    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.

    that's my point, I want a shit team, presumably some others don't? I'm not rooting for italy just to ship 300.

    gambling is indeed wrong. But this is a game of skill. You put in some money, get given a random team that you have no control over and possibly win lots of money.

    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?
  42. #42
    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?

    Do the Boers support the Saffis in football? Or are they trying to demand their own team?

    we got a little while till the World Cup starts - we need 32 sweepstakers or people to take 2 teams if we can't enough.

    I'm happy to escrow the money, but it should prob be someone not involved.

    Suggestions?

    If someone runs off with 10 dollars of my money, I will devote the rest of my life to bringing that person to true Justice.

    So I would love you to escrow.

    I'm gonna give the winner $310. Then tell them i've ran off with your $10.

    Then live the rest of my mortal life (and poss the afterlife) in fear that a large gorilla wants to bring true justice to me.

    Anywhos - i'll wait till we have 32 commits, then we'll sort money and teams.

    This. More fun if you get apparent african outsiders who are actually quite qood and make a real run at it. Lookup Cameroon & Roger Milla, 1990. Ok, they weren't that good but memorable all the same.
