OT: March Madness Pool
I am running a pool online and was seeing if any of you were interested. A buddy of mine who is a computer guy buys march madness software and we use that. It is awesome. It does all the scoring and lets everyone see who is in the lead so there is no cheating. It updates scores after each round and has some other features. Again, it is awesome and 100% legit.
I know it is kind of weird to ask total strangers to do an online pool with someone you've never met. But what we do is, people send money to my paypal account, and then I send the winner all of the money. Last yr I believe the winner won $450. I do not take any money out for myself. I would have a hard time sending strangers money on paypal, I get that, but this is legit, and a lot of fun. We are trying to get a $1,000 pot this year and this was the only way I could think of trying to get more people. Again, everything is done online, you can log on and see who is in the lead so there is no cheating. This probably a stupid idea but I figured Id give it a shot.
Just some other notes: 5$ per bracket, you can do as many as youd like. The website will be up shortly after the selection show om sunday night. I normally do not give out the website until I receive payment. Two years ago about 15 people did not pay, so that is why we switched to a paypal format. Again, I know this is a little bit out there, but if you guys are somewhat interested, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I will give you more details. Just to reiterate, it is winner takes all, and the money will be sent via paypal.

I figured that was the response I was going to get.

Kind of sad eternal glory is worth $0 these days.

I was waiting for this info....
I would do it but I'm not sure about allowing more than a single entry. I feel like someone will be "that guy" aka "that asshole" who figures that 5 bucks isn't too much to submit about 20 entries to secure victory
