I like option 1.
However, FTR doesn't gamble. It's weird. There've been a bunch of attempts to get a pool going that have fallen flat numerous times.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

Cool - mates name? I'll add him to list at top.
We're prob gonna need at least 20, then people can start doubling up to fill up the numbers. I'm happy chucking in $20 for 2 teams ( oh yeah, thats how I roll, showing the cash).

I was just thinking if we don't get 32, we can just let people buy 2 teams. Then we'll only need like 20.

Could go either way.
a) you get someone decent like Spain, Brazil, Argentina(Messi) and spend the rest of your life watching nothing but old replays of footballing greats on youtube and debating the pros and cons of the Dutch Total Football System
B) you get someone shite like Honduras, Chile, Germany and never watch another game of football again

dunno about trading, kinda ruins the point of a random sweepstake. And getting a shit team at least gives you some interest when they play.
I'm easy though, whatever people think.

I assume we're going to escrow, who's going to do it? I don't mind if wilburforce does, but since he's taking part in the bet some people might not like it. Thoughts?

yeah, prob best for me not to do it. I'd blow it all on hookers and crack.
Nakamura held the money for our Premier League thing, so if he doesn't want to take part in this we could ask him?

I'd ask that Willbur doesn't do the randomizing of teams.
He'd obviously get the bestest team and I (the cunt) would probably get the worstest.

Mr BuFu formerly known as Boog, you sir know me well.
Willbur - Spain
BuFunt - Honduras
on a cereal note - does anyone have a random.org account? I didn't realise you have to sign up to it.

What if we all selected a number, and which ever number was last is assigned to Willbur?
