degenerate gambling football league-season 2

ed243421

it is time

here's what happened season 1 -

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=138742&hilit=+football+league

it's simple

get in the league

make 6 nfl picks against the spread each week

maybe win money

check out the rules from last year

and we take suggestions on new rules

entry fee and payout is determined by how many people gets in pool

who wants in?

The Fixer

Im down. For those that didn't participate last year, ed does a great job of running these pools. Whoever won last year got paid in a timely manner.

Only thing I'd recommend we change is to add a half point to each line so there aren't any pushes

Hopefully these idiots get their shit together and this lockout finally ends this week

Poncier

I'm in.

NoCode416

i'm in... i read a few pages from last year's thread, but never really found the decided-upon rules... i'm sure i'll figure it out as we go.

but it seems the main things are:

- $25
- 6 picks per week
- mail check to Ed by start of week 2 games

correct?

Horos

Interested.

ed243421

the rules are simple

pick 6 nfl games against the spread

example-

if there are thursday games, lines will be posted wednesday morning

any thursday picks must be pm'ed to me before kickoff

same as above with saturday games

sunday game lines will be posted on friday mornings

any sunday picks must be pm'ed to me before 12:30 pm ( est) sundays

monday lines will be out on friday am along with the sunday lines

if you want a monday pick, it must be in with the sunday picks before 12:30 pm


money will be figured out after we know how many want in


we can vote on having every line have a half point later

you have until wednesday. then the offer is off the table.

ed243421

ok
here's what i'm thinking
if waiting trophy gets in
we have 10

10 @ $20 = 200 to winner ( this is a $1.17 bet per week @ 17 weeks )

10 @ 25 = 250 to winner ( this is a $1.47 bet per week @ 17 weeks )

10 @ 30 = 300 to winner ( this is a $1.76 bet per week @ 17 weeks )

10 @ 40 = 400 to winner ( this is a $2.35 bet per week @ 17 weeks )


10 @ 40 = $10 per week into pot if anyone goes six-for-six, this would carry over if nobobdy hits it
and any in pot after week 17 goes to overall winner + 230 to winner ( this is a $2.35 bet per week @ 17 weeks )



10 @ 50 = $10 per week into pot if anyone goes six-for-six, this would carry over if nobobdy hits it
and any in pot after week 17 goes to overall winner + 330 to winner ( this is a $2.94 bet per week @ 17 weeks )


what do you vote for?

what do you vote for?

whatever the consensus is, is fine with me.

phardin

I say $50. I like the 6 for 6 idea, especially with the roll overs

The Waiting Trophy Man

I guess I'll be the one to go lower and say I'm in for 30 or 40, just in case someone's afraid to say it. But if it goes 50 you can count me in.

NoCode416

i will do whatever, but my vote is for this...

10 @ 40 = $10 per week into pot if anyone goes six-for-six, this would carry over if nobobdy hits it
and any in pot after week 17 goes to overall winner + 230 to winner ( this is a $2.35 bet per week @ 17 weeks

if we stay at 11

or get any more

this one looks pretty good for a pair of $ 20's

now it would be

11 @ $ 40 = $ 10 per week into pot if anyone goes six-for-six, this would carry over if nobobdy hits it
and any in pot after week 17 goes to overall winner + 270 to winner

we are 12 right now

just thinkin out loud

this could work

12 @ 40 = $10 per week into pot if anyone goes six-for-six, this would carry over and if nobobdy hits it
and any in pot after week 17 goes to overall winner + 310 to winner ( this is a $2.35 bet per week @ 17 weeks )

an option would be to pay second place???

should we????

still have $10 go in pot every week for 6-for-6
but since we have 12 people, we could pay
first place = 230
second place = 80 ( pays for pool + and pays for the next year)
i really don't care, just good to have options
whaddya think???????

we still could just pay 1

also
i wanted to do the honor system for the cash but
with the carry over pot
we need someone to ship winner(s) the cash
for instance
if someone hits in week 2
i dont want to make sure everyone mails $1.81 to the winner

so i think we should do a $20 up front to get in, sent to cash holder
and $20 mailed to winner at end of season
that would take care of any 6-for-6 payments with the first batch of $20's
and then the cash holder sends the remainder to season winner

i will be cash holder but
if anyone wants to volunteer to do it
the job is yours

if anyone feels the pot should be $ 50 , lemme know


?????????????
