If you are taking your winnings copy and paste the whole post and put your name below the last name on the list here (unless you are first then just put your name)
To be clear I do not want to organize the main pool bet or play. I do not want to handle the money and make a terrible bet as apparently Romes did last time.
I would also suggest we kick in 5-10 bucks each in the "Parlay" group and maybe make a couple different plays or a bigger play just my two cents and nothing wrong with letting it ride. I am down for sports parlay, VP run, and just about anything else other than a bunch of lottery tickets

I wouldn't give Romes a hard time about it. As I recall, it wasn't a bad bet, it just didn't hit.Quote: troopscottTo be clear I do not want to organize the main pool bet or play. I do not want to handle the money and make a terrible bet as apparently Romes did last time.
Romes was going to make the bet. We all agreed on a 1/2 point parlay. He was supposed to make the bet on a particular weekend but was unable to for whatever reason. That week turned out to be monstrous and would have turned our few hundred into a few thousand. The next week he made bet but we struck out and ended with nothing.
So some of us like to give him a hard time for fun, but dont really mean it. I am sure romes gets annoyed with it especially when people comment that know nothing of the story.
I agree with everything SOOPOO said, except that I am in a manic Cut & Paste state. :D So, here ya go:Quote: SOOPOOI am not in a cut and paste mood. However I am in the big pool and will be with whatever the group wants to do. I am not putting any additional money in, I think that is very silly as it will just make things messy. I am hoping the big pool will take Axel up on his offer to do some sort of advantage play.

Love that Axel's "digs" at me (that weren't true) caught on.Quote: troopscott...To be clear I do not want to organize the main pool bet or play. I do not want to handle the money and make a terrible bet as apparently Romes did last time...
I had no power in the decision making of the GROUP as a whole that VOTED to put the money on 1/2 point parlays... So yay everyone voted what to do with the money, but somehow I get the blame since the 1/2 point parlay bets didn't pull through.
And here's the confusion. I was leading the discussion and NEVER AGREE TO IN PERSON PHYSICALLY PLACE ANY BETS... as I don't live in Vegas so how on Earth could I even? Somehow someone along the way thought I was supposed to make the bets (that we had yet to agree upon). That's the other thing... the weekend that we would have won a lot, we had not yet agreed as a group to even place the bet. I don't mind the casual pokes, but all of them over time have led to the story getting massively morphed.Quote: GWAE...He was supposed to make the bet on a particular weekend but was unable to for whatever reason...
Subsequently, I'll vote, but want NOTHING MORE responsibility wise to do with our big pool money here.

So I basically had the reason correct. I went back read the thread as to what happened. I think everyone puts it on you is because you took charge and created that thread. Everyone wanted to get the bets in on that good week but you posted that you are not in vegas and asked for help getting bets in. No one agreed or stepped up and the thread went into silence for a few days.
So I guess really it was the fault of the vegas people for not stepping up, but a bet most of them got bets in for themselves.

I have already instructed the Wizard to send my money to Axel. OD, I really wish you would join us. If it is your goal to give to charity, please let the free +EV Axel is giving us be eventually given to your charity. Join us! And knowing you, even if we blow the whole wad, you can still donate the small amount we are talking about to charity. Come on! Join the gang!

I just gave my instructions to Wizard and I don't wish to burden him with yet another PM.
However, I'll 'invest' in Axel's extra bet, to the tune of that $13.79 on behalf of charity, if Axel will take payment off me by paypal, and then when he's amplified it for me, if he'll forward my increased share to charity on my behalf.... If that makes sense.

Folks, This is an updated list of 'Big pool' members and their instructions received so far. If your name is not yet marked with your decision, please PM OnceDear
Now... the 'I'm going to gamble column has been renamed to 'Send Funds To AxelWolf for him to gamble'. because that has been pretty much the strong implication of what is to happen. If anyone is tagged as 'Yes, and disagrees with that, then please speak up.
I think many people know I'm a big advocate of NOT spreading AP information online publicly for many different reasons. loose lips DO sink AP ships. While this information isn't a big deal or some big secret, it only takes one wrong person finding out to spoil it for everyone. We do occasionally take advantage of them when friends, family, and certain members come to town, so I'm sure many members here know a few things I will be targeting.Quote: troopscottQuote: OnceDearThanks SooPoo,Quote: SOOPOOQuote: prozema

No worries I was just curious if it was a parlay or something else Thanks for taking the reigns and making it happen

Thanks Axel,
I was just looking to verify that you are the guy who will be doing or coordinating this 'reinvestment'. Didn't want to take too much for granted.
I'm happy for you to go and do your thing without too much detail, just when and the result would probably do.
Specific detail could be PM'd as required.
Thanks again.
As I said before, I'm not doing the parlays. After I'm done, people can ask someone else like perhaps Mike, TomG, Riggs, MaxPen, Bill etc etc if they want to take on that task. Its a pain in the ass, especially if you want full value. Who knows how closely they will be watching it this year. They get rather jumpy at times.Quote: OnceDearThanks Axel,

Yes, just not the parlays. I gave an example in one of my other posts.Quote: OnceDearYou were going to do some sort of modest reinvestment, though?
I have communicated with Keeneone and it seems as if he is eligible and willing to assist.
Excellent. Thanks in advance to both of you..Quote: AxelWolfYes, just not the parlays. I gave an example in one of my other posts.
I have communicated with Keeneone and it seems as if he is eligible and willing to assist.
I look forward to seeing what Axel can achieve.
So, shout out to gordonm888, jufo81 and dalex64 . Guys, please let me know if your funds are to be extracted or redirected to AxelWolf for his 'reinvestment' in an advantage play.
Shoutout also to all those guys who went solo. Please let Wizard know how you want to extract your funds... Especially SodaWater, who rejects PM's
Those are two completely different issues, whether you pooled, and whether you want to play in the group betting after the end of the game.
Quote: beachbumbabsOne last time I'm going to mention this, because it gets overlooked. If anyone who was NOT in the Big Pool wants their winnings to go into Axel's play, they should be able to designate that. They will just be in for whatever % their actual money represents as opposed to an equal share with Big Pool people.
Those are two completely different issues, whether you pooled, and whether you want to play in the group betting after the end of the game.
And a reminder from me, though I'm not involved.....
It seems only fair that whatever Axel manages to do with the funds, Wizard gets a free and equal share as a gesture of appreciation.
Anyone object?
No! Good! Thought not!
