Title: Olympia Money Pool
Post by: littleguns on August 21, 2010, 09:43:41 AM
Everyone thinks they are a Guru when it comes to Picking the winners at shows so how about something fun this year...

How about an "O" pool? Work in progress but how about everyone puts in $5 with monies being sent to an impartial party, maybe Ron, Bob or Isaac, either checks made to cash or perhaps one of these gents can set up a paypal acct and we all transfer monies in.

From here we pick a date where all entries have to be submitted, guessing the Top 10

Work it on a point system

"O" winner worth 100 pts
2nd place 90 pts
3rd place 80 pts

and so on.

We can decided if it is a winner take all, top 3 etc....

Winner can get colored stars as the Guru etc etc

Heck we get 20 people that's $100 bucks right there...dinner with wife, supplements, whatever..

Thoughts?

I'm in but make it realistic like top 5 or top 3, no way anyone will get top 10, too many variables..

Ok,

Do we need to actually send money to an impartial person or can we truly be adults and send the winner monies?

Do we want top 5 or 10?

Do we want 1 overall winner or 3?

Anyone that is in, PM me so I can build a sheet and update as things go along

I say top five and winner or winners take all.

But I'm in no matter what decision is made.

At this point in time, I'd like to suggest a $10 entry fee but once again, I'm in regardless.

Now who the fuck are these guys anyway!?

Agreed with this, we can even PayPal Ron the money to hold in escrow.

Title: Re: Olympia Money Pool
Post by: stuntmovie on August 26, 2010, 12:03:09 PM
Me is in! Any way you choose to run it, but I'd prefer top five to make it somewhat easier to tabulate.

But I'm in regardless.
Title: Re: Olympia Money Pool
Post by: Captain Equipoise on August 26, 2010, 03:07:12 PM
I'm 100% in as well..

top 5 or 10? I would prefer 5 because 10 will be next to impossible to win..

how do we get this set up with ron

time is ticking...

let's have whoever gets it win ({if there are more then 1 persons winning)

TTT

Ok so this is what we have

$10 entrance fee. I am going on the Honesty system. Once a winner has been declared, all participants will be required to mail monies to the winner, if someone does not pay they will be suspended from GB.....Can we all agree on the honesty system?

Picks:

Top 5 and the #10 winner (this will be counted for any tie-breakers that may arise)

Point System

#1 - 10 pts
#2 - 9 pts
#3 - 8 pts
#4 - 7 pts
#5 - 6 pts
#10 - 25pts (only added if needed to break any ties)

Olympia takes place Sept 25th so what say all choices be posted by 9/22......for any choices to be valid they must be posted no later than the 22nd and also IM'ed to me directly so there is no funny business...

Thoughts/comments? Otherwise let the games begin!

$5 in paypal acct held down by ron.  that's the only way it will work.  you really think guys on here will pay after-the-fact with endless gimmicks.  

set up one thread with predictions.  that's it...no other posts.

Little, in the meantime, I'd like to send my $5 check to any address that you suggest in case I disappear for a week or so during the contest period.

That OK?

Guys,

We can go one of 2 ways....

All participants send their money to winner

or you can send it to me or my paypal acct where I will distribute to the winner, that Sunday morning. I understand some of you dont know me but remember, with Paypal, you can get your money back

So back to basics..

$5 entrance fee
Top 5 (wildcard pick 11th place in case of a tie)

1st place is 10 pts
2nd 9 pts
3rd 8 pts
4th 7 pts
5th 6 pts

11th place 25 pts (only added in case of a tie)

Monies/Choices must be in by the Thursday prior to Olympia

In order to be valid,

Choices will be put in a thread created the week of the "O"
Picks will also be emailed to me for additional proof..

So again, who's in!

Enough chatting, time to buck up!

You need to learn that getbiggers wipe their asses with $20 bills, so to make this enticing we need to up it to $10,000 per person.  Winner takes all.
