So Bird... I got into a $25 Pick the loser betting pool. The object is to pick a team that will lose every week. You can pick the team more than once... The first week 600 people lost out. The payout last year was 7K...
Who would you pick this week?

Either the Browns against the Ravens or the Panthers.I don't see the Jimmy Clausen era starting out smoothly.

It seems safe but you're betting on a team to win that lost last week.

Week 1. Welcome everyone to another year of the loser pool. Here we go with the
totals. 2996 entries, $74,900. The major upsets were Houston, Seattle, Kansas
City, and Washington. We lost a total of 633 entries, which makes a share worth
$31.69. The first couple of weeks always seem to be the toughest. Good luck in
week 2.
I need to find out what the payouts are... almost 75K! Surely they pay out more than one place.

I'm withholding my advice until we negotiate my % of the 75K.

Sounds like the league goes all the way through the superbowl.. at them time.. you split the money with however many people are left. Last year the payout was 7K per person.

to be exact we collected the money and various human attributes made of gold (teeth) to make us filthy rich.
I mean seriously look it out that nazi and world war victory is a thing that occured in between you and the other stupids. Go yell that to the others.

nicker:
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

Its Carolina or Jacksonville.Clausen isnt beating New Orleans and after watching the Eagles game I noticed that the Jag's are basically done.They have no confidence in Garrard.Down 20 points with 8 minutes to go and they still ran the ball.

I'm leaning towards Denver on the road at baltimore or Tampa on the road I cincy... I fucking hate the idea of both those games.
Maybe I should take the cardnials against the saints. Think an undrafted rookie can beat the super bowl champs?

I would take the cards.Denver is feisty and the bengals blow.I picked up the Ravens D after some dumbass dropped them but I'm not starting them over my current D new orleans after I saw Phoenix was starting the rookie.

Week 4 Update. Almost a major upset weekend with 95% of the pool on Carolina,
Detroit and San Francisco. Jacksonville accounted for the majority of entries
that went out. We lost a total of 116 entries, and we're down to 1748 entries.
Share price is now worth 42.85. Good Luck in week 5!
I had detroit last week... it could have been down to 93 players had those 3 upsets happened... that'd be crazy this early in the season.
