We went for the ‘pay us £2 and we’ll put your name in a hat’ then drew out names and teams to prevent the issue of having half a dozen shite teams left at the end.
Our sweep was £2 a team, picked a piece of paper with a number on it – teams given a number beforehand and sealed in an envelope so no one knew what countries had gone.
31 teams only to be picked – last slot goes to charity.
I don’t follow football in any way at all, which really pi55ed off everyone when I got Brazil 😀
Our area manager ran ous there is too many of us to do the world cup so we started along time ago with qualifiers (I know) I drew wales it was £2 in. and the jack pot is Massive
She could simply gather all her stuff up, put it in a cardboard box and shuffle off whilst you smash up her desk and put a half finished stadium in its place…that would do it
One chap put £10 in and picked out two crap teams, then was back 5 minutes later, another £5 another crap team, this was repeated two more times. He’s now £25 down and stands no chance of getting his money back.
A nice simple sweepstake, that’d be good, we’ve got some weird complex thing going on with score predictions and all sorts of ‘proper fan’ type shenanigans!
