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.

The crap Chris Wood was back today, sorry.
:(
Didn't somebody say this was supposed to be fun? Wtf?
lol, we really suck at this now
aaaaaand Humphries just lost again so he can't finish top of his group
lol us
oh no
Lol has anyone picked a winner yet
We've had 1 winner out of 8, cokeboy's Love over 1.5 passing TDs a few weeks back, we suck so bad 😊
Anyway it's a brand new week so time for new proposals from Group A!
Current bankroll: £290.67
Total loss: £86.40
Lack of proposals is the problem, last time we were getting 8-10 to vote on. Get proposing!

can we get a repost of who the groups were - i've been on the road and haven't been keeping up
I have a sharp as **** chess wager.
World Chess Championship.
Gukesh vs Ding
Gukesh is 3-1 favorite.
Ding has been in a total funk.
Gukesh is 2783 ELO
Ding 2728 ELO
A top GM Giri has reported that Gukesh has been training diligently 10 hours a day for the match.
I'll propose Lions to score over 39.5 points vs Jags @ 4/1
The roaring Lions should destroy the Jags, 4/1 seems decent odds for them to score 40+ points which they have done already against the Titans, Cowboys and Seahawks
We can also place a £1 bet as part of the same investment on All-inMcLovin's correct score prediction in the NFL thread of Lions 42-10 Jags @ 250/1 because why the hell not 😃
Get your proposals in come on! San Marino are playing Gibraltar this weekend why is no-one checking that game for potential winning investments?!
We need to get some wins under our collective belt. To restore troop morale and generate #momentum. Thus I'm proposing [strike]England over Greece...lol, no[/strike] Germany over Bosnia. Odds may be shitty, but Germany will surely beat Bosnia.
I really think we should allocate 5% on Gukesh to defeat Ding Liren in the Chess World Championship.

Ding Admits Fears Ahead Of Gukesh Match: 'I Am Worried About Losing Very Badly'
The world champion dismissed the suggestion that the pressure of the title was hurting him but then pointed out that he now has a streak of 28 classical games without winning once. In fact, his last win came against GM Max Warmerdam in the 12th round of the 2024 Tata Steel Chess.
Scotland-Croatia away win @2.10ish.
Not a surefire hit as Scotland can defend at home, but that is about the only international aids game that has decent odds.
Having some money on it will make watching the old man Tyson get the **** kicked out of him worth watching, I guess. I propose we take Jake Paul to win the fight. If we want to have a chance to keep our losing streak alive we can make it by knockout, for the better odds. I don't think we should have both in the poll though, splitting votes. You pick one POG.
I will propose that Austria vs Kazakhstan has a total match goals of 3. It’s +280 on William Hill and goals will almost definitely happen in that match. Hopefully this can get us on a winning track!
We've got 6 proposals, i'll put the vote up soon since the Austria game is a 3pm KO tomorrow
Vote is up!
5% on Detroit Lions
3% on chess
Will put them on tomorrow
Gukesh!!!!!!!!!
LFG!
