Welcome to the now annual FMS Awards betting. As per usual, each person who wants to take part has £100 to bet with. Unlike last year, there is no first round with which to build up (or blow) your stake, because we didn't really have a proper one. You can bet anyway you like, either blow all your £100 on Raptor to win FMSer of the Year, or you could attempt to pick the winners in all 17 caterogories and place a 17 bet accumulator - its up to you! You can either bet by emailing me, or by placing your bet in this thread. If you have any queries, don't hesitate to ask. Don't expect an answer though :p
