930 Board Survival Football Pool

Ummm, I'm in for $5 (vansmack, check your paypal), but not for $100. North of about $20, it changes from frugal entertainment to a bad investment decision :D

No, no, you're trying to price poor hipster kids out of this. I offered you a valid wager, that seems fair to both sides, and if you don't accept, THEN YOU'RE DUCKING ME!!

I expect that from some of the rest, heck, most of them, but not you, Seth. I always held you in the highest regard, but I'm starting to question that decision. :(

have you ever been told that it's BAD MANNERS to badger someone into a bet? he's already informed you what he's willing to wadger.

besides, if seth is up for this kind of a bet i want in on the action. i know i can out-pick him.

It's not my goal to badger him into a wager, I just find it insulting that I make him a perfectly good offer and he comes back with something that HE KNOWS I cannot reasonably be in for. The bad manners is trying to price me out of a bet. I have to put food in my kid's mouths!

Oh yeah? Put your $$ where your mouth is, big fella. If I last longer then you, I get a VIP pass to the show of my choice. If you last longer then me, dinner is on me, you name the place.

I think a dinner for two at the restaurant of his choice would come to $100. :)

Oh, I'll do it. In addition to the $5 entry fee, there is a side pool at $100. Last one in the side pool takes all.

Thus far I have:

Seth
Hoya
GGW
Vansmack

Any other takers?

To be clear if I jump in, the pool will then be $500 or am I reading this wrong?

yup, you'd get $500 if you won (your 100 back + 400 net winnings) plus a pair of VIP tix* - sweet pot.

right now i'm trying to talk myself out of joining…

*EDIT: assumption that it would be a pair, i'm sure seth will clarify.

I was proposing a Seth vs. Julian side pot, but I give the man credit for taking the bait all the same.

Considering the $100 pool. Really feel I have no chance in any pot over 3-4 people though…

So $105 Paypal covers it?

If I jump in I'll instruct the $$ part of it go to charity if I win.

When I first read this header:

"9:30 board survival"

I thought it was an actual survival pool.

So heres a way to make this interesting for all of you gamblers:

Whomever does the worst at the end of the season has to leave the board.

Survivor: 930.com! CBS is really hard up for ideas.

$5 for the Regular pool.

$100 extra if you want to join the optional side pot.

So $105 would cover it.

Unfortunately, if previous experience tells anything, there will be more than one person out this week. We would lose half the board….
