I'm currently in one where there's 48 of us, we put $10 a week in from the start of Feb until the start of Dec, each punter has $240 to bet with and half gets banked, it's a nice little bonus a couple of weeks before Christmas.
If you win more than the $240 you keep going until you don't, if you win $0 it is a $10 fine.
There's some absolute banana's in the club and some are just banned from betting because they are literally too stupid, but they're fine with that.
Having a group with a bit of nous would make it worthwhile.
It's a pity none of the bookies (that Im aware of) are setup up for Punters Clubs' .. Sportsbet gave it ago for a while but it didn't work well and their staff had legitimately NFI how it worked, or how it was supposed to work.
Only way I think it could run would be for one member to control it and be across everything.
Im in 5 syndicates that mostly work similarly (1 is a bit different) and always happy to join them because it's a nice little Christmas club. Syndicates with an auto bank policy the best imho.
If anyone's keen to put their hand up and organise it though, I'd definitely be keen.
