Bowls R Us and we continue to support the search for a cure for cancer.
This is to announce the game is on for another season.
You can donate a minimum of $10 to the cause.
OR - You can donate and play 'Pick The Provincial Winners , The Big Three'. It involves predicting the 2 Ontario qualifiers in Fours, Pairs and Singles. Details below.
When you donate a minimum of $10 to the Cancer Society the real cash goes to charity but you end up with #10,000 'bob'.
It is your stake for some fun wagering. Just pick the teams, assign how much you are wagering and voila, a genius is discovered.
By the way the Fours Ratings to June 7th are posted on the blog. Study the teams and the odds and make your selections.
You just send me your pick(s) and I will post and send you a copy.
You just send me your pick(s) and I will post and send you a copy.
Here is what will happen to your donation this year:
1.You donate and request a receipt ( I will do the paperwork).2.You donate and you don't want a receipt. This group then have the option to be in on a group purchase of tickets supporting the Annual Cancer Society Lottery.
All prizes are converted to cash and divided equally after prorating your contribution. For prizes that can't be converted we will have our own draw to determine the winner. One share ( BOB) for each $10 donation.
3.You donate , don't want a receipt but prefer not to be involved in the lottery.
If you are up to it and want to match wits with worldly wisdom, here is your opportunity.
This is similar information but in more detail.
THE CHALLENGE: Have the biggest deposit in the BOB ( Bank of Bob ) when the Big Three {Fours, Pairs, Singles } 2010 Provincial Championships are completed.
THE COST: Ten dollar $10.00 entry fee but you can donate any amount you wish. All fees ( no administrative expenses, no cash to winners) will be donated to the CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY. Receipts will be issued by the Canadian Cancer Society if requested.I will tabulate and submit at the end of the Challenge and make the request for you.
ENTRY: Submit your name to me at any time but preferably before the Fours ( June 11, 2011) so you can participate in the 3 events. You can pledge your entry fee by email and then either wait to catch up with me somewhere in Ontario this summer or we will make individual arrangements. Multiple entries are accepted.You can be identified by your name, a team name or a numbered account ( a modern game ).
THE TASK: You will have $10,000 bob credited to your newly opened account for every $10 donated on entry. Your mission, "should you choose to accept it ...", will be to parlay that amount into a substantial profit. The method of your madness is to wager any amount of your dollars( minimum bet of $1000 ) on the upcoming BIG THREE Provincial Championships. This isn't the easy win, place, show as at the races but rather you have to pick the winners of the event. But to make it a cinch to be successful you win if your selections qualify for the Canadians ( 1st or 2nd ). If you lose all your money, game over and placed on the bankrupt list. Despite baseball's Pete Rose rule you can, are even encouraged, to bet on your own team.
THE ODDS: You have and are creating them as we speak by submitting your ranking predictions. They are ever changing so you can submit your 'bet' when you judge the odds are best for your maximum return.
PAYOUT: the Parimutuel system will be used but with no 14.25% commission deducted before the winning distribution. Wikipedia has a clear explanation of the calculations but, of course, I don't understand them so I do whatever I want.
PRIZES: The enjoyment of the camaraderie and the satisfaction of doing something for others without credit.
