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.

All in on the Superbowl!
Anyone willing to go through the previous 58 superb owls to find out whether heads or tails has prevailed more often?
Over 58 SBs there have been 28 Heads and 30 tails.
The AFC has won the last 4 calls (H, H, T, H) and the last SB held in NO (SB 47) was Heads.
NFC to win the toss with Tails is the play imo
Tails never fails
Spoiler
Except, you know, 28 times
Whatever side you guys decide I'll bet the other side on my own.
I lose every year
Anything to help bc my proposals all lost
So what we doing then? I'll put a poll up to see what everyone thinks
I think keep going personally. I do enjoy the sweats every weekend
Since I’m an authority on all things All-in and all things McLovin.
I highly advise AGAINST going all-in.
Looks like keep going is going to win comfortably, no time for a vote for this weekend so if anyone has anything for a EMERGENCY PROPOSAL go ahead
Proposal: Saquon Barkley over rushing prop parlay with 2+ TDs
DK has better price for 2 TDs (+255 vs FD +200) but higher line by two yards at 127.5 (FD o125.5).
Parlay o127.5 and 2+ TDs is +375 on DK.
- Each game vs Washington this season he had two TDs (with 146 and 150 rushing yards)
- Hurts is clearly less than 100% so they could lean more on Saquon.
- Commanders get gashed thru the ground.
- And wind gusts are projected to be up to 33mph on Sunday in Philly which projects more of a running game script.
- Finally, Saquon has the ability to break one for a TD at any point.
McMuffin: AYE!
AYE!

Even though I want Commies to win, they can win 35-34 or something
Aye!

I have a proposal
Since we've had some love for longshots lately
I propose a small wager on Dalton Kincaid 1st TD in the Bills game at +2200 on Draft Kings
this is a bad line, it's a bit higher than market (circa has 1600) and he gets a decent chunk of redzone targets
it's a long shot for sure, but i think he gets this closer to once every 10-13 games rather than every 20ish DK prices him at and it's unlikely to still be +2200 on gameday given that anyone betting this will be taking their business to dk
if none of the escrowees have DK then there's a good chance i'll be at a dk kiosk in person (i'll be getting it for myself anyway) and could grab some (but that is far from a sure thing as it's an hour away so would need other reasons to make the drive)
I'm aye to both
