Well as most of you know..Or atleast I think most of you know Shadow_Link's wife is having a baby..And he has given me the go ahead to have a baby pool since it doesn't harm him, his wife of little Snow/Penguin.... the baby is due in like April..

So would anyone like to partake in this little baby pool.. it's only 100 dblns entry fee..... yeah that's it..Just make sure to pick a dater in April..I'm personally shooting for the 2nd... and not because it's my b-day.. Hopefully Link will be around to tell us when the baby is delivered....

I got an idea. Maybe Shadow Link can give like 20 dblns to gets the correct date.

I'll take April 19th.

Ok change of plans...

It will cost you 50 dblns to enter the pool....

Everyone will then take a date and make a bet..

All the money people bet will added to a pot...

The person who chooses the correct date will get 85% of the jackpot as their prize

To a very needy cause.....

The Get Penguin His Custom Rank Foundation

Where else?
And for the record.. all members who enter will have 50 dblns taken out of their account on Sunday when Kitana handles all her business

Penguin, that's BS.. you should get dblns for winning, not to enter and give to you.

I withdraw my bet because a) I don't have enough doubloons and b) This is total ******** ********

These dblns have created a monster... and that monster's name is BAB. I mean, come on. Why don't you give 100% of the dblns to the winner? I mean, that is just sad. Do the mods know that you are doing this? :hmm:

You people really do need to learn the politics of the world.. Let me explain just a little of what is happening.....

Everyone is paying a price to enter into the pool... Since I'm the one taking the bets... I'm the one collecting the money...

Everyone will then pick a date and make a bet... who ever would have won the pool would have got 85% of the jackpot.. since you people don't understand how booking goes... the winner will receive 95% of the money.. I till need to receive something for holding the bet....

And Shooter you have until Sunday to get 50 dblns.. how hard could that be?

Hard. I refuse to accept any doubloons that I don't earn.

So far I've durned down 21.

Just a question...


If you were given $21 for no particular would you take it? It doesn't matter who would give it to you, family, friends, complete stranger. I'm just wondering if you would take $21 if given to you for no apparent reason...

2 things:

1) BAB, your an idiot
2)It would have been rather nice if you would have told me about it... I'll check with Neo.. but I thought the entry fee was for SITE sponsered contests... At any rate... PM me with the entries when ever so I can do the doubloon stuff...

BTW: you're still an idiot.

Bond

I'm also withdrawing my entry.

P.S: BaB, I told you it would never work.

Neo

He asked me about being a "bookie", and I told him I didn't think it was necessary. I guess he went ahead anyway.

Well, Bond and Shadow Link both gave me .5 each, and BLueFire gave me 20 for no reason, and I had them both take them away.

I'd be willing to host this baby pool myself (if Kitana85 is up for it).

I actually thought BreakABone was joking, but I guess I still need to learn a few things about his sarcasm. :confused:

Anyways, I obviously have no reason to want keep a cut of the pool, so if you want to give it a second shot, submit your bets to me by replying here. Winner receives 100% of the jackpot. The cost of entry will be 50 doubloons, no more and no less. You are allowed to bet on the same date as someone else, and if Baby_Link (or whatever the baby's name is) is born on that date, the jackpot will be split.

Sound good? Or should I just give up?

BTW, Shooter, if you reply to any number of topics around here with a post that shows evidence of being well thought out, you can earn up to 75 doubloons.

All these topics are things that I don't know much about, or can't really think of an intelligent post to put in it.

I still think the fee for participating is wrong. Too bad the mods can't participate though. :(

I think I'll save my doubloons instead.

But then again, its only fifty doubloons.

i think the winner should get 50% and shadow_link should get 50%

Xantar

Why in the world should Shadow_Link get any doubloons? He just happens to be the incidental subject of the pool.

And besides, he's a moderator. He doesn't get doubloons.

Anyway, this pool isn't going so well. We'll see how many people bet by this Sunday. If there aren't enough, I'll scrap the idea.

I say that it will be on the 31

Never do a contest without telling kitana (and dont do a contest to often). You will be the death of kitana, soo much more work put on her because of YOU!

Ok, Im done.
