Royal Rumble 2013 Sweepstake

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Jan 23, 2013 18:01

The Royal Rumble is this weekend!

Who wants in on the sweepstake?

Like last year, I'll be selling numbers at random which will relate to the wrestlers entry in the rumble. (i.e. Number 1 will relate to the first wrestler in the rumble, number 2 will relate to the second and so on)

Since the wrestlers aren't normally announced until the night of the Rumble, this will make it fair and square and make sure everyone gets their money's worth.

They'll cost you £2 each and the person who has the winning wrestler will take all the cash!

Let me know if you're in and I'll PM my Paypal details.

That's the beauty of the number system... Roll up, Roll up.. All are welcome at TheVisions super sweepstake! Someone HAS to win!

I'm in. Although to keep my non-gambling thing up, if I win, it can go to the server fund.

Is someone uploading it this year? It was mighty appreciated last year.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Jan 23, 2013 20:58

That was me, I'd imagine. I'll do it again, sure.

throughsilver · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 6197

Yes, it was you, but I didn't want to put any pressure on.

You're a gent.

Me please! Seeing as I've taken a day off work so I can stay up until stupid o'clock and watch it, it would be daft not to, really.

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2013 0:18

That's 11 so far with a massive, big money jack pot of £22! :blown:

Anybody else interested?

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 11:48

I've got 13 names so far.. Just a couple more and I'll close this off meaning that everyone will have two chances of winning the £30 jackpot.

Cavey · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:00

If there are no other takers, I don't mind buying an extra two "tickets" for a total bet of £6, as long as that's okay with you and everyone else mate, if you want.

High roller!

(If I win, I'll donate the dosh to Grim...'s forum pot anyway lol)

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:09

I have no objections to you doing that but if anyone else wants to play, I'll let them join and use you as a last resort... Which I mean in the nicest possible sense of course!

I only need one more name to make it two wrestlers each. I'll be drawing this today so if no one else wants a go, I'll give Lord Raiden the 2 extra names.

Plissken · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2013 12:10

Will this be made available for viewing by a Beexer?

That's the final name in then. I'll do the draw this afternoon and get everyone my PayPal address to send their 2 quid across.

Good luck everyone!

You're very quick! I'm surprised I only made one mistake as I'm doing this on my iPad and its a right chore to copy and paste 30 names and 30 numbers, 30 times.

Anyway.. No problem, I enjoy doing it.

If you drew a number between 10 and 20: Bad luck.

Thanks.

Number 30 has won it twice. In 2007 and 2008 I think. It took nearly 20 years for it first to win. No 1 and no 2 have won it twice each, so its not a particularly good number.

The only way I see 30 winning is a surprise 'Taker return, setting up Streak vs Title at Wrestlemania.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2013 23:50

Or if it is Cena again.

Setting up a Cena win, again.

Dolph will be the workhorse this year. I almost guarantee he's the longest in the Rumble.
