2013 Melbourne Cup Sweep

Post by Peter Gleason »

Hi all

So here's the thread for the Annual Melbourne Cup Sweep. The race is not for around 3 weeks, but I thought I'd start it early while I remember and since it usually takes a while for people to sign up.

For those who are not familiar with how a sweep works - basically each person participating will be allocated a horse in the race before the start of the race. If your horse wins/ places in the Melbourne Cup, you get money/ potentially other exciting prizes. There are 24 spots in the sweep and there is a fee of $50k SIM to enter.

All entrance fees will be allocated to the prize pool - I'll chip in $800k SIM to get the total prize pool to $2 million - this will be allocated between 1st/2nd/3rd/last at a later date. If anyone wants to chip in prizes, get in touch with me somehow in the next 3 weeks.

Just put your name in this thread if you want to play and we'll go from there

Cheers guys
