Title: Grand National Sweepstake 2011
Post by: nosey-p on April 03, 2011, 19:28:24 PM: Grand National Sweepstake 2011

It's that time of the year when we all get our magic pins out and all the women pick names they like or the colours. Yes its Grand National time as in previous years I'm doing the APAT sweepstake. This year APAT have given 8 prizes.

1st place = 5 Bunch of Fives Entries
2nd place = 3 Bunch of Fives Entries
3rd place = 2 Bunch of Fives Entries
4th place = 1 Bunch of Fives Entry
5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th place = entry into the $1000 freeroll.

Last year ForthThistle won on Don't Push It @ 10/1 but did not put any money on it. The year before Bodddders won with Mon Mome @ 100/1 but did not put any money on it. Will you be the one not to back your selection this year?

Why not take advantage of the $1000 freeroll. Place a $10 bet or more with 888 and be entered into a $1000 freeroll on the 14th of April.

It will be on a first come first serve basis. The first 40 to post there 888 poker alias, will get a selection. The draw will be made on Friday (By my boss) giving you all plenty of time to get your bets on.

Rules

You must have been an APAT member before today
You must have an 888 poker account
If anybody wins the freeroll tickets who have already qualified, then the next place finisher will get the ticket
If you get a non runner then you will get a reserve horse. If they are more than one then it will be done in numerical order
