Woobia has contacted me with the suggestion that as an alternative to the Calcutta - which now looks unlikely to take place - we have a Forum First Four.
I'm happy to go along with that, but it would need wide support, with monies transferred before Monday night.
The trick is to find a way in which contributors can have a say in the ticket we take.
How about this:
1. We aim to take a single ticket with 8 x 10 x 12 x 14 horses. That would cost about 8000 for $1, but I'm thinking of 10% - or we can go more, depending on level of interest.
2. Share value?? I'd think it's hard to go below $50, otherwise things will get difficult to manage. Thus, the 10% ticket would require at least 16 players @ $50. No problems if players want multiple shares. If we exceed the $800, that's not a problem with flexi-betting.
3. So far as deciding the ticket, shareholders can post on the thread their TWELVE picks in order by NOON Monday. I'll then do some sort of trick to prioritise the numbers by Monday evening.
4. I'd prefer that someone else did the donkey work, but I, being a total sloth, is happy to act as treasurer. But, shareholders must understand that I'll accept the duties on an "all care, no responsibility" basis. Be assured I'll do my best, but my brain is deteriorating.
5. If we go ahead, I'll post evidence that the bet was actually placed.
Please give us your thoughts, with an indication of interest.
THE ABOVE STRATEGY MIGHT BE CHANGED TO A LARGE EXTENT
