Option 1 is preferable if we've got 2 willing to split. I'll go with the majority either way though

Or just randomly select someone to not play and return them their money.

For the greater good.

To make it easy, I'm going to go with option 1 above. Pope and GW, don't worry about splitting squares. I'll probably sit out and each of you will get 4 squares. When the World Series gets a little closer, I'll check back in to randomize the board and get everything set up.

Good lad. As a relative n00b around here I'm happy to sit out if you need a spot.

It's gonna suck for you to run this and not be a part of it.

Yes, I agree. GW and I are fine with splitting and each getting $25 back. Don't sit out please.

QFT

I'm too dumb to immediately understand how this works, but ready for the gambollllll!

update?

Yep I'm still in whatever the **** this is.

Time to fill out the squares grid. Is anyone available to help? I just need the numbers 0-9 randomized on random.org using their list randomizer. Don't do it just yet. I need to make sure I have a volunteer or two first.

Edit: I've randomized the list of entrants and sent it to pope for confirmation. I need the numbers 0-9 randomized and the list posted here, twice. The first list to get posted will be the Dodgers numbers, the second list will be the Astros. Since nobody other than myself and pope know what order the names are in, anybody can do this part. One person can even post both lists. Just make sure to do two separate randomizations.

Thanks Gary. Give me a few minutes to fill everything in and I'll get it posted.

Come on Gary, give us some better numbers will ya?

$1250 Total prize pool
$150 to the winner of each game with the balance going to the winner of the clinching game.

For those who aren't sure how this works:
If LA wins game 1 by a score of 6-3, HawkFanIA would win $150 for having the LA 6 / Houston 3 square.
If Houston wins game 2 by a score of 7-4, the cumulative score is now 10-10, so Banned4lyfe would win $150 for having the 0 / 0 square.
If Houston wins games 3 by a sores of 5-2, the cumulative score is now Houston 15 - LA 12, so HawkFanIA would win $150 for having the Houston 5 / LA 2 square.
This goes on until a team wins the World Series. The winner of that game gets everything that's left. If it goes 6 games, $750 will have already been paid out($150 x 5 games), so the winner of the clinching game 6 would get $500.

Alright so I/us have:
Dodgers 5-3
Dodgers 7-0
Astros 6-1
Astros 6-0

Will you be sending our refunds?

I can send them now, or wait to see if you win any money in this and send it all then. Whatever you want me to do. If you and/or Gary want it sent now, send me a PM with your paypal.

Oh, cumulative. ****. Harder to sweat that way.

Guess that makes it fairer for the 9-9 square, which would be drawing to a 19-9 game the other way.

explain to me wtf i am looking at

also thanks for running EC!

Pope: Choose the Dodgers or the Astros. If we don't win with our squares, if you pick right, you get our whole refund. If not, I do. Bet is null if we win with our squares. Basically, I'm just saving us a potential transfer. Transfer after the Series ends.

Deal. If I like money, I obviously would pick the Dodgers. If I like actively rooting during the games, I would choose the Astros. So much to hate on the Dodgers, mainly Puig and Turner.

**** it, give me the Astros.

So EC would ship the entire $50 to one of us based on the results if we don't win a square. Deal.

Ah, skipped your post, thought I was ****ed with my numbers.

It'd be $25 (the other $25 goes to squares), but otherwise good to go.

I'd have chosen the Astros too

I'm pretty sure this is a $50 square. We were each in for $50.

Prizepool: $1250
Squares: 100
Squares per entry: 4
Entries: 25
$1250/25 = $50

Everyone put up $50. You two are splitting a $50 entry so are each owed $25.

oops, my bad.
