So we do this thing at work where we all predict the score each week of every Husker Football game and whoever is closest to being correct wins.

But there's a catch.

Everyone puts in $10 before each week.....every one who wants to compete that is. The winner then gets big cash at the end of each week and bragging rights of course.

We could do this via Paypal. I know this would require some of you to create Paypal accounts, but it takes no time at all and all you need is a bank account.

So who has balls?

I know I do. Pitch in $10 a week? Go for the big bucks? Anyone?

ya know a guy once recruited me to sell pocket knives, and he wanted me to recruit 10 people under me to sell pocket knives and convince them to recruit people under them…

long story short i spent a few nights in jail and I'm not to willing to do these types of things anymore...

It's a lot of fun.

Someone each week wins well over $100 depending on how many people play.

It's not the money JJM. It's just something I'd rather not be a part of. I don't see it as worth it to win $100. Pickems is good enough for me.

I might play an NCAA Tournament pool for $10 through some buddies, but doing a weekly routine on an anonomous message board doesn't excite me.

Anyways, I've known you fellers for several years now.

Anonymous my butt.

The reality of it is nobody wants to go through the hassle of setting up a Paypal account and figure out how to use it.

It scares ye

:evil:

No. It just doesn't intrigue me. I would stand a lot better chance of winning a football pickems than an NCAA basketball tournament bracket. The difference is the tournament is a one time a year thing, the other is a weekly thing. I might consider participating on a bowl pickems.

That is another aspect of it. It's not like just throwing $10 bucks into a pool.

I used to play $10 NFL "30 pools" weekly at a bar I used to go to.
Each week you were assigned a team and if that team scored exactly 30 points you won. If nobody won, the prize was added to the next weeks games. The pot would reach $900 a few times. I loved playing that shit. But it was different in that it was run out of the bar and was done in cash.

I do already have a paypal acct, but don't care to use it for that.

Yea, the problem with that is getting random people to trust you with their money.

It almost has to be a local thing like here at the Husker board where we know each other.
