For every match, SPIN will be giving away a Booby Prize to the person whose prediction was the furthest out.
Anyone who wins a Booby Prize will be in with a chance to win a 6 month sub simply by sending us in photo of them with their beloved prize! We’ll publish the photo and set you up a 6 month subscription to SPIN (or extend your current one if you’re smart enough to already have one).
The family album can be found on this website!

Booby Prize No1 - Marketing Monkey
Always handy around our marketing office, Marketing Monkey has always been one of the family here at SPIN. But, he’s now outgrown our ability to keep him as happy as he should rightfully be, and therefore, it’s time for him to move on and find a new home.
Marketing Monkey will be swiftly transported to his new family after the Yorkshire vs Derbyshire game on Sunday 27th April, once the results of the match are confirmed, and the furthest prediction from the result is announced.

Booby Prize No2 - Space Raiders
You thought they’d stopped making them. You thought you’d never taste their pickled onion goodness again. You thought wrong.
Here at SPIN, we want you to know just how much your happiness means to us. And that’s why only prizes as good as these classic old school snacks get through our Booby Prize quality control.
Yes, they really are pickled onion flavour Space Raiders. Yes, they really are still in date. No, we really didn’t find them on the back shelf of our Granny’s larder. And oh yes – you really do get all 12 packets.
Mmm… retro.
And in a galaxy, not so very far from here, in just over one week's time, someone will be eating these scrumptious snacks, perhaps for breakfast. It could be you, if you've got the worst guess come next Monday's game against Durham, your life might be about to get just that little bit more tasty.

Booby Prize No3 - Alien Balloon
Occasionally in life, you come across something that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it before. Our Alien Balloon is, without a doubt, one of those such objects.
Useful for all sorts of household chores such as reaching high cobwebs and entertaining the dog, Alien Balloon will be a delight around the home. However, it should be noted that Alien Balloon, like many balloons of the same age, is rather less eager when it comes to doing the washing up.
Inflated for photographic purposes only (he refused outright to have his photo taken before he was blown up), Alien Balloon will be shipped in his deflated form, for inflation at your own pleasure.
Alien Balloon will be sent to the estimator of the most incorrect guess in the Yorkshire vs
ALIEN BALLOON TOOK OFF TO MATT HOOPER OF CHEDDAR, WHOSE GUESS OF 109 RUNS WAS OUT BY 95.
Booby Prize No4 - Walnut Whips
Walnut Whips. What can you say about them? Our team were so lost for words when it came to describing this Booby Prize that we resorted to two fail-safe methods…
Firstly, we found out some facts about the glorious whirl-shaped chocolate treat. Did you know that the Walnut Whip is Nestle Rowntree’s oldest current brand, launched way back in 1910! Over 1 million walnuts are used every week in their manufacture, and most astonishingly, it is calculated that almost one Walnut Whip is consumed every 2 seconds in the
But I think our marketing crew probably wobbled that statistic this morning when our second fail-safe method was brought into action – eating the Walnut Whips we photographed to get to know them better – and happily, they were even nicer than we remembered.
We promise however, to replace the Walnut Whips we chomped and send them to the player with the worst guess in the Yorkshire vs Scotland game on Sunday 18th May.
