I really don't like the Colombia bet if they go into that game with 6 points.
Besides, winning group B probably gets you a harder match up (vs 2nd of C) than getting second (vs 2nd of A).
Even though I don't think they will lose on purpose, I don't think they will have much reason to try very hard.

I understand the investment prospectus will be updated to more accurately set forth the scientifically deduced and statistically verified Butthurt metrics, as set forth here:

EDIT: Investment opportunities have been carefully considered, and buttons have been expertly clicked.

i really fancy this venezuela Investment, was thinking about proposing something anti-brazil because

A) old people have all the money
B) they are stuck in their ways, therefore
C) they still think brazil is the best team in the world despite being them being a disgrace for a long time and having a star player who is a fanny and not even there, and so
D) they use their money to place unsound Investments on brazil thereby artificially skewing der markt

sadly its not garnering many votes at this time

Venezuela is my 4th favourite Investment, but I believe we were never getting to the end of the voting in time for the game.

I believe Colombia over Paraguay to be the investment opportunity most closely resembling FREE POUNDS

Clicked some buttons.

I wish we could introduce an option to lay a bet if enough members think that it's an awful idea (Chelsea bet obv).

A+ Report

Have clicked some buttons and will be firing on Fremantle (yep, one e) regardless.

Their team song leaves a bit to be desired, but I am sure we are going to be belting it out loud and proud after a victory (Fremantle are actually my teams biggest rival both being in the same city, but eh, they are kind of a Manchester City pre oil money to West Coasts United)

Lyrics for those playing along for the first time

Quote:

Freo way to go
Hit ‘em real hard send ‘em down below
Oh Freo give ‘em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers
Freo way to go
Hit ‘em real hard send ‘em down below
Oh Freo give ‘em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers
We’re the rollers
We’re the rockers We’re the mighty Freo Dockers
We’re gonna roll ‘em and we’ll rock ‘em
We’re gonna send ‘em to the bottom
And if they get up, we’ll do it again
The Dockers stop at nothing – nothing
Freo way to go
Hit ‘em real hard send ‘em down below
Oh Freo give ‘em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers
Freo way to go
Hit ‘em real hard send ‘em down below
Oh Freo give ‘em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers

Theme song is glorious.

I already voted for them but that gave me more confidence that they are the perfect investment

Fwiw in the future if others want my vote theme songs and other such gimickery will definitly help

this is a very good thought

if the Investment Selection process separates the very excellent Investment Opportunities from the very poor ones indeed (it does), and if we have the ability to make contra-Investments (we do), why not extract maximum value by laying the lowest vote-gaining Proposal?

we'll look into doing something about this for next week
