This thread is gonna be flaming well before Sunday morning. It's been up only about 4 hours, but already has 8000+ views. That's even faster than the Shana Playboy pics thread.

If I can pick the top 500 players, I'll happily give you even money about the field.
That being said, I'd want to research the top 500 properly.

I think the favorite should be around 500-1 in this field.

Betfair is indeed an exchange.

Edit: Please don't take the fact that I would give the bet to mean I currently will.
An actual list of the best 500 would take me a very long time to compile.

While this sounds right, amateurs have won the last 3, and 4 of the last 5,(considering furlong an amateur, not positive)

Back 5 years ago, the field was pro-heavy, now it's fish-heavy. I don't know that that makes it more likely, but I'd book this bet for you, should you care to.

The difference is that now the old 500 runner field would (with some obvious exceptions and probably a handful of non obvious ones) be the new best 500, with the next 6100 being comprised mainly of idiots.

I may try to compile a list and have a smallish ($100 or so) bet, but compiling 500 names in a reasonable manner so there is no aftertiming ("Oh yes, I've heard of him, of course I win") is going to be messy without doing it properly (Which would be crazily time consuming).

I may try to devise some system that picks the 500 names (Anyone who has previously cashed this year, or whatever), and if anyone can think of something reasonably fair I'd be interested to hear it.

I bet on the under for Sunday. I didn't specify an amount nor did anyone accept, but I want $200 too.

A post with 47 replies gets over 10,000 views in under a day... incredible. From now on, I'm putting the word Gigabet in the title of everyone of my posts, even the ones in the sports forum.

As usual you are correct, sir! And it's only Friday night.

Since I am the "thread killer" (anytime I post there are none after), my guess is it will die now. However, can't take action on that even if random player has $25.

Happy days! Sllllaaacker
