how about a .info super bowl squares game?

i\'m not gonna explain how it works. if you don\'t know, read this. basically: it\'s random, it\'s a lottery, and it\'s fun.

i don\'t think i could get 100 squares sold at $5 each, so i\'m gonna make them 2 for $5. you can buy as many as you want, as long as you buy an even number.

want squares? request a paypal invoice in this thread (or pay me in person), along with your email address, how many squares you want, and which squares you want (B4, F6, etc).

IMPORTANT: if you are paying by paypal, DO NOT mention gambling, super bowl, or anything of the sort in your payment. paypal will be $5 + $0.50 to cover fees.

numbers for the squares will be drawn AT RANDOM, once all the squares have been sold/filled (the numbers/letters that are there now are there strictly for identity purposes).

the payouts at this price structure will be as follows:

1st Q: $25
Halftime: $75
3rd Q: $25
Final: $125

if we happen to fill the grid with ease, and there is more interest, i have no problem doing a second grid.

I\'m thinking about it.

After the Pats loss on Sunday I don\'t really have any interest in the game. Perhaps this is my solution.

send me an invoice. i\'ll take 4 squares now. more later perhaps

Did negrini pick his squares yet? If not then there are only 58 to go.

worse comes to worse, get it to 50, then have everyone pick double the amount they have already put in (so $5=4 squares, $10=8, etc) and cut the prize values in half. I\'d really hate to see this fall apart again.

Wow,
to my complete ignorance concerning this seasons football politics, I had no idea colts beat the pats last week untill I looked at the squares grid. I was getting so frustrated watching that game last week when the colts were taking a beatin from the pats so I turned it off. What a great surprise...

davepeck · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2007, 09:03:29 pm »
