Hey bro's, I've got a great idea...

Just like a college basketball pool for the sweet sixteen, we could have one re. the Buffalo's tournament...

There'll be 16 chips available to buy, with a players name on each chip, and we do a blind draw to see who you get....we could do it for $20 a chip, and maybe pay out 2 places, at $200 and $120, or pay out 3 places at $160, $100, and $60....If we could get Steve Booth to do the draw for us, I believe we would all trust him not to incorrectly 'play with the chips' in any way...:eek:...:heh...

Whadda you guys think? - we'll have to hurry to get this done in time...

- Ghost

PS, I would volunteer to draw the chips...but if I bought two chips and then announced that luckily I drew Alex and Scott :eek: I don't think I could fade the suspicious stares from everybody...:eek:...:D...:p

Too slow.

I'd rather flip coins for $20. I'll flip and you call it. I'll keep track of the results.

That way it's even money, completely fair, and we can go as long as you want.

Warning, though, I'm REALLY lucky sometimes. :D

A good sweat bet Bruce, for $20.00 who cares, they are putting up 2k each, all of em have an outside shot at winning depending on how the bracket fills out.
If you can get Steve to do the draw and post the results of whos got who, I'm in.
I'd personally vote for either 1 winner or 2. I guess it's an honor system bet, if you lose you send your $20.00 to the winner? Whatever, I'm in if it flys.

If we can find a simpler way to manage the payoff, I'm in, but if there's more than one winner, someone has to designate who sends to 1st place winner and who sends to 2np place, etc. Pain in the butt, IMO.

BTW, NO Checks... I'd rather lose than receive 10 checks in the mail and have to f**k with them.

Yeah, I'm old and cranky. Sue me!

Yep, he's right, one lucky winner takes all the cash ( only please )

Do you think if we took turns doing the flipping, say 50 flips each, there's a good chance we'd both be equally lucky, and come out even...:p

That's funny. I know where you been. You got any black rhino horns or mini nukes? I'm looking. But I'll take a chip if we can do it in time. Don't care about the details or payout. Especially if I can do a pay pal..

We can do this anyway, NP. I trust you Bruce, so if we can get 8 or 16 people to play, I'm still in. With 8 we have two players each, with 16 we have only one. However you choose to do the draw is fine with me, just post who's got who. I'm in.

Calm down... he only means he trusts you up to $40. :D

I'm in. Let me know who I've got, either 1 or two. (I also prefer winner take all.)
