    How much do you tip a guy who runs a Super Bowl board when you win?

    A group of us won $14k on a Super Bowl board. The square cost $1,000. The board pays 100% of what it takes in, so the guy running it does it for free. We feel like we should give him a tip, but we have no idea how much. Thoughts?

    500 dollars is good. That is a minimum of 100 dollars and hour for his/her time and effort to put the pool together. I won a 1200 survivor pool and I gave 20 dollars for a lunch/dinner on me.

    Someone has to collect ALL of the money and get in to the winner. That is worth something.

    10 percent.

    Any time I hit an office pool at work it's about 200 to 250 I tip the guy who runs in 20 to 25
    I'm like "here Mikey, I got lunch" and leave him a 20 or whatever.

    Tip them? Most of the sleazeballs that I've played with already took out their cut for running it. Then they give their friends the better numbers. I played in one this year for $25 a square and go figure the guy running it won the halftime score.

    I ran $50 square Superbowl polls back in the late 90's to mid 2000's and no one ever tipped me shit. And mine always paid out exactly what they were supposed to and I flipped the random numbers(with cards) in front of a large group of people.

    If this was a $100,000 poll, what did the other quarters pay out?

    $500 on a 14k win is a nice tip. It does take some time to put one together.

    I know, the ones I ran had regular scores and flip scores for each quarter along with different numbers for each person for each quarter(so you didn't get fukked with 8 and 8 for the entire game). I was just wondering what else got paid out since $100,000 is a lot of money.

    Rudy and Mike, please apply a couple of Dr. Phil avatars to your handles. You guys need to stop this foolishness and find the inner peacefulness that resides within.

    As to the OP, 5% is plenty. It's not like he was bringing you a meal or cutting your hair.
