    NFL survivor pools - Do these guys really not take a big cut off the top?
    Not accusing anyone of anything, but I've heard of some huge pools, and it seems highly unlikely that you'd put all that time and effort into it without taking some off the top. Yet none claim they do, just free entries ...

    I'm calling BS, not mad about it, it just seems weird to lie to people about it.

    I can think of one that I bet the dudes actually make their living from it yearly, it's so big.

        Im in one thats $50 buy in, with around 1000 players. Pot was $47,500 last year split amongst 4 guys. I went out in week 8 last year with only 1 entry. Some guys had 10 entries. There is also $1100 to the person that picks the biggest underdog to win outright. The winner of that picked one with +4.5.

                              It's free to sign up on ESPN however you don't necessarily "win" anything if you're the last man standing in a "league"

                                          Nitrogensports has a free one along with some pay ones. It's all on the up and up since you can see the plays when the games start.

                                          edit- The free one pays out 1 BTC (currently $265). Then they have 6 more at varying entry fees with no take out.

                                          What does the Guaranteed Prize mean?
                                          The Guaranteed Prize means this is the minimum we will award for this pool. If the number of entrants is large enough, then the pool will be larger than the guaranteed amount! 100% of all entries go towards the pool. Nitrogen takes zero (0%) fees

                                                  Im in one here have been for a few years 20.00 a buy in unlimited entries has well over 2k participants every year.

                                                  YES!!!! We are playing again for 2015!!!

                                                  Chuck and Charlie are once again running the pool this year. Offfical invites with deadlines etc will be sent out via email as the season gets close. But its never too early to join.... If you have friends who want to join us for the first time, have them send their contact info and how many entries they want (with names for each entry) to us at Commishs4Surv2015@gmail.com and we'll make sure they get the rules, etc.

                                                  Last year we had 2,866 entries

                                                  I tried sending email to these people and it came back saying it was an invalid email address.

                                                  Can you double check and let me know the correct address or if you prefer pm then let me know.
                                                  Thanks.

                                                          Im in one here have been for a few years 20.00 a buy in unlimited entries has well over 2k participants every year.

                                                          YES!!!! We are playing again for 2015!!!

                                                          Chuck and Charlie are once again running the pool this year. Offfical invites with deadlines etc will be sent out via email as the season gets close. But its never too early to join.... If you have friends who want to join us for the first time, have them send their contact info and how many entries they want (with names for each entry) to us at Commishs4Surv2015@gmail.com and we'll make sure they get the rules, etc.


                                                          Last year we had 2,866 entries

                                                          found the discrepancy in the email addresses as well so hopefully it wont come back and I will receive an answer.
