I thought it was high-rollers only.

"another"? did i mention that i'm running a fantasy league for this bboard, too? :D

I'd like to point out I've been rather helpful to newbies who ask questions… but really, being nice to others is its own reward!

Well, what are we hearing?

There's definitely interest in at least a $100 pool. Is there much interest in another $5 pool?

Cast your votes….

yeah, it's pretty easy to second-guess professional odds-makers after the fact :)

Second guessing? Did I pick that game that despite the fact that they were the biggest home team favorite in week one? I did not, and that's why I'm still in the pool. Guess that means I first guessed, doesn't it?

i'm definitely up for another $5 pool, maybe even a $25 pool… but $100 is outta reach at the moment. got a bunch of concert tickets i need to buy first :)

you would have had to pick the titans to be able to say that.

if there's enough other takers (including current survivors from pool 1… *clinks bottles together* come out and plaay), i'll do another $100… but $25 is cool too (whatever brings in most participants)

I'm in for $100. I just signed up and am now scheduling my Sundays around football. :-(

Do we have consensus here yet?

$25 or $100?

I'm in for $25

How about we split the difference (sort of) and make it $50?

I'm ok w/ $100 . . . but I'm fine w/ anything.

I also like the idea that if someone wins other than Seth, he will book the band of their choice to play the Club (to which the VIP tix would apply). I'm thinking a return of Radiohead or Van Halen.

I'm inclined to give preference to those that have been eliminated from the first pool…

I'm hearing $50 and $100 from them, but mostly another $100.

1 vote for $100

i can be badgered into $50, but no higher.

also in favor of this second pool being only for those who were eliminated from the first pool. sorta like a consolation prize.

seth?

Sorry - no more new ideas. We're only talking money here. It's a little late for that idea anyway as participants have already signed up.

i don't mind doing the $50, but it should definitely be open to everyone.

Sweetcell and Eros are in the $50 camp.

6949, Sal Paradise, Mobius and Seth are in the $100 camp.

———————

Hoya is at $25.

Vansmack and GGW are in at $100.

Any others? I'm ousting the $5 second chance by the way - Commissioner privileges.

for some reason i thought "preference" = "exclusivity".

i'd probably do $50, but would prefer to have more people in at a lower rate if possible
