    Who's interesting in doing a Money Pickem League?

    And if you are could you take my survey below.

    How much would you be willing to pay as an entry fee to play?

    What percentage of players or how many players would you like to see payed out at the end?

    Would you wanna use the exact rules of the current game or would you wanna amend some rules? If you'd wanna make changes what types of changes?

    This game would likely have an escrow to hold the entry fees for the duration of the game. Who would you most trust to be the escrow among NSB members or mods?

    Do you have any ideas or questions about this idea that maybe helpful or things others are curious about as well?

      I would trust Bob to hold the money

      Top 3 should be payed out

      I'm cool with the current rules

      I don't know why but Bob just seems like a trustworthy guy

        This thread is much appreciated broski

        How much would you be willing to pay as an entry fee to play?
        $10-50

        What percentage of players or how many players would you like to see payed out at the end?
        Depends on the buyin and number of players. If the pool ends up being like $200, we should just pay it out to 1st. If the pool is like $1000, you could pay a few people.

        Would you wanna use the exact rules of the current game or would you wanna amend some rules? If you'd wanna make changes what types of changes?
        I'm open to whatever. The multipliers became popular last year despite initially being unpopular when I announced the game. But I could play a version w/o them.

        This game would likely have an escrow to hold the entry fees for the duration of the game. Who would you most trust to be the escrow among NSB members or mods?
        One of the mods is not a bad idea. Or a long-term regular poster who participated in most of last year's pickems if need be.

            I'm cool with anything upto about £20 (or $25) - or as suggested by EffPandas elsewhere - the equivalent in ******

            Winner takes all

            Happy with current rules

            EffPandas, BroBob or Cobra are good with me to hold funds. Redd too, if he's in.

            Ideas?... I'll think on that.. Right now I got some boxing to watch though.

              Yeah 50$ sounds about right

              Agree with brobob on this, depends on the buy ins and the number of players

              The rules we have right now are fine but I'd add a bonus for picking the exact round of the KO if you picked a fighter to win by KO and the fight ends that way. Meaning if a fighter wins in round 7 and you picked him to win in rounds 5-8 you get all the points you get if you picked him in the regular pick em, but if you picked him to win in the seventh you get an additional bonus, if you picked him to win in the sixth you don't

              Bob or one of the mods likely mega or TBear

                ^ if theres more than 20 ppl i think there should be a top 3 prize with the most number of perfect predictions getting a bonus prize too.

                if 25 people all pay 20£

                1st - 350£

                2nd - 75£

                3rd - 50£

                most PP - £25

                  LOL I don't want anything to do with the escrow, but I am planning to track an equal amount of $ to this games prizepool into a altcoin(s) of my choosing & tracking what the prizepool coulda been if we had taken my strategy for my own entertainment.

                  I think Redd said he's out in another thread, but that doesn't mean he couldn't still escrow.

                  I kinda like this idea. Pinpointing the exact round seems fairly luck based anyway which is why I prefer picking a range of rounds as we do in the current game (& generally thats how I make predictions on my own anyway with a range of rounds instead of one specific round if I'm picking a stoppage), but I like throwing a cherry on top if you do hit the exact round.
