Sky Bet Transfer Fund

Anyone know how this actually works? Always sign up for it but it seems only the big teams ever win it. Forest won last time and Leeds are top of the league for this one with the deadline at midnight.

The logistics of it is that there are more forest and leeds fans so thry have morr entries and ultimately more chances of winning.

Similarly if you buy 3 lottery tickets you'll have more chance than the guy with 1.

Someone told me ages ago that it was done on a percentage style thing based upon average attendance. I'm sure Brighton won the first one and bought Zamora and I don't think they could compete with Forest and Leeds back then.

Brentford won it one year too and used it to sign Chris Moore from us.

Well when I looked last night we were 66th so I don't think it'll be us this year.

The ten finalists were selected randomly this morning. None from dagenham. The winning fan geta 5k and 250k for their team.

Every 1 pound bet via skybey is a token to be in the draw. Unfortunately daggers arent in the final 10.
