Hey Everyone!
Well, it's been a few weeks since BryanH took down the NCAA Survivor Pool, the rest of you were just horrible, horrible losers. You entered the Survivor Pool with your little head filled with dreams and delusions of grandeur, and you woke up to the soul crushing reality that you aren't special, that you aren't a winner, and that you are certainly no BryanH. The Survivor Pool is a harsh mistress and add the end of the day, there can be only one winner.
BUT ALL IS NOT LOST!
May is just around the corner, and that means it is time for the Derby to descend upon us with all of it's fury. Sure, it is a horribly overrated race with stupidly expensive tickets that rarely produces a winner worth a damn. But, it is also a weekend of racing that attracts more dumb money than any other weekend of the entire year, and that leaves it ripe for the picking!
As you may remember, we ran this betting pool last year and did quite well. Just look at how we did last year:
WE LOST EVERYTHING
Oh, yeah, that actually isn't a great selling point. I guess some people would look at that and say, "Why would I put you idiots in charge of my money, if I want to lose I can do that on my own!" To that I would simply respond, "Yeah......you kind of have a point." But, maybe we're due? Do you really want to be sitting on the sideline while the rest of us are cashing a $40,000 pick 5*?
Ok, real quick, here is what this pool is...
We are going to take a few big swings at jackpot type bets, we're talking Pick 4's, Pick 5's, maybe a few superfectas. Last year's payouts sucked, and that's kind of why we didn't hit. We aren't looking to make a 5% profit, we're looking to hit something big. Or, even better, somethingS big....like, multiple things, because more is better than less.
What makes things even better? There doesn't have to be only one. WE CAN ALL WIN TOGETHER!
*Note - We probably won't hit a $40,000 pick 5.
Getting in on the fun is simple. The vast majority of you know how PayPal and Venmo work. Just send over your payment on your perferred platform to tourneypools@gmail.com, and we'll add you to the mix. On the actual days of betting, I'll be tweeting how we are doing on our Twitter handle "TourneyPools." If you prefer slow results, we'll post how we did on the following Sunday at the latest. Or, if there is interest in it, we might just create a Google Doc and update what's going on there, like we do with the NCAA Pools.
