Competition time. It's one of the downsides of the decimal system that 10 is not exactly divisible by three. I got some strange looks when I celebrated the 33 1/3rd anniversary of my birth by taking a trip to Florida and the Bahamas, but to me, that milestone was more significant that my 20th, 25th or 30th such anniversaries. I guess my 10th was fairly significant, since my age was now measured in two digits, but hitting one-third of a century was a big deal to me.

This blog is now approaching 1/3 of a million hits and to mark the occasion, I'm offering a can't lose deal for my loyal readers. Guess the date when 333,333 will be hit, and win a free £333.33 Betfair bet on anything but horse-racing or dogs! Or you can break it down into three bets of £111.11. If the bet or bets lose, you lose nothing, but you win nothing either. If your bet wins, I'll keep a third, but two thirds of the winnings are yours.

E-mail the date of the 333,333rd hit to me with your PayPal e-mail address by December 13th to be qualified. XX Draw Subscribers (and family members) get three entries. In the event that there is more than one winning entry, the £333.33 will be divided by the number of winning entries. Go.
