FINAL GRID
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/wmljohn/SuperBowl.jpg)
-
Money for 1 square sent via Paypal. Let me have square 4 across and 3 down
-
You got it. That was a quick turnaround on the first box. BTW money is received.
-
I have no clue how this is working. What are the ? so how do we know what box we are picking means? I am assumming we are going by score but we don't even know which two teams are playing yet.
-
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..
-
sorry, I see the email now..
-
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?
-
Yep, really doesn't matter. People will pick a spot just 'cause they think "it's the lucky one"..
-
Got it. Thanks!
-
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.
-
Check yer email already....sheesh ....
-
Then why do we care what box we have at this point? Why not just pay for a spot?
I picked the 4 -3 spot for sentimental reasons. Really doesn't matter which box since the numbers are added later anyway
-
Crap. I was replying to myself on the BB. I got my personal email forwarded to work email so when I replied I replied to my email. DUH!
Sporyt and Chifan you both got mail.
-
5 down 3 across....you've got MAIL!
-
You are in sporty. Look at the first post.
-
Chifan - Got your box for you as well.
-
Thanks!
-
I did not get an email.
-
Did you email me?
-
Column 7, Row 9 if available. You've got mail.
-
No.
-
BearFan - Drop the $20 into the paypal account that we use for the Fantasy Football and I will fill that box with your name for you.
ISF - Same. Drop the $20, $40, $60 however many boxes you want into the paypal account and let me know the column and row you want and I will put your name in the box(es).
-
done.
-
Bill, I just sent money..... Is Column 2, Row 2 available?
-
Chiman - Look at the grid in the first post. 2.2 is taken
BearFan got you on the grid. 7.9
-
Bill, Give me 2,3 MJ's number how can that not win :)
-
Bill, Did you get my money?
-
Yes I received it.
-
The first post has been updated with the most recent grid...
-
I'll try to get that done today or tomorrow.
-
Put me down for 6.
Checks in the mail...
-
LOL!
-
I will give you 6 boxes otter once I recieve 140 via paypal. 120 for 6 boxes and 20 for two seasons of unpaid Fantasy Football.
-
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.

-
Hell. My oldest daughter bought two.
-
Alright, money sent. I'll need 1 box.
-
Got it. Column and row preference? Or you want me to just pick one?
-
I'll take the box at 9 across and 9 down
-
Done
-
Do you have the updated grid?
-
Looks like we're fukked, long way to go, short time to get there..
-
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.
-

Sounds like a good compromise..
-
Anybody know someone with a board name of James Sbano?
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.
-
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?
???
-
Can't believe it, but sure enough, did a search and this thread comes up..
-
That is probably not a good thing...
-
That guy is a better risk than Otto
-
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...
-
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 :)
-
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.
-
Get to know us and maybe next year we will do it again.
-
Yea you're more than welcome here and you're right GO GIANTS...hate the Patsies....
-
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.

BTW - That Jay Williams in the first box is the guy who works for me that won the Super Bowl with the Rams. Here is a great funny video of him getting pranked when he was playing for Davy Dumb Dumb down in Miami.

-
When I see him now I step back and say, "I'm giving you space because I don't want you in my ass Jay."
-
Tell him Mikey said, "he is a big PUUUSSSY!!!" Then give him Mikeys address... ;)
-
That was pretty damn funny. Seems like a pretty decent guy, big dude!
-
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.
-
Congrats Sportster!
-
I guess it pays to have God on your side!!!
Congrats sporty!
-
What happened?!? What'd I do? Did I win? Lol....
-
So how do I get my $225? Back through Paypal? Probably simplest deal, huh...
-
If you have an account I can send it. If not I can mail a check or money order or however you want me to get it to you. Send me an email and let me know.
-
Thanks for running that thing, WML.. Maybe next year we can get more folks involved earlier on..
-
Info sent via email for Paypal....
-
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.
-
Did I win?
-
I did....hope he didn't send the money to the wrong email....
-
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.
