    why do it then, would it not be simpler for ONLY the winner to choose the charity. (or ask for suggestions).
    Yes, I think this would be easier, and would save filling the thread with more lists :)

    That new pic David. has is the horse he has [STRIKE]been given[/STRIKE] picked at random this year :D

    I have added Mad at no. 40, if no one has any objections.:):)

    Fantastic idea and if my horse wins I would like to nominate his cancer charity as my choice.

    My multiple each way bets are placed now. I feel like a proper gambler today :rotfl:

    I did not post this earlier as I did not want to be seen encouraging gambling.

    I put money into my CORAL account with a 3V card I won a few quid and withdrew it onto my normal card (if set up).
    so may be worth a try if you are betting anyway.
    today I put an odd £6.15 I had left on one and made a few bets.

    The Grand National Sweepstake
    s9621.gif

    £2 a number, each number relates to a horse randomly selected by FC.
    Put your name next to the number you want, then re-post.
    Once (if) the list is full, just start another list.
    Horses will be revealed just before the Grand National starts.
    The owner of the winning horse in each list chooses a charity from Justgiving or Virginmoneygiving, then I will set up a charity page and people pay for their horse to the chosen charity.
    s9060.gif

    This is totally random, and the only winners are the chosen charities, no matter what David. says :D
    It was great fun last year, and raised over £300 for two great charities.
    If 2 people post at the same time, it is the first one to post that gets that number.
    It is all bound to go tits up with the list, so try to remember, its just for fun!!

    Not sure because there was only one left on the shelf, I thought you had to buy in 3's

    if anyone has bought only one, it would be nice to know if it compares £4-£2 maybe only the multi has been stopped.
