Eliminator Pool
 

Last NFL season I participated in an eliminator/suicide pool or whatever you wanna call it on this website pool-guys, the entry was $230 however the prize pool was $200 x amount of entries. These guys made a $30 rake on every person and this enrages me....

I currently have a website I operate of my own and I would like to participate in that style pool again this year however I do not want to pay those fees... would anyone be interested in joining an eliminator pool Im looking for to be involved in a huge one.... I DO NOT MIND DOING ALL THE WORK FOR IT!!!!

Let me know

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

yeah, but since you are new here, I'm sure someone will set one up, we can let a long time poster hold the cash and stuff. There will definitely be some interest.

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

I'd be willing to help and hold the cash as a trusted third party, if people wanted to organize this through here...

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

Hey,
I was thinking of organizing through my website... that way it would be more organized and secure. I could set it up so I could accept payment through neteller or paypal or whatever

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

Playa unless someone like Performify holds the money this won't get off the ground. Being a member here for 2 days no one is going to rightfully trust you with their money. If you don't like the idea of performify holding the money than we might have issues here.

Brendan sorry if you misunderstood I dont have a problem with something like that I was just saying i was thinking of using my website and my neteller/paypal accounts to take the money so it will all be easily tracked...as u may know paypal insures payments and by doing that I would be providing anyone who enters with all of my information including my home address and everyone would have proof of payment as well.

what do u think?

I think you're WAY too interested in holding the money.

Guys,

I'll hold the money, but it would be better if Performify did. I'm running bad at NL, so I'd probably embezzle it all.

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

hahahahaha I think your having a bad run cause u dont have a natural ability of reading people.... im offering to run this properly through a website not to do it all disorganized through a forum..... if you dont wanna do it thats fine it was just an offer

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

I don't think anyone would have a problem running the picks or such through a website.

Its just very few people are interested in sending a guy they've never seen money.

If you were an established participant on the forums its a different story.

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

If I am to do this through my website I will do it in such a way that all my information is made available to everyone participating, plus I will make sure that there will be existing proof of payment for every participant. .... let me know if you think its a good idea

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

ok im sorry to come across that way.... I just wanted to run it through my website, because I dont like the way other people have run them in the past....

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

Why don't you run the website and Performify holds the cash? Win-win.

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

im open to something like that

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

I'm open to something like that - assuming it's run through this site, preferably by Performify or someone of his ilk.

No offense, PokaPlaya, that's just how we roll. Better safe than sorry.

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

I understand, Im new to this so am I to take that some of you know each other personally?

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

Some people know each other personally. Others have just been here for multiple years and know each other by internet reputation [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Someone new to the site is always welcomed, but there's a big difference between welcoming someone's participation and trusting them to hold money for a contest.

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

We had one here last year, for $10. I joined in, because I didn't give a damn if somebody ran off with my $10.

I wouldn't put $200 into this, unless Mason, David, or Mat held the money (and no, I'm not volunteering them for this chore, I'm just using their names to make a point).

(BTW, a lot of us were forced to buy two entries, as sending <$20 via Neteller seemed to be difficult. I'd recommend a $20 pool. Enough to keep Neteller happy, and not enough to lose sleep over the thought of embezzlement.)

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

I wasnt thinking of doing anything close to $200 lower stakes is better for me

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

I'm open to holding the money and investing it in Rover's picks. We'll evenly distribute the profits [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Eliminator Pool
 

Ok, so how do I stay in touch with all of you that are interested? Should I just post stuff under this thread whenever things are set up??

sorry im new to this
