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.
I propose we put a small amount (1-2%?) on the outcome of the world series in baseball. It's a major event and this whole endeavor is not about only edge-hunting, but entertainment.
I don't really know enough to say it should go one way or another. Current odds I'm seeing are NY Yankees +110 LA Dodgers -130. Let's decide which side we take by voting. Wisdom of this crowd to carry the day. First game is on Friday evening. If the votes through Friday morning are too close (up to the commish to decide), let's call it off.
My vote is for the Yankees. They are deeper, if any of the Dodgers' top 3 players have an off series, LAD are cooked. -130 is a bit steep imo, I think it's a more even series than that talent-wise.
AYE to the Yankees, i'm a simple guy I like Jomboy so I like Yankees
i like thread having a piece on one of the ws outcomes
AYE to the Yankees. Soto gonna stay hot
I can’t bring myself to ever root for the Yankees, but I certainly won’t stand in the way of this happening
Aye to Yankees
It looks like I’m region blocked from the Betfair exchanges. US posters, what is/are the best sites to use for proposals? Thanks in advance!
AYE Yankees, but im betting more with my heart than my brain maybe.... but with stanton playing this well, with soto and judge.. they're just FIERCE
I can’t bring myself to ever root for the Yankees, but I certainly won’t stand in the way of this happening
Same. The only way I'm ever rooting for the Yankees is if they somehow are playing the hated Philadelphia Eagles, and I'd have to think about it then, might be rooting for the Eagles in that matchup.
I'm traveling all day but will try to get something proposed this evening when I get settled in.
Yankees sounds like a proper syndicate wager
My proposal:
Raul Jimenez to score anytime against Everton this weekend at +260 on Will Hill Nevada.
Simply put, Everton are **** and Fulham are more than capable of scoring 2ish goals against Everton.
I know it's group A proposals but I think as an international syndicate we need to parlay some handegg and footy
Detroit Lions to win the Superb Owl parlayed with
THE Aston Lions to win the Champions League
parlay a few quid on yankees/detroit lions to title
Not my turn to propose either, but if we want to get in on the election (likely for Trump) we need to do it sooner rather than later as the odds are only likely to get longer as more early voting data rolls in.
The case at this point is essentially this: if you believe the early voting data, Trump is winning and we should know shortly after polls close. If you think there's a ton of Republican cross over (unlikely imo), Harris is massive value.
Proposals were supposed to close for the vote a few hours ago but we haven't got enough so if anyone else from the other groups want to propose something go ahead, will give it another 24 hours from now
So far we have:
Either Yankees/Dodgers to win WS (5-0 yankees atm)
Raul Jiminez to score anytime v Everton
Yankees/Lions parlay
I know it's group A proposals but I think as an international syndicate we need to parlay some handegg and footy
Detroit Lions to win the Superb Owl parlayed with
THE Aston Lions to win the Champions League
AYE
I'll propose Chelsea to win the UEFA Conference League @ 11/8
Just look at the **** teams that are in it, other than maybe Betis (who have made a pretty average start to the season) and Fiorentina (finalists last 2 seasons and made a decent start in Serie A this season) there is nobody that should pose a challenge to Chelsea winning the whole thing.
They're 1/2 just to make the final and i'd expect them to make the final with their B team, it's still a European trophy so i'd expect them to play their best 11 in the final anyway.
stick it in the S&P500 and you'll make more money by May than any EV on them winning the bet
Vote now!
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/46/sp...
Pick between 2.5% or 5% for the Yankees and pick 1 from the other 3 options, one with the most votes will have 5% on
We also have 4 AYES for Lions/Lions parlay, 4 more needed
It's 240/1 folks, big bucks to be won for just 1% of the fund!
