This is the website for the Brighton 2012 Fixed Odds League.

Each member selects one team from the bookmakers' weekend football fixed odds coupon to win, home or away. (Usually the Corals coupon but it may be Ladbrokes occasionally for a change of luck or if Corals are slacking getting the coupons out). Two pounds per week is paid in to the kitty. Half of this money is then used to place three seperate accumulators (one for each division) on the coupon for that weekend according to the selections made and the other half of the money remains in the kitty. League positions are determined according to the number of correct (or incorrect) selections each person makes during the course of the season.

The League is split into three divisions, with promotion and relegation (one up, one down) between the Premier League/Division Two and Division Two/Division Three. Trophies are presented to each divisional champion to be held for one year.

All the money won throughout the season, plus the weekly subs, is pooled into a kitty which then hopefully funds the AGM held in Brighton round about April-time....though it doesn't always work out like that :-(
