Scottish Independance sweepstake

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2014 15:46

Okay, so you send £1 using the donate link at the bottom of the page*, and then post what percentage you think the 'yes' vote will be.

Whole numbers only, winner gets the pot. If it's a tie, we'll split the pot. One turn per person for now. I'll keep track of the guesses in the next post.

*Text reads "Want to help out with the hosting / advertising costs? That's very nice of you."

Really I should bet £600 on this, because apparently that's at least how much better off I'll be in the event of a Yes vote, so I'm currently living in a dizzying no-lose scenario here. Mmmhmm.

I think quite a few will see their arses 38%.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

39%. Yep.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22392

I'm legally obliged to choose 50%, so I guess i'll take that!

Jeez, it's like you expect us to pay for this shit, or something.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2014 16:27

As per what's written on the donation page I'm not going to say anything, but :DD

Someone will know why I've done that

[edit]I'm actually surprised you're the first.

How do you know about Heinrich Bourbon?

myp · **Posted:** Thu Sep 04, 2014 11:06

It's actually Count Colin Custard-Cream III.

Cavey's not send the £1. Should I trust him to do it when he's not in nice Nice, Beexers?

He can give it to youa t the cottage. If he can get to Nice, he can get to Derby, AMIRITE?

Mate, if I turned up at the cottage, they'd be forming an orderly queue to beat me up.

Why not, when it worked so well for the wrestling sweepstake?

Eh? Seriously I paid up on both occasions mate? (Double the first time, as I was late). Ask TheVision.

Yeah but to be serious, I don't want people like Grim... thinking I haven't paid for stuff I've promised. Categorically, this is not the case and has never been the case, not once.

Heh, it was other people on the wrestling one. I think I took months to pay as I kept forgetting!

Don't worry, nobody is taking this seriously.

Except for 45% of the Scottish electorate.

I know mate, but I don't want to read that I haven't paid for stuff. Grim... and Myp are out of order.
