GIDDY UP!!!


Today we started with 40 people left in one league where I took Pittsburgh. Six people took New Orleans today and are eliminated. But the last 16 people took San Fran or Seattle late!


I could really use a loss by those teams. We keep going through the Super Bowl for whoever is left. Certainly there will be 5 or 6 teams left in the end to split the pot.


In my other league I took Denver. Only 28 people are left and 11 of those teams took San Fran or Seattle!!!



I could used some help here!

Niners looking horrible. Might actually lose

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Could care less about your lg. But GB/SF/Sea might all lose today.

Arizona+7 for 2nd half looks good

how much is the split?
how many started in week 1?

[playersonly69]

We dont even have a split yet. We go into the playoffs. Around 215 started in the pool with 40 left. That one was a $100 buy in.


In the other pool with only 28 left was a $50 pool. It was a rebuy pool though through week 6, so it has a real big pot of around $22000. Naturally only 1 person lost today though!


No one lost last week in both pools. In the 40 person left pool, we had 5 losers who took New Orleans.



I would estimate that out of the 35 left in the $100 pool, at least 7 will win out through the Super Bowl. In the $50 pool with 27 left at least 5 will go undefeated throughout the Super Bowl

Interesting.
I ran a couple of pools.
We had 90 entries, and 3 just ran the table. We split it 3 ways.

So, how do you work the playoffs.
Their would be no way I could do the playoffs, because, all of our teams have been taken that are in the playoffs.

[playersonly69]

Well these pools are done through officefootballpool.com


In the playoffs, all teams are still available and you can reuse them as often as you like. That is why I said that there would be around 7 people that win out. For instance, for the first round most everyone will take Green Bay or Houston.


Some years something unusual happens like last year with Denver beating Pitt. I think that about 30% of players who were tied after the season last year had Pitt the first week of the playoffs

looked at that site, looks interesting, I might try to use that next year.

I've been using text messages and excel to organize my pools.

Of course, since a lot of my guys are over 50, some of them are computer-scared, so I still have to do all the phone calls.
I get my guys to turn in their picks by Saturday, just because its such a hassle on Sundays, to get everybody's picks

[playersonly69]

It cost a little bit per person, but it is easily worth it. It is the biggest site on the internet for pools.



It sets a deadline of 12pm cst on Sunday for picks to be in. For the Thursday night games, the deadline for ONLY that game is at 7:20pm cst. But this way, no one can see what other people have taken
