Place Bets!!!!
 

OK Mez, as promised!

In order to add interest to the life in Mez's fishtank and to raise some money for Accyweb's server bills I am running book on how long before Mez kills one!

So it will work like this.

50p buys you a particular day starting 1st Feb(if one dies before that then that one won't count). Only 1 person can reserve each day and I will take bets up to 31st Jan next year so a possible 365 days. The winner will get half of whatever the pot is at that point. The rest goes to Roy. If Mez by some wonder of nature manges to keep them the whole year with no casualties then the whole pot goes to Roy with a packet of fish food as a prize for Mez.
Money can be 'pledged' via PM and will be collected physically at Accyweb meets or can be sent to me at home(PM for address).

So place your bets!

PS, Mez, you're obviously excluded so there can be no involuntary ethuanasia!

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

:) This is absolutely disgraceful and I’m totally shocked……….10th & 13th February Please. :D

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

I agree with Doug this is absolutely disgraceful

.............. but go on i'll have 18th February and 30th March

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

I think we need a Sticky..............:) just to keep it up.:p

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

All right, I'm going to be optimistic and have 18th August and 9th October. I have faith in you Mez!

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

I have to agree that betting in any way, shape or form is disgusting..........so you can put me down for 1st March and 14th July..:D

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

I'll have 19th March & a long shot 21st November please
Hope we lose Mez :)

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

This thread is sick !!!!! wishing on fish to die !!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

p.s. ill have 4th and 9th July please ! :p :D :p

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

OK, good so far,

BTW, I was thinking whilst walking to the meet. Time of death will be certified as the time of discovery. i.e. Mez may go to bed at 9 (Yeh, right!) and little Bert may croak at 10 or it could be 1am. we wouldn't know exactly what day he died. So it is time(day) of discovery that counts.

Ian, PS, I'm down for 21st April and 29th May :)

The spreadsheet will be posted later today.

Re: Place Bets!!!!

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Before I place my bet I would like to know if these fish have made a living will or should that be gill!!, and do they have a DNR (do not resuscitate) order stuck on their tank? If yes on both accounts you can count me out!!!

Re: Place Bets!!!!

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Oi!, I'm blooming trying to get online and you keep booting me out!,

Gerrooff my MSN! :)


I will be popping in soon to remove all my details!

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

I almost fell of my chair laughing at the thought of you leaving your MSN details on someones else's PC. It's a good job your not employed in IT security ;)

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

It was sodding Windows that 'associated' my details with Staggers logon without asking. It tries to be helpful but ends up in a BIG security hole as usual.

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

You shower of sad people what the hell will you think of next you should be ashamed of yourselves.POOR FISH.........March 11th and 19th please.

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Right all that placed bets, please PM me with how you wish to cough up! I'll collate the cash and contact Roy as to how he wants it.

As said, cash at the next meet will be good, or drop a coin in an envelope to my home(address via PM)

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Will hand over at the next meeting - when is it?

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Usually last Sat in the month. I'm sure there will be an announcement soon.

I've had a suggestion that we carry on against the othe poor fishes , what do you all want? if you want to carry on I'll accept 20p to continue any previously choosen dates , 50p for any new dates. Let me know what you all want.

Ian

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

I'll keep my previously chosen dates please, and I'll come round with the dosh.

Re: Place Bets!!!!
 

Permission to pass the said £1 owed to Mr Grainda or Ms Harwood on the occasion of the football Match on Saturday…..please.........:)

Sorry you lost one Mez. Hope everyone else stay fit and healthy.....:)

Re: Place Bets!!!!

But Mez had better get reading that 'how to keep fish alive' book.
