Just an idea I had for a forum game.
Find a bookie offering odds of 25/1 or longer on something you have a sneaky suspicion will come true and call it in this thread.
At the end of the season the person who correctly called the thing with the longest odds wins.
The rules are:
TeacherMan - Jamie Cureton as top scorer - 25/1
Wombling Kiwi - Wimbledon to be champions - 37/1
shoddycollins - Stevenage to finish bottom of the table - 25/1
Richard Cranium - Matt Green as top scorer - 40/1
Chasing Rainbows - Northampton to be bottom on 1st of September - 25/1
daviejones - Lyle Taylor as top scorer - 33/1
Judge Dredd - Luton & Cambridge in the top two - 100/1
ComeOnIrene - Jermaine Easter as top scorer - 66/1
Vanni - Rakish Bingham as top scorer - 133/2
Tom_CUFC - Orient to be relegated - 33/1
jamesslater01 - Billy Kee as top scorer - 40/1
StagsForLife - Ollie Palmer as top scorer - 100/1
cufc17 - Luton & Northampton in the top two - 80/1
Look Out There Are Llamas - Luton & Portsmouth in the top two - 40/1
TowcesterCobbler67 - Alex Nicholls as top scorer - 66/1
Don Tonberry - Morecambe to win the playoffs - 33/1
Grecian O'Grecian - Tom Nichols as top scorer - 40/1
so, for example, from just the top two. If Jamie Cureton finishes the season as top scorer and Wimbledon finish as champions then Kiwi would win with the longer odds. However if Cureton finishes as top scorer but Wimbledon aren't champions then Teacher wins.
Also, just to remind you again, you can change what you've called up to kick-off on the opening day of the season, but please do so in a new post rather than by editing your original one. I'll be in Edinburgh but should be able to make final checks on any last minute changes. It's not just what you've called that can change, but you can also update the odds if they lengthen, you don't have to update them if they shorten (if they shorten it's evidence you made a good call and more power to you for doing so) but are perfectly entitled to claim the longest odds you can find on the thing you've called right up till kick-off.

The rules are:
- The thing you call must be related to League Two or one of the teams, players/managers etc. in it
- It also must be related to the season 2015/16.
- You must have found a bookie offering odds of 25/1 or longer on it
- You must post a link to where you found it on the thread so people can check on it.
- Only one call per forum member
- No two forum members can call the same thing
- All calls must be made by kick off on the first day of the season
- Up until then you can change your call
- At the end of the season the correct call with the highest odds wins
- In the event of a tie it will be put to a vote to decide who made the best call.
- I haven't decided yet how to determine the winner in the (likely) event that nobody calls anything correnctly, but it will something along the lines of deciding who came closest to being right and/or holding a vote. It's just a bit of fun so it isn't too important that we have a rigorous process.
