Fat & Blokes Pubbington Capital LLP aka SPECIAL SE SYNDICATE - Page 17 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Maybe the OP should have the groups edited in.

I'd be intrigued on seeing this cricket business in action. Is this probably the biggest cricket event of the year?

Big fan of FREMANTLE and U.S. LADIES.

Lifelong fan of FREMANTLE tbh, should've suggested that investment myself.

As an upsidedown land person i concur on Fremantle and would also include betting Essendon at $3.50ish to cover vs WCE as WCE never beat them regardless how each team is going and our defence is stuffed without Barrass.

Alternatively can bet for Ess to cover the spread which will probably be around 15 points.

Poms vs Convicts full length cricket at the end of the year though.

Not in favour of US ladies this time around. Are they not going to rest everyone?

How many proposals does each Partner get to vote for? At the moment, my top 3 would be (in no particular order):

England Cricket
Chelsea
Fremantle

Mostly because I don't have any interest in some of the others, and the prospect of investing with the intention of returning pennies on the pound in something I don't understand does little to change that. For me to vote for esports or similar investments will require someone to stick their neck out with a bold investment proposal that makes a strong case for why at the same time

BOIDS, let's get this vote up and running

I'll get an investment Proposal going as well:

U21 European Championship
Investment: Italy to win
Odds on InvestmentFair: 3.75
Mid term investment - Tournament ends July 2nd.

Very Scientific Analysis:
1 - Tournament is In Italy, so this is like a 50% Edge on everyone, as you are all very aware.
2 - They just trashed Spain (market is obviously not overreacting to this).
3 - Lol France
4 - Some of you will doubt this because of some Brave English Young Lads, but will soon get on board after today's game vs Lol France (see point 3).
5 - Look at this beautiful hair:

I reckon that one will be tough to push through for baids because of FOADS.

I understand that and it's true that the England Squad is stacked.
However, their poor showing today vs France will move the needle just enough for people to vote for this very good investment.

We should also notice that if France or England show a significant edge on one another, the Odds will probably increase a bit, making it an even more profitable Investment.

NOTE: Obviously I'm mostly joking, but I believe this is the correct Investment and I would still back Italy even if England shows up today.

The Ashes more important to me to be fair, but most people (especially all non-Brits/Aussies) would say the WC.

They rested 7 or 8 players vs Chile. I'm also not in favor though because tanking to get a more favorable draw to face France in the finals instead of the quarters is a possibility

I agree, but I find it difficult to get the partners on board with a sporting contest that is best of 5 games with each game taking (checks notes) 30 hours of play and 5 days to resolve.

Burning these heathens at the stake is the traditional method for dealing with such ignorance.

with this mentality I'm guessing you are a fan of the US Men's National Team but this is not how CHAMPIONS think

I agree they won't but with this being a discussion of investments I felt the other Fats & Blokes should know there was a small % chance of some skullduggery
