What if we started a block pool for the Superbowl. We could sell each block for $5 which would make the block pool worth a total of $500. (100 blocks)
Then we could break it down for each qtr payout to be like:
1qtr- 50
2qtr- 100
3qtr- 50
Final- 150
I would charge $50 to run this and then the remaining $100 would be donated to TTP?
Payments could be sent via paypal. I could just select blocks randomly then when they are all filled out I could have on of the TTP admins not playing select random numbers for the sides. I'd assume most of you know how these block pools work? Tell me what you guys think?
thanks,
Chris

Re: Crazy Idea. Superbowl block Pool
Really? You'd try and charge a $50 "administration" fee for doing football squares? But you have to be careful here. Depending on state law, this would fall under "social gambling" and if the state allows it would be legal as long as all the money is payed out. What you are suggesting could be technically illegal, and I don't know if TTP would want to condone illegal behavior.
