Dont forget to check out the AFC betting pool!!!
http://board.midibuddy.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87413

No knowledge, skill or talent necessary!!!!

MB members will buy squares for $100mb each.

AFTER the squares are sold the numbers will be put on randomly (the deck of cards is used to create random order).

Jeanie provides her example:
http://users.penn.com/~jeanie/5x5bettingsquare.gif

At the end of the first quarter we check the score… if the visiting team has a 2 or 7 at the end of their score and the home team has a 3 or 8 at the end of THEIR score then I win a predetermined percentage of the pot- 10% (which, if all the squares are sold at $100 each, means I get $250!)… at the end of the second quarter we check the scores again and maybe the percentage is a bit higher 15%, third quarter 20% and final score 50%… It’s a fun way for anyone – even people who don’t know the game or teams – to get involved.


1st Quarter- 10% - $250
2nd Quarter- 15% - $375
3rd Quarter- 20% - $500
Final Score- 50% - $1250

Final Score means the final score, not necessarily the score at the end of the 4th Quarter. That will solve the problem of overtime.

If all goes well, I'll do one for the Super Bowl. $10,000mb pot.

How about ART? That's A, R, and T.

And in the middle of ART is R, which puts me fortuitously in between two of Jeanie's...

Mmm, the best spot in the square! :smart:

And of course, this bet is dedicated to our frighteningly absent, former supermod, Art. :p

thats all i have to say about this

LOL... didn't see the games either and I'm glad I didn't heard it wasn't worth watching either one!

"o yea even the houston texans beat carolina... philly is just cursed" - Vin

Another sports team cursed like our "lovable loser" Cubs (http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay14.html)(who incidently are the faves for winning it all next year! The article also mentions another team down in Houston...) hmmmnnn... maybe it's got something to do with the cream cheese? :laugh:

and Jeanie I'm in the hole too LOL! not quite as much as you though *slips her a $100 for being the first to guess the number of secret links in that other thread dedicated to the prodigy... before she inspired me to follow Zel's footsteps and go "ubergeek"! ... that should ease the pain a bit? :laugh:*
