*OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

All:

This idea got a pretty decent response, so consider this the official kickoff. The pool's official website is here . Original interest thread is here .

Official Rules

1. You pick one team per NFL week. The NFL week is Thursday - Monday.

2. Once you pick a team, you may not pick that team again. For example, if you pick Green Bay one week, you cannot pick Green Bay again for the remainder of the season.

3. If the team you picked wins, you advance to the next week. If your pick loses or ties, you are out of the pool. There are no point spreads involved.

4. You must PM or email me your pick (nflsuicidepool@gmail.com) by 12:00 noon Pacific time each Thursday. If you miss this deadline, you are out of the pool. No exceptions or excuses. I will do my best to remind participants, but you are advised to create a reminder for yourself.

5. I will post everyone's picks on Fridays, and the results will be posted on Tuesdays. This is the official website.

6. The last player remaining takes the entire pool. If the pool makes it to the end of the season or all remaining players lose in the same week, the pool will be split amongst the last remaining players.

7. There will be no deals allowed between remaining players to end the season early and share the money.

8. The entry fee is $10 per player. You can have multiple entries. For example, if you want to have four picks, you can do so. Each entry is separate and the same rules apply to each.

9. Entry fees can be paid via Poker Stars or Party Poker. My screen name on both is PhatBeetz (Jason Chan). PM or email (nflsuicidepool@gmail.com) me if you need to transfer funds in some other manner. Payment must be made by Wednesday, September 7 for inclusion in the pool.

10. There is no vig/admin fee. Winner takes all.

Other Notes

The pool will run if there are a minimum of 20 entries. I am going to play between 3 and 5. If there are less, I may still run it if there is interest from the paid entries.

This pool is open to non-forum players as well. If you have friends or family who'd like to play, they are welcome if they can live with the above rules.

Since there will be non-forum participants, I am going to offer a t-shirt (this design or a close approximation) to the forum participant that lasts the longest.

PM or email at nflsuicidepool@gmail.com if there are any questions.

Thanks, Jason

Back to the top so that people don't miss the official thread.

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

So, in order to pay through Party, I need to create 5 entries??

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

"If the pool makes it to the end of the season..."

That's REGULAR season, right? Sorry to nit-pick, but these matters are best addressed before it's too late.

"There will be no deals allowed between remaining players..."

Why on earth not?

"There is no vig/admin fee."

Thanks!

Oh, does party have a $50 minimum transfer? That sucks, I did not know about that. If stars is a problem (I don't think they have a minimum), I can do UB or Pokerroom (if they allow transfers). Barring that, we could go old school with check, etc. Let me know.

No problem.

Spread the word if you are interested, so we can make sure we get enough runners to make this thing happen.

Dude - your screen name rocks, although I'm not sure I want to be reminded of it. Why not "IloveCarmello"?

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

I will sign up tonight, thanks for putting this together

btw, your screen name is excellent

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

If you want to use party and only want to put in 10 then you can move 60 into that account and wait 8 hours and cash out the 50.

Thanks. I still have a lot of hate in my heart almost 20 years later. Plus, Carmelo was only there for a year.

I'm interested. I love this format.

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

Hey All:

We have 14 entries thus far. I will still run it if we don't make 20 slots. I'll send out a 'last call' on Monday or so to see if we can pull in any stragglers.

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

Why is this in SE rather than SB, where it would seem to fit better?

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

I stuck a notice there too when I first released this thread. I put the initial interest thread here, so then just kept the official here as well.

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

I'm BUMPed for the season opener tonight. Can we get a list of participants and people who have already paid going?

Unfortunately my house at college won't be fitted with Internet until next Monday, so earliest I can send my entry is Saturday afternoon, latest is Saturday after midnight (but well before Sunday games). Is this okay?

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

Crap, I forgot about this.

Is it up to us to keep track of who we picked?

Re: *OFFICIAL* NFL Suicide Pool Thread
 

Bump for victory!
