Eliminator Pool

PokaPlaya22 · #1 08-04-2006, 01:43 AM

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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
