Ok a chance to bag yourself some cash or make some for the Red Army Fund:

  • Start with a £10 pot.
  • Log in to your favourite betting website.
  • Stick as much or as little money from your pot on an opposition win. This is important, you cannot bet on Swindon to draw or win.
  • Repeat for every game until the end of the season or until your money dries up.
  • If we go down and there is still some money left in your pot donate it all to the Red Army Fund.
  • If we stay up use the money for an adventurous piss up (or whatever you desire)

This will evidently be more fun cliquey if we make it a competition. I'll be happy to collate the results into a table if people report in the same thread how much they betted and at what odds and what their pot stands at. Not sure on a prize for the winner. Maybe I could employ fB with some pintage to make the winner a flamatar.

Anyone interested?

We can only bet on us losing? Sounds like a good plan, I'll do it.

I suggest we should all use Betfair in order to cheer up our board as well.

Yeah good point Smiley

I tend to use betfair because the odds are so much better, although you have to account for the commission.

If anyone wants some magic free betting goodness there's a referral code in my signature. You get a £25 free bet if you lose your first one and then if you stake so much (think it's £100) you get £20 and so do I. These bonuses then continue every quarter so if you know someone with a referral code or want to use mine it's worth doing.

Anyway that's 5 people who are doing this so far. If anymore wish to join before the game on Tuesday or thereafter that's great.

But seeing as we have 5 so far I think that's enough to say game on!

Given Wilson's use of the loan market the RAF could be more useful in the future too. Any more takers?

When we were relegated previously betting against us was my one bit of solice - if we won I could take the £10 loss, if we lost I had enough winnings to go drown my sorrow and if we drew it was a dull day...  thank god I haven't taken this route this season... although now it is looking like I may well be drawn back into the zone...

I'm not betting on the Colchester game as I think we'll not lose (contrary to my earlier post about betting against every time - it's just got interesting)

Therefore I still have £10

OK, ive started. I put £1 on a Colchester win using William Hill  8/11 (already have an account)

This will get me a whopping £1.73 return

I am expecting an email from WH soon slating me for making such a wanky bet but all in the name of fun and all that Smiley
