8-man pool via neteller? (or 16-man...

[josie_wales]

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,

Cool.

Spread the word to those that you think might be into it.

Maybe a crosspost? I think we could get some people that usually arent into betting sports cause they know nothing.

This levels the field.

3 so far.

Any others?
