honestly
what i want this to be is cheat-proof

i will post my picks asap after the spreads come out
i've been in a league like this before and it's hard enough to trust your own picks let alone anyone else's
the best will pick at about 65% and most at 50%

and at 1pm
everyone sees their picks on a spreadsheet
they see everyone else's picks
and it's legit

i'm just messing with ya

Sounds good.

What about setting up a survival game as well. There is a website that sets it all up.

Just a thought.

I'm late to this, and don't feel like going through all this. All I know is I want in.

i think we have about 17 now
more to come

there are really only 2 things we need to figure out
so put your 2 cents in and we will see what works

1.show picks in thread or pm picks to me, and i post mine in thread early
2.money

the first one is easy, just post which you'd like

the money question is- do you want to do the honor system and send a check to the winner at end of season

or

send me a 20$ check - that i would not cash til end of season- with that we could add the weekly "six for six" that would get anyone who hits all their piks some cash at the end of the year. the good thing about this is it can carry over and add up, and it keeps you interested weekly even if you can't pick your nose.

i think with the honor system we could not do the weekly thing
with the checks, i could just send winnings out after the last game

let me know what you think

after that i will post some rules

1) i say picks via pm then you post them before sunday.
2) checks - no offense to anyone here but honor system is a bad idea. I say give everyone up to around week 4 to send you a check. anyone not having a check in by end of week 4 i'd say is out. unfortunately i've run too many pools like this and know 1st hand that people who lose early have a tendancy not to pay unless you hound them - too much of a hassle. get the money up-front as much as possible is my advice.

1 - I don't care. email might be easier than PM

2 - agree that honor system is bad idea. pay by week 1 or you're out (it's only 20 bucks).

Also, for what it's worth I'm against weekly payouts unless we up the entry fee. It's only gonna be a pot of around $400. I vote that winner takes all

Just tell me where I have to send my money and my picks.

hopefully
we can get 30 , have the weekly 10 dollar thing, and the winner gets 430.
the first game isn't until around the 8th sept. we have plenty of time to let in as many as we can.

but you guys tell me

weekly 10 dollar thing or not?

and yes, i say checks or cash needs to be recieved by the first sunday games

Jearlpam0925 · August 2010

If you do a pick 'em that's more "yahoo friendly" then you could just send a link out to everyone.

A survival pool would be good too.

how about make it $25 with $20 going to year-and $5.00 going to weekly?

definitely like the weekly idea in whatever dollar form it works out to be.

the numbers do not work like that for the weekly
5 a man in a 20 man league = 100
17 weeks / 100 = like 6 bucks per week to be won
it has to be worth at least 10 per week if we are to do it

another set of numbers are
if we get 30 members
at 25 per head = 750
overall gets 500
each week is worth 15$ and it can carry over, week 17 would have to be worth only ten to equal out

if the people only want a 20$ bet
and we get 30 members = 600
we could make the weekly worth 10$
and overall gets 430

the more members
the numbers go up

tell me
