[span style="font-size:10pt">G’day TSer’s,

[span style="font-size:10pt">Many of you who have been regulars amongst the few horse racing related
threads will be aware that there has been alot of discussion lately
regarding the formation of a TooSerious Punters Club to further unite
those of us who are fond of having a bit of a punt.
[span style="font-size:10pt">I am pleased to announce now that I have completed my research into
the best way to set up the Punters Club that enables it to operate smoothly
with the least amount of tedious administration as possible.
<!--more-->
[span style="font-size:10pt">Before I get into details regarding the conclusion of this research,
I would like to thank the chief, Walesy, for setting up a dedicated
section in the forum for us punters to go for all our racing/punting
discussions – this will be invaluable for our ever growing band of
followers as we move forward - Cheers chief, I owe you a couple of beers
for doing that for us mate

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold">The Punters Club
[span style="font-size:10pt">My recent research into how we can best set the TooSerious Punters
Club up led me to a quality Australian operated site (actually developed
by a South Oz mob) simply called Punt Club.
[span style="font-size:10pt">This site has taken out all the tedious work of administering and
managing a punters club by automating the time consuming stuff like
collecting everyone’s fees etc, thus enabling everyone involved in
a club to relax and enjoy the important task at hand, winning money
for the club!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt">Visit <a href="http://www.puntclub.com/" target="_blank">[span style="text-decoration:underline">http://www.puntclub.com[/url][span style="font-size:10pt"> to learn more about how this site works.

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold">Questions you may ask about the TooSerious Punters
Club
[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">Where do we go from here???
[span style="font-size:10pt">First off, anyone interested in being involved in the club will need
to do the following
[span style="font-size:10pt">#1 – Register your interest in joining by leaving a comment
below
[span style="font-size:10pt">#2 – Send me a friend request (if we are not already connected
as friends on here)
[span style="font-size:10pt">#3 – As soon as we are connected as friends, PM me with your
email address so I can forward an invitation to join the club through
our official TooSerious Punters Club page on the PuntClub portal
[span style="font-size:10pt">#4 – Respond to the official invitation and register as a member
of our club
[span style="font-size:10pt">Simple as that!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt">It would also help out with the registration process if you already
have an online account with Luxbet as the PuntClub site can automatically
verify your Luxbet account through their automated processes – plus
you will have the added bonus of being able to deposit funds into your
personal Luxbet account and even place your personal bets directly from
the PuntClub dashboard rather than have both sites open in separate
tabs/windows!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt">I have just found out this evening that Luxbet doesn’t have a referral
bonus program due to restrictions on their licence (unlike most other
betting sites), however if you follow this link <a href="http://www.puntersparadise.com.au/betting/luxbet-promo-code/" target="_blank">[span style="text-decoration:underline">http://www.puntersparadise.<WBR>com.au/betting/luxbet-promo-<WBR>code/[/url] [span style="font-size:10pt">you can get
up to $500 in free bets as a sign-up/deposit bonus!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">What will the Punters Club cost???
[span style="font-size:10pt">It is my aim that we keep the club as affordable as possible whilst
still ensuring that enough money is in the clubs kitty to have a real
decent crack at making some decent profits – at present, the
PuntClub portal provides clubs with a variety of options to set their
fees, with the minimum being $25 a month fee for each member – so
I have based the initial club settings at the minimum $25 per month
for each member (this will see a club of 20 people have $500 coming
into the kitty each month – more people involved, more in the kitty).

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">How long will the club run for???
[span style="font-size:10pt">There is no time limit on the life of the club – some people
may drop out but others will join.

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">Can I leave at any time???
[span style="font-size:10pt">Yes, if circumstances change for anyone which necessitates they leave
they can cash out at any time and the automated system of the PuntClub
site will work out that persons dividend!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">How will members know who’s turn it is to select
a bet on the club’s behalf and/or what the selection is???
[span style="font-size:10pt">The best way to answer this is to suggest you visit the PuntClub site
and have a look through their FAQ section – this should answer most
of your questions!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">Will there be any specific rules/restrictions
etc with our club???
[span style="font-size:10pt">It is essential that whoever is interested in joining our club check
out the site, look through the FAQ’s, provide me with their email
address so I can send out an official invitation and sign up to our
club – any specific rules etc particular to our club will be discussed
within our soon to be created Punters Club forum thread – I have come
up with a few thoughts that should be discussed as a group, but that
should be done once people have decided to join.

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">Will the club provide any benefit to the TS site/community???
[span style="font-size:10pt">Yes!!! At present, anyone in the community can freely get some good
tips from the “Racing Tips” forum thread and I cannot see this
changing in the near future – we can also post the Punters Club
selections in that thread or the Punters Club thread if we like, enabling
the TS community to benefit further from any good fortune the club has.
[span style="font-size:10pt">As for the site in general, I feel that it would be a decent gesture
if the club commits to donating a percentage of profits each year to
TS as a thankyou for allowing us to hijack part of the site for our
punting discussions – this % can be determined through discussions
amongst the members of the club.

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">Is the club limited to those interested in horse
racing only???
[span style="font-size:10pt">No. If you want to place a bet on any other form of racing or even
sports betting markets when it is your turn to bet you are free to do
so – the only thing to bear in mind is that the aim of every
member in the club is to try their hardest at making some sort of profit
from their selection when it is their turn to pick – the onus
is on all of us within the club to try our best to make the club’s
kitty grow so we can all benefit in the long run!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">Are there any limitations on who can join the
club???
[span style="font-size:10pt">There are a few requirements for anyone who wants to join the Punters
Club.
[span style="font-size:10pt">#1 – Must be 18 or over!!!
[span style="font-size:10pt">#2 – Must be able to satisfy the ID requirements of setting
up an online betting account to satisfy the registration requirements
of the PuntClub site.
[span style="font-size:10pt">#3 – Will need to have a Visa or Mastercard credit card or
debit card to be able to set up your monthly fee payments
[span style="font-size:10pt">#4 – Must have some punting knowledge so you can have a decent
chance of making some money when it is your turn to make a selection
for the club!!!!!!!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">What will happen with the profits that the club
makes???
[span style="font-size:10pt">Good question!!! There are so many options available to us as to what
happens with the profits the club makes – ranging from each member
taking an annual dividend or even aiming for something big like funding
a group trip to the Grand Final or even the Melbourne Cup, or even aim
higher and look at getting a share in a horse – the sky is the limit,
the only certainty is that a % of our profits agreed to by all club
members should be donated to Walesy &amp; the site!!!

[span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic">When will the club start???
[span style="font-size:10pt">When registering the club I set a provisional commencement date to
start as the 22nd September, this should give us enough time
to get at least 20 members signed up to the club.


[span style="font-size:10pt">So there you all go, hopefully this provides some sort of information
for you to consider – check out the PuntClub website and see
what you think, then if you are interested in joining register your
interest below, send me a friend request, then PM your email to me so
I can arrange an invitation to our club to be emailed to you.

[span style="font-size:10pt">Ok folks, comment away
