Guys
You up for a pool for the NCAAs...a little different than a normal one
Each person gets equal teams, either 'draft style' or 'random style'
Then the teams you get must cover, or else you lose them to the other team.
Example:
I have Missouri as one of my teams
You have NC State as one of your teams
The line is Missouri (-8)
Final Score
Missouri 79
NC State 75
While missouri won and moves on, YOU now have missouri as NC State +8 wins with the spread.
Not really too much skill, but will keep everyone interested in the pool until the end.
Every will have a decent chance of winning.
These will work as long as we have a number of entrants that is able to be divided into 64 (2,4,8 etc)
What we could do is have anyone that wants in transfer $20 into one members neteller account. Then that member would send winnings to the winner.
We would just pick a trusted/respected member to hold the funds.
At $20 a man the winner would get $160 with 8 people in.
At $20 a man the winner would get $320 with 16 people in.
Actually, it would be a little less, after the neteller transfer fees.
But again, this would be really just to goof around, talk trash and have a little fun for just a $20 entry.
I am open to altering this/changing terms or to any ideas.
Lets get this together,
