I have an idea to add some fun to the WPL that will only be open to people who are not members of an WPL team so they too can get some enjoyment out of it and potentially a fee membership.
I will donate a free 12 month gift membership to the people who finish 1st,2nd and 3rd in my little betting competition.
The basic idea is that I will be the bookmaker/betting shop and each week I will post odds on the current competitions. Everyone who registers with me will be given a virtual $100.00 opening balance with my betting agency and will be required to bet on teams of their choice each week. The three people who end up with the most virtual money at the end of the WPL will win the memberships.
This is open to anyone who is not in a WPL team and is on a first come first serve basis and will be capped depending on the response.
I have everything ready to go so the response to this thread in the next 24hours will determine if this gets off the ground.
Sounds like a great idea and good onya for donating memberships.
As a particpant in the WPL I appear to be inelligible although as a betting man I'd like to play as well. Even if it means I'm inelligible for any prizes.

That is a great idea sir bazz, might even make it that you can nominate someone to donate it to.

So I guess you'll be betting against your team every week? ;)
Thats great still only have about 5 non WPL members, I would like to have more then that. I think this will have to opened up to all members.
Anyway these are the odds for the first week
Week one
WPL Championship Winner
1 The Magnificent 7 $1.50
2 Team Nikon $1.80
3 Team 20D $2.20
4 Team Smite $2.20
5 Team Pentax $6.00
6 Team FZ $8.00
7 The Untouchables $10.00
8 Team KM $20.00
9 Team Outcast $25.00
10 Team Olympus $30.00
11 Team Rebel $40.00
12 Team Pixelstorm $50.00
We have a few bets rolling in now with some big bets put on Team Nikon to win the tournament (silly Nikon owners) and some money for The Outcasts to win next weeks head to head.
You have till next Sunday to make your selections for the first week. If you want to make a bet just go to the thread where the odds are posted and quote the number on the left of the bet you want and the amount. For example if I wanted to vote team Nikon to win the the tournament that would be…. # 2 for $25.00. That’s all the information you need to PM to me.
The rules are also posted in the thread. Good luck and have some fun.
I have to correct you Larus, Icelanders don't arrive on steamrollers, it's icebreakers, or maybe those two foreigners make the difference. This is going to be fun, þetta verður bráðskemmtilegt og vonandi á góðum nótum út í gegn. Gott að ekki var farið að stressast út í að byrja í dag.
Gangi öllum vel - good luck to all participants.
