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.
Ugh. Sorry everyone. I thought my proposal was sound. My bad. :(
(Non-proposal) Thing I really want to have a bet on, but can't find odds anywhere - NCAA women's volleyball tournament, Nebraska to take it all.
Another thing I was looking at - Oklahoma City is currently +500 to win the NBA cup. But the odds will move sharply after tonight's games (they are yet to qualify for the knock-out stage), so either it's an emergency bet which needs 8 AYEs, or we wait until tomorrow morning to re-assess. They are playing Utah Jazz tonight (bottom team) and have various scenarios to qualify, so I think that should not be in question really.
AYE to Oklahoma
If you also say AYE put a % up to 5% and i'll put on the average if we get enough
5% from me
I also can't find NCAA women's volleyball anywhere, not on oddschecker either
aye to okc as well
Aye to okc
Aye to okc, 5% is good
3 more needed, few hours to go
Aye, but 2.5%
Just looked at OKC injury report... Holmgren is out until after the cup is done. For tonight's game Jaylen Williams and Caruso are out. I guess that shouldn't change today's results, but explains the odds a bit. They might need Holmgren vs Celtics or Cavs in the final.
I put some of my own money on it, FWIW, but would go with 2.5% of LLP's funds.
Ye
5%
I met halfway and done 3.75% (£12) which is now ON
Also our darts guy won his 2nd round match 3-0, easy
i'll aye for group vibes
My proposal this week comes from Homer City, Tx., so bear that in mind when voting.
Give me the Texas McConaughey Longhorns to beat the Georgia PuppyDawgs in the SEC championship game. Texas coming off the high off spanking A&M's bare bottoms last week plus the thirst for revenge of their only loss this season equals an ass kicking in the making.
OKC are now 4.5 (7/2) after last nights win so we got a bit of value at least
We need more proposals for a vote, open to everyone now
For whatever reason, Will Hill Nevada isn’t listing this weekend’s EPL bets yet. But, I’m eyeing down the City/Palace match for some possible bets. I’m not liking the NFL stuff I see
Aight. This one is for Monday between West Ham and Wolves. Both team can score against crap teams and both sides give up goals. On ESPNBet the over 3.5 goals is +140 and that will be my proposal
Our boy takes a third round match against Jarno Bottenberg today, 365 currently has him at 4/11 fave. They're on last, scheduled to be about 7 hours from this post, and live streamed on youtube.
I'll propose Luke Littler to finish in top 3 of BBC Sports Personality of the Year @ 4/6
Keely Hodgkinson is the clear odds on fav to win it but Luke is 11/4 2nd favourite and everyone else is 28/1+ so he should surely finish in the top 3, 4/6 seems good value
