Proposals, and so on.
What type of Investment Proposal may be Lodged?
Anything which can be Actioned on betfair may be Proposed. We have a wide range of specialist knowledge at our disposal and intend to exploit it fully.
The Proposal and voting process will last from Monday to Thursday. Investments will be Actioned on Friday.
Kindly note that Investments must be due to settle on or before June 1 2020 in order to be valid. Medium-term Investments are therefore eligible for Proposal.
How much Capital will be allocated to each Investment each week?
5% of The Fund's Capital will be placed on the #1 Investment Proposal by vote share, 4% on #2 and 3% on #3.
Who will escrow, and who will Action the Investments?
I will escrow for the British contingent. CPHoya has been nominated to hold Capital for the Americans. A mainland euro has not yet been found to hold mainland eurotard/rest of worldtard Capital, but will be. It is expected that Yank and Euro Capital will remain untouched for the duration. Please note that I am not responsible if CPHoya or the euro fanny off with their Capital.
This Fund structure ensures maximum security at minimum cost.
I will Action the Investments using betfair.
I'm not convinced. What's the point?
The point is that we are going to take advantage of two powerful factors in the pursuit of Profit. First, the unparalleled sports-based knowledge of this forum. Second, the well known phenomenon known as 'wisdom of crowds'.
In the year 1552 a crowd of English people were asked to estimate the weight of an Ox that had been brought to market. Lots of guesses were submitted, many wildly inaccurate. But when totalled up and averaged, the combined guess was merely two pounds from the true answer. The wisdom of crowds.
What else?
I will be providing regular updates on the Fund's performance vs a basket of Alternative Investment Vehicles. I will also be keeping an eye on the performance of each group of Partners.
The Fund aims to be up and running by 1 July 2019.
The Fund will be liquidated and Capital returned to the Partners on 1 June 2020 or when the bookies have all gone out of business whichever comes first.

We invite further Partners.
Welp Stafford needs a big 2nd half, only 46 yards in the 1st
Lol, stafford. He almost got halfway there!
Damn you Stafford, both Geno and Goff hit their over easily :(
Too bad it wasn't collective yards!
It's that time again for new proposals, let's just keep it open for everyone rather than do it by group as we never get loads anyway.
Poll will go up on Thursday evening as usual
Good change I think
We should probably do a Christmas day Boxing day handegg football parlay.
Possibly teams in red
KC and Forest maybe
KC and Forest double would've won :(
Guess we'll have the week off this week, next vote will go up Thursday 2nd so get your proposals in for anything taking place later than Friday 3rd
Also i've put £11.50 on Wattimena to win @ 4/9, he plays tonight
That starts next
Wright has a chest infection and looks like death warmed over. He is also playing his best game of the season, naturally.
LOL US
Bump, anyone got any proposals for this weekend?
Let’s go with Jordan Love throwing for over 250 yards against the Bears at +150. I’m a long suffering Bears fan and I have a deeply bad feeling about how this will turn out

Are we sure Love plays the whole game? They could get out to a large lead and then sit him for a portion of the 2nd half. Just something to consider.
Liverpool vs ManU at Anfield on Sunday - over 3.5 goals is at +100 currently. Combining Liverpool's lively attack with Manchester's very leaky defense...i think Pool will score 4+ on their own.
Fulham to beat Ipswich
3 proposals so far, i'll have a look for something so there will be 4 minimum
I'll put the vote up in 6 hours so get looking folks!
I'll propose Partick (H) and Stenhousemuir (H) both to win @ 9/4
Partick are unbeaten at home playing against a **** Dunfermline team that have only taken 1 point from 9 away games this season, only reason they aren't bottom of the league is because Airdrie are even worse. Should be an easy home win here.
Stenhousemuir are 2nd in the table after a huge away win vs Alloa last time out, they've won 5 of their last 7 games and are pushing for a 2nd promotion in 2 seasons whilst Annan are ****, winning just once in their last 9 games and they would be bottom of the table if it wasn't for the 15 point deductions given to Inverness and Dumbarton.
tldr: Partick and Stenny good, Dunfermline and Annan poo
what sport is that
It's Scottish football :p
I'll actually be at the Stenny game, my dad lives right next to their stadium and is a big fan
Vote is up!
