Default Re: When Should I Draw?

[ QUOTE ]
. I have already told the other guys that if we are going to do the pool, we need to get the money up front, then have everybody draw at the same time (scenario #1).

Yes, obviously you need to put the money in up front. Once this is done, though, it makes no difference whether or not you draw at the same time. Once everybody's money is locked up, you can draw in turn from a hat (mixing it up each time). You can even show each other what you've picked. Of course, if the first person drawing picks the best team, then already he has the best chance of winning.

But before any draws have been made the system I described gives everyone an equal chance of winning. And that is all you are trying to do.
