A few friends (including Mike, Slim and Iain from on here) battle against each other in a betting competition, using real money and with a nice prize and much kudos at stake. Each league lasts about 13 weeks and it's interesting watching each person's gambling style. Some like to back just favourites, some only like long-shots; some bet carefully, ekeing out their money, and some go gung-ho, shoving their money "all-in" at the slightest opportunity. Some like to come up with complicated accumulators and some just put a fiver down on pretty much the same bet each week.
The rules are quite clever in that they seem to reward skill and luck equally, and there's a nice mix of being pleased when people do well and schadenfreude when they crash and burn.
Oh, did I mention I just leapt from last place to first with one week to go...
