would there be any interest in a baseball pool?

i'm thinking
$30 a person- honor system to be sent to winner after world series
thats a $5 bet a month for the season

first 10 people are in
if we get 15 we go with that

10= winner take all
15= 1st and 2nd place

it would be a live on-thread draft of teams
draft order randomly selected
10 people = 3 teams per person
15 people = 2 teams per person

for combined wins
including playoffs and world series


10 people = draft would be snaked round 1 and 2 but 3 would be same as round 2(so the 1st pick would also pick 20th and 30th)

15 people = snake draft ( 1st pick also gets 30th pick)


the only trouble i see is if the phillies explode, but that guy still has a horrible team at 30th pick

any thoughts to add?
the season is just so long and boring

    i like this. im in.

    how about $50 a person, but we'll have a monthly bonus for the person with the most wins that month. at least with this, everyone will stay interested all year long.

    haha...funny you should ask. i got him a nice bottle of tequila. price-wise, it's pretty even for the amount of time he covered for me verses me watching over his shit last year.

    i was just packing it up actually.

    i skimmed and saw the words league, baseball, and $50... assumed fantasy.

    this looks interesting, though, and i'll give it a shot. i'm in.

    i hope you want in the pool

    but

    this will be ten people in a draft for major league baseball TEAMS

    for instance my teams might be

    st louis
    white sox
    and seattle

    most total wins for my 3 teams

    vs everyone elses total wins for their 3 teams

    we can try to do a monthly total win prize

    but lets just see if we can get 10 people first

    still want in?

    Yeah I understand how it is. I was just saying if you did use a platform, I like yahoo better.
