The Bromleys are both willing and very enthusiastic volunteers to enter the Prop Bet Challenge as competitors. Hopefully our participation will bring not only competition to the overall leaderboard (we are coming after you Bates!), but also some healthy in-house competition between us! Those who know us know how much we like to go after each other!

GREAT! Really glad you guys are in it! Looking forward to what is clearly going to be a very competitive challenge in 2015!
Hope you both have a great year!
Thanks again for supporting this, the level of support has been quite overwhelming!
Please spread the word to your poker friends to sponsor you!
A friend of mine, Shirley Cole has sponsored me for £20 (To go to The Salvation Army Charity). She doesn't have a Sky ID, so posting this for her! Many thanks Shirley! Happy 2015!
Hi Graham, Sorry I never read this, & replied, sooner. Put me down for £50, please. Have not decided "how" to donate yet, or to what Charity, but I'm deffo going to contribute £50. Good luck all. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks TK, that's great! A brief summary of where we are at is below:
After just two days of starting this more than £500 has been pledged!
So far we have 7 "Competitors", listed below:
COMPETITOR CHARITY ======== ======
Graham Carter (StayOrGo) Salvation Army Matt Bates (Matt Bates) TBD Ryan Spittles (Scotty77) Nuffield Orhopedic Centre TommyD (TommyD) Centrepont Ben Nuttall (Nutter5932) TBD Natalie Bromley (Bromley023) British Heart Foundation Adam Bromley (Bromley04) RSPCA
Players can "register" themselves as competitors until the end of January, the split of the "Competitor" prize pool, currently £350, we be allocated to the competitors that make the most money through their tournament play.
At the moment with 7 runners, and potentially more to come, I am thinking of a 50%/30%/20% split between 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. This could be "broadened" to include a 4th place if /> 10 runners by the end of January.
I appreciate that things are a bit "fluid" at the moment, however I do want to give potential "competitors" time to come forward.
At the end of January the prize pool distribution will be finalised and no more "competitors" can come on board.
So, on to the "Sponsors".
"Sponsors", are people who are not in the competition as a "competitor", but sponsor a particular "competitor" to win. They have 4 choices as to what happens with their donation (as people are altruistically donating, I feel it right to give them as much control as to where their money ends up as possible).
The four choices are:
1) Their donation goes to the various 1st/2nd/3rd place winners charities, split 50%/30%/20% as per the "competitors" prize pool. 2) The full donation goes to the charity of the person they are sponsoring. 3) Their donation is split 50/50 between, the winners charities and the charity of the person they are sponsoring. 4) Their donation is split between the charities of all the "competitors" involved
So far in addition to the £350 pledged by the "competitors" an additional £165 has been pledged by "sponsors", so a sincere thank you to all those involved so far. It is my intention to allow sponsors to pick "their competitor" until the end of June 2015.
Please can I now ask for people to spread the word about this, so we can get more "competitors" and "sponsors" on board.
Also, can all "competitors" rally their friends to sponsor them.
Thanks again for all the support I've had with this, it's quite overwhelming. If some form of prize could be offered to sponsors correctly picking the winning player, that would provide a great incentive for people to become sponsors, and I'm sure it would help us raise more money for these worthy causes.
Thanks again for all the support! All the best in 2015!
Hi guys, I have created a spreadsheet of Sponsor donation/selections that have been posted. I will keep this up to date. The "competitor" aspect is easy to keep track of as it is £50 per person (Currently £350) and will be divided 50%/30%/20$ for the top three finishers.
COMPETITORS, please add your charity, if you haven't already done so. PLEASE get as many friends to sponsor you via this thread as you can. So TWEET IT, FACEBOOK IT, EMAIL IT, PHONE IT, WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO GET SPONSORSHIP.
We are hoping to have £2,000 pledged by the end of January, and maybe get to £3,000 as more "Sponsors" get involved! BUT we can only do that with the support of friends and family of the Competitors, plus of course the wonderful Sky community who already have been so generous! So far we have been pledged a total of £565.00
I'm not really sure how this works, but I'd like to 'sponsor' Bromley (m) as he is playing for my favourite charity. In for the full £50. GL all. Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Great thanks Doh!
Really appreciate it, I'm sure Adam does too! That's £50 to the RSPCA regardless of the result. I will update the spreadsheet accordingly. I will post the updated spreadsheet again, just before the live show on Sunday!
Thanks again, have a great 2015! We are hoping Sky will provide some sort of a prize for those that sponsor the winning player. So if Adam won, you would qualify for that prize. Hopes this makes sense. It's still a bit fluid until we finalise details.
Nice thread happy to be involved and Tommy has got off to a flier !
My charity will be cancer research uk purely because that awful disease has directly affected my family on multiple occasions and I'm sure many on this forum.
All good causes regardless and happy to help anyone of them should I lose !

If ever I underestimated the challenge ahead, I only have to look at day1 of 2015 to see how good these guys are!
I was knocked out of the £55 Speed B/H by nemesis Matt Bates and to top it all TommyD finished 2nd in the first Main Event of 2015!
Outstanding Tommy!
The gauntlet has been laid!
Best not to talk about my results! :=(
Paul Garner - My charity is St. Nichael's Hospice. It is a local charity to me which provides care for people with life-limiting illnesses.
