Title: Sarsfields World cup sweepstake
Post by: supersarsfields on June 09, 2010, 11:16:45 AM
Right lads for a bit of craic I'm going to run a quick sweepstake for the Gaaboard. No massive prize but I'll throw a £20 in for the winner just to make it a wee bit interesting.

Numbers limited so I suppose the first 32 posters that post on the thread will go in.

Once I get the 32 names I'll print out and do a random draw out of a hat. Then post up the names and countries.

I'll not enter myself just in case of bias.

I'm in, but if I win I don't want the money, you can put it in a poor box or give it to someone collecting for a charity

I hope your not calling into question the independance of this draw RLL. I used all possible methods to ensure a completely random pick. I even used my best bowl to pull the names from!!

Perhaps not but rest assured - should even one of my players as much as break a nail in the World Cup, repercussions against your country will be swift and brutal. You have been warned.

Hoping a few bets will come in to cover the £20. If not, I'll just slip away without paying and come back under a new name.
