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'.
![](https://i.imgur.com/AvQpb6F.jpg)
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.

Vote is up!
Can someone put £10.50 on the NASCAR thingy, I can only find top 3 here not top 5
It's a tie for 2nd between Liverpool and Barkley/Hunt so i'll put 2.5% (£5.25) on both
Also i'll get 1 $25 square as well, i'll get the 2x$10 ones for myself so if they end up winning money blame the guys who voted for the $25 one :p
Of course Liverpool score exactly 2 goals
Spoiler
Also the 2 horses both won

We already owe C Bids some cash from the Saquon debacle, so maybe he can place it? I think it was his proposal too.
I messaged C Bids
I will bet it. Race isn't until tomorrow
Also there's a 99% chance I misread and the +375 was his top 3 odds not top 5
I'll bet his top 5 at +200 and top 3 at 375 at my own expense for such a dumb mistake.
Unless people don't want to bet it and invest elsewhere?
Eta: I'm still betting the top 3 for the Fats
My proposal is
Majborough to win the Irish Arkle and Galopin Des Champs to win Irish Gold Cup @ 6/4 ish
Both are around 4/7 to win, I say we put them in a double
Spoiler
This is horse racing btw, it's the Dublin Festival at Punchestown this weekend
Arkle at 2.55pm, Gold Cup 3.30pm both on Saturday.
Nice picks

If we can't get what was voted on, then I'd say skip it. Maybe post it as an Emergency Proposal looking for 8 AYES.
Well he has finished in top 3 in the past 3 years so i'm AYE to top 3
aye
aye
I know zero about NASCAR, but I’m here for the Gamboooooolll. So, AYE
do we need an aye? i'll aye.
7 AYEs if we include C Bids, 1 more needed
Aye
Wahey, C Bids can place it now 👍
That's funny. It's a guaranteed winner now though, lol.
This race is gonna have a ton of people getting spun out and wrecked. If we can avoid any major damage we have a shot.
Dumped on lap 20. Not good. This was still a freebie bc I messed up the top 3/5
Alright we go again, proposals for this weekend gogogogogo
Anytime td scorer: parlay Barkley/Hurts/Kelce
