Doesn't matter.  They will draw for the X numbers before the game when all bets are in.  It's just a crapshoot.

I'll take a box. How do you do the paypal thing. I have an account, but never sent money to an individual..

Then why do we care what box we have at this point?  Why not just pay for a spot?

Isn't that what we're doing?? Paying for a spot?
Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: chifaninva on January 17, 2012, 07:24:29 pm
Yep, really doesn't matter. People will pick  a spot just 'cause they think "it's the lucky one"..
Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: Pekin on January 17, 2012, 07:32:11 pm
Got it.  Thanks!
Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: wmljohn on January 17, 2012, 07:33:06 pm
Yeah.  If you don't care where your name is then just let me know and I will fill it into a blank spot.

Just some people like edges, corners middles.  They just think they are lucky spots.

Once the boxes are filled I will draw numbers 0-9 twice and fill in the ?'s.  If the score at the end of the first quarter is 0-0 and you have that box you are a winner!  If the halftime score is AFC 14- NFC 3 then the box with AFC-4 and NFC-3 is the winner of the second pot.  SO if the score at the end of the third is AFC 14 NFC 23 you are a winner again!

Take note it is the final score for the last pot NOT the end of the 4th.

I picked the 4 -3 spot for sentimental reasons. Really doesn't matter which box since the numbers are added later anyway

Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: wmljohn on January 27, 2012, 01:21:04 pm
I still have plenty of boxes to sell.

You can buy more that one.  Ask Family members, coworkers and friends.  You can collect the money from them and send me the money via paypal if they want them.

The numbers will be drawn when the boxes are filled or Friday wichever comes first.

Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: wmljohn on February 01, 2012, 07:12:24 am
Nah.  I am probably just going to double the boxes everyone bought thus making them $10.00 boxes and then do $225 payouts instead of $450.

I got an email from someone last night but their board name wasn't in the email.  They want two boxes but I don't know who you are.  I know paypal is pretty secure but I still don't want to get scammed.

Anybody know someone with a board name of James Sbano?

Quote
Hello,
  My name is James Sbano, as is my board name.  I live in Germany but was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. When I realized I could watch the game in Germany live on T.V. , I searched the internet for a Super Bowl Pool that I could pay with paypal. When I typed in "Paypal Super Bowl Pool" your web page came up, and I deceided to give it a shot. Hopefully, I can have the 2 boxes that I have choosen, or 2 others, if they are already taken. If this is possible, please let me know where to send the money with paypal.
  Thank you and have a good evening.
     James Sbano :-)

I don't think I am going to give my paypal info to this guy unless someone on here say's yeah he posts all the time I know him.
Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: wmljohn on February 01, 2012, 12:44:21 pm
And why would this guy be trusting that I would pay him if he doesn't know me.

I know why you idiots would send me money (thatyouarenevergoingtoseeifyouwin) but for some random donk that just did a google search to trust a stanger with money?

 ???

Greece is a better risk then Otto.  Why is it communists like him never pay their debts?

Oh that's right they are waiting for Obama to redistibute the wealth...

Post by: wmljohn on February 02, 2012, 02:07:26 pm
UPDATE:

All the boxes are sold.  Had to reduce to $10 per box so if you spent $20 I put your name in another box as well. That means that the prize money will be $225 for each payout instead of $450.  Still good loot.  I am not picking numbers until tomorrow because some of the A-holes need to bring me money when they get paid tomorrow.

As soon as it is complete I will post the grid on here for you to see.  Check back tomorrow some time.

Hello,
  Sorry about the problems I seemed to have caused. I simply wanted to join a Super Bowl pool because they are very hard, if not impossible, to find here in Germany.
Please let me know if it is too late to still have the 2 boxes I chose (or 1 if that makes it easier) If not, thanks anyway, and good luck with the pool. Go Giants!
   All the best
     James  :)
Title: Re: 2012 SUPER BOWL POOL $1800 payout
Post by: wmljohn on February 02, 2012, 02:49:50 pm
Yeah.  I got all the boxes filled in and there are none left.

It was just weird having a stranger out of the blue wanting to join the pool.  I didn't know if you wanted to hack my paypal account once you got the information.  Were you undercover FBI and **** trying to tie me up to an international gamblign ring or what.

Hang around this Bears board if you want.  We have a good time and welcome fans from all the teams.  Hell we even have a few packers fans who hang out here.  Probably one too many (otter) but there here and we don't run them off.

Final Grid in case no one scrolls back to the first post.


$225 per payout since I had to knock them down to $10 per box to get it filled.  That means I doubled the number of boxes you get so everyone who paid the $20 got two boxes.  Don't forget to look for your second one.

Yeah.  His dad was a retired DC Cop that worked for us back when Jay was winning the Super Bowl with the Rams.  I remember he used to turn in his vacation requests as soon as the season schedule would come out because Jay used to fly him to all the games.   Home and away.

I was going to get in but I saw how empty the board was and he said he was going to donate the rest to the cheer squad.  It didn't seem like a good bet. Low pay out with little chance of winning.

If I had known he was going to split them if more boxes did not get sold I would have jumped in.

Havn't sent it yet.  I need to get to the bank and deposit the money.  I am going to be gone all weekend but I will be home on Sunday.  I will get to the bank on Monday and make the deposit then send via paypal.

I promise.  ;)

BTW - I need to ask if you are willing to donate any of the winnings to the Kids Senior Hip Hip team for their World Competition trip to Orlando.  I am obligated because I need to ask all the winners because the BOOSTERS did not hit a box.  Not to pressure you here one way or the other just email me with the answer.
