March Madness College Basketball Pool! Gauging Interest ASAP!!! Who wants to enter?!?
 
Hey,
I'd like to have a College Basketball Pool through TST... for TST members or anyone else intersted. Anyone who submits their sheet by the deadline can enter. I'm thinking $6 per sheet and you can enter as many as you'd like. $5 from each sheet goes into the pool and the other $1 goes towards the paypal fees and also paying for the cost of the program that we'll be using to keep things incredibly well organized and up to date.
I need to gauge interest here so please respond if you'd be interested in this and have a paypal account to pay the entry fees. Need to know asap as Selection Sunday is tomorrow and the Tournament starts Tuesday.
If there seems to be a good amount of interest and we can cover the $30-$40 cost of the program I'll go for it and I think it will be a big success.
So... let me know asap...
here's a snapshot of the program we'll be using so you can get an idea of how organized it'll be. it'll also feature a full up to date website where you can check your own status and others as well... the program is pretty sweet and i wouldnt think about taking something like this on without it.

lots of bball fans here eh? i expected a huge response from this... maybe not?

TROLL 03-12-2006 12:03 PM

shocking... still gauging interest here but we'll need 20 people (or 20 sheets minimum to do it...)

BlackBulletTSi 03-12-2006 12:07 PM

Come on guys do it it'll be fun!

Adamblitzer 03-12-2006 04:22 PM

i am a huge bbal fan.... we do a pool with a slightly larger buy in though.

TROLL 03-12-2006 05:02 PM

well i was expecting 50+ people but yeah... we're not quite at those numbers yet.

BlackBulletTSi 03-12-2006 05:09 PM

Come on guys its not that big of a gamble its for fun!

TROLL 03-12-2006 05:48 PM

yeah it costs less then 10 cents per game... hahaha. we really should be doing it for a bit more cash but wtf doesnt look like anyone is interested anyways. nobody likes sports? you all in a knitting club or something instead?

I thought this sort of gambling was illegal, and publicly talking about illegal activities on the boards was against the rules?

Should Bryan be banninated? :rolleyes:

BlackBulletTSi 03-12-2006 08:04 PM

OUCH callin u out

TROLL 03-12-2006 08:44 PM

oooh yeah talking about illegal things on the forum is not allowed you're right. i just never thought that a bball pool was actually illegal, but i guess it is? bah...

jspek 03-12-2006 09:11 PM

Ha, not that I care or anything. If this was a college or pro football pool, I would be down. I don't care too much for basketball though....

teh DIRT 03-12-2006 09:36 PM

yeah basketball.....meh.

EVmOore 03-13-2006 07:43 PM

96Stang 03-13-2006 07:51 PM

HickRocket1258 03-13-2006 09:17 PM

TROLL could you please help get this going soon so we aren't doing this last minute. College basketball is my #1 favorite sport actually after NASCAR but this years tourney is going to be very interesting. Some interesting upsets in the making possibly. Each regional seems real tough.

HickRocket1258 03-14-2006 07:04 PM

TROLL are we not doing this at all? It actually might be too late now but what is going on with it?
