    So right as I'm discussing this over email someone starts one anyway... @porridge, can you add some rules, and I'll mod them into your post. We were discussing an optional entry fee in diamonds, winner takes all, and custom title for the year.

    Put me down for Wounded Warrior.

    And there's a list of runners here for people without a paper handy: Grand National Runners

    It seems you beat me to it. Therefore I shall have Highland Lodge.

    How did you overlook that one?

    Ok, so I am in for 10 diamonds.

    (For overseas visitors, please note sweepstakes are legal in the UK, we're only running it on the Bookangel board, for members, with a fixed entry fee and it makes no profit: Sweepstakes and the law - Sweepstake Kit)

    10 diamonds it is.

    Cause of Causes

    and before it gets taken, I'm fairly certain Bookangel will take Rogue Angel

    We're a group of depraved gamblers, aren't we?:(

    So, to judge from yet another urgent PM this morning, @Tregaron you're in the same pub as porridge right now? Good to know, although you really should stop hanging out with such dubious characters and people of low moral fibre...

    Yeah, could me in for 10 diamonds as well.

    Gambling - well really. Perhaps if I think of it more as a raffle where we can choose our own tickets.

    And seeing as I only have 10 diamonds anyway. it would have to be Saint Are

    I am shocked, shocked, I tell you to find there's gambling going on on this board!

    Rogue Angel - 10 credits.

    Top 4 are:
    1. One For Arthur (14-1)
    2. Cause of Causes (16-1) CatInASuit
    3. Saint Are (25-1) Angel
    4. Blaklion (8-1f)
    We got two in the top 3, better'n my ticket managed. Everyone ready to pony up (apart from me 'cos I'm cheap and sensible!)?

    Hey Admin, how do we pony up?

    I promise I did not use any admin powers to fix the race.

    Come on you lot - cough it up :)

    Well Blast....

    To pay up, mouseover Wallet in the top right until the menu shows, then click on Transfer. Type in CatInASuit in the Name box, 10 in the amount box and whatever message you want to tell him in the Message box, then click Give Credits to give him credits.

    I've paid.

    Paid up. I am very disappointed with Rogue Angel, to take the lead for so long and then have that ending.

    Close - so very close to winning.

    Oh well - it's all in fun.
