gmml's baby pool: $20 buy-in

    Default gmml's baby pool: $20 buy-in

    So I never really made an announcement yet, but (gasp) I'm going to be a father. I know, poor kid.

    I've heard of people holding baby pool's for a fun gamble and to give a helping hand to those having their first child. 50% of the pool goes to the winner, and the other 50% goes to the house (the new parents). I feel kind of weird setting this up on my own because it kind of feels like asking you guys for money, but please don't feel obligated. I don't want to come across like I'm pan handling... let's have some fun.

    If you fancy to participate, here's how it works

    1) Send [email protected] $20 via Paypal.
    2) Put in your guess for the Baby's sex, date, and time born, make sure to be specific to the minute. (For example: Male, March 18, 3:03 PM)
    3) Whoever is closest to the actual reality of the birth, wins 50% of the pool.
    4) The other 50% of the pool will be given to the doctors since they will be sending me a large bill.

    Here's what we know so far

    - The latest due date the hospital gave us was March 18. (A few months back we were also given March 20 and March 24)
    - We do not know if it will be a boy or a girl

    Rules

    - Don't publicly post your guess
    - Once you guess a sex, date, & time, that is your locked in guess.
    - You can guess as many times as you want, but each is $20.
    - Once someone guesses a sex/date/time, no one else can guess that.
    - Price is Right rules don't apply on second though, closest guess regardless wins.
    - Date/Time take precedence over sex.
    - Time given will assume to be ET.
    - Entries will be accepted until the baby squeezes out of the vagina.

    Entries
    1) kiwimark
    2) Jack Sawyer

    Holy fucking Jesus! We're two cesareans in, first one emergency, second plan (go me, right!) and it cost about 50 quid in parking charges and nothing more. Here's a plan for you. Spend 5k on a 2 month holiday in England, have baby with nhs for free.

    Surely if you're here on holiday and, ahem, unexpectantly pop, a&e will take care of it, no?

    Really? Learn something new every day. Maybe claim asylum, that way we'll give you some money each week too.

    Ok, I've got it. You quickly divorce Mrs gmml, I'll marry her for 5k, full conjugal privileges expected, she can shack up in my shed and as my wife gets British passport and full nhs rights, have sprog, get divorced from me for being a cheating whore (can't believe it wasn't my baby) and fly back to Mr gmml's waiting open arms.10k in the bag.

    I seriously thought you were joking when you said the cost, then everyone acted like you were serious. Mind blown.

    Congrats.

    I think we should also guess the baby's complexion. I choose the range between milk-white and transparent.

    I'm voting black. He did say he didn't plan on having a baby for a while right? Someone else was obviously up to the task.

    Congrats! Welcome to hell.

    If they stay in the hospital for a night or two, try to appreciate the peace and quiet while you can. I also suggest now is the time to start working longer hours, maybe weekends too.

    Did you use epidural? I talked to my brother's wife yesterday, who is having her second in a month, and she said it wasn't that bad (and she didn't use epi), just that she got damn tired after 10 hours and still only a 8cm opening.
