As long as a trusted escrow is receiving/holding the money it I'm in for a traditional bracket and squares. I think a confidence pick em is good, but it would need to be for every day and that's a lot to keep up with for everyone involved. Same with a survivor, it takes a ton of planning and everyone needs to check in pretty much every day which is going to be tough for some people.
I have experience running both brackets and March Madness squares so I can assist with the set up and can let you know what kind of payout structures work for ones I've held before. Again, assuming we can get an escrow to take/hold/payout the funds.
As far as the planning goes, idk if you've seen officefootballpool.com, but it takes care of everything for you. I've run several pools through it. Regarding escrow, I think it would be pretty simple to find someone trusted to do so for us for a small fee. The confidence pick isn't needed every day...you pick your 16 teams ahead of time and they are your teams all the way through. I'll see if this generates more interest and if we have at least 10 people interested I'd be willing to give it a shot. Right, I was talking more about the squares payouts. We do half time and full times for all 63 games and have a pretty solid breakdown with escalating %s (so the championship game is worth the most). With the confidence picks, I'm used to doing them every day, not once. Either way, we've got a week I'm sure the closer it gets the more interest we'll have. I really like the idea of the square pool with half time and finals...lots of chances to win. Only problem with that is you need to fill 100 boxes. Any other type can technically run with any amount of people. |

I can run one if anyone is interested...I'd probably use officefootballpool.com...its the easiest way to track and enter picks. We can use an escrow for funds if necessary (Devthedev?)
Rather than a typical bracket, I was thinking maybe a survivor, pick 16, or squares
Survivor rules - pick one team every day of the tournament. You advance if that team wins - you can only pick a team once all tournament
Pick 16 rules - pick 16 teams and rank them 1-16...you pick your most confident team as 16, next confident 15, etc. You get the number of points you assigned them for every win they get in the tournament
Squares rules - basically like a typical Super Bowl...you get 2 numbers (winning and losing team) and every game you can win (ex. if you get winning 6 and losing 3...you would win a game that had a score of 76 73, or 56 43, etc.). The amount you win per game goes up by round.
I was thinking something like a 0.1 BTC buy in. What would you guys prefer as the game type?

That's frightening. Whenever I buy a computer that has windoze first thing I do is format the hard drive.
When you try to tell them there's a better way their eyes glaze over and they think you're trying to say you're "better than them". Well, not necessarily. But when people write stuff like, "People still use windows?" it definitely takes on an "I'm better than you" connotation. |

Just here to post my weekly crybaby gripe about the fact that apparently swc is windoze only  Seriously, how many people actually still run windowz? Aka "I'm better than everyone who uses windows" .... A lot of people still use windows...A LOT |

One thing I don't like about the new software is it doesn't show your opponent's hole cards on an all in until after the board is run out, and then they are shown so quick you have no idea what happened. It's almost like a primedice, you just click a button and it tells you if you won or lost.
I liked the way the old software (and most sites), shows both person's hole cards after all the chips get in, then the turn and river come one at a time.
Other than that, new site is awesome.

Didn't see my rakeback hit yet...coming today or something that still needs to be sorted out?
first rakeback paid most likely next monday. We are still developing back-end systems. ST7 launched a poker site in a matter of days. Need time to build essential systems. Yup understood, just wanted to know whether or not to expect it today. Thanks! Keep up the awesome work! |

Wow!! That was quick! Thanks Sir. he must have had good luck at a gambling site. #gamblingloan Yes...I did well today...the loan was to try the new Seals with Clubs software. In another thread where I applied for a loan (ended up loaner had too many open so didn't get it) he had a reason as part of the application, and I put exactly that, not trying to hide anything. And if I lost...I just buy the BTC from coinbase to pay back. |
