30 accumulator on:
- Faramir to get Writer of the Year
- Spav to get Best Newcomer
- Brian (aka 'Brain'  ) of Nazareth to get Funniest Writer
20 on Faramir and BobBev to Win Most Awards (I expect good odds for this, PM  )
20 on Prof Xenon de Villiers to win Best Character
20 on 'The Greatest Player Ever To Fail' to win Best Short Story
10 on PM7 to get no awards at all (I expect very good odds for this one :p )

I'll give you 2/1 for a Faramir/Bobbev tie and 8/11 for PM7 to win no awards. (Its hardly been his most productive year :p)

| 2/1 seems fair enough. 8/11 sounds a bit cowardly to me, but it's your decision
Mark, I expect better from you (though I'll be damned if I know why) | |

I'm not sure it is cowardly tbh, as far as I can see there are only 4-5 people who can seriously be considered as potential award winners - and this year at least, I'm not one of them.
I'd probably give odds over 10/1 for the likes of Bobbev, Faramir, Spav, Flippers and slightly less generous for Terk and BoN.
Even if you put on a double that neither Raptor nor PM7 would win an award - an event that I believe has never happened :o - that would still be at the best evens.

Now, if you wanted to place any such bets on next years awards, I'd be willing to listen | |

I’m absolutely rubbish when it comes to gambling, but I’ll put a couple of bets on anyway.
£20 on BobBev for FMSer of the Year
£20 on BobBev for Writer of the Year
£20 on Leaving the past behind (FM edition) for Best Rest of the World story
£40 on Faramir for Perseverance Award
You may as well pocket my money now, PM7. | |

| Yes, it makes sense when you look at it that way, even though you've been nominated in six categories.
Ok then, put my £10 on both you and Mark getting no awards. Evens seem like decent enough odds.
