I think I would play this if me or anyone involved in bitinstant, bit-pay, or Gavin, or Erik Vorhees would hold the money.  I want to start firing BTC on sports games like this but I never want to send to a guy with 40 posts and a "good OTC" like Pirate / Patrick Harnet / Imsaguy / hashkings / etc etc

My plan was to just hold them on blockchain.info and then move them to a public address (public meaning you would all be able to view it) or leave them in their own deposit addresses until the game finishes. Honestly my original idea was to just have everyone keep their money, but then people wouldn't send if they saw they lost. And Also honestly I'm doing this to gain some cred, everything on the forums has been positive for me, and I'm thinking about starting a pooling website.
