#1 Posted: 1/2/2008 4:32:27 AM Ok heres the deal. Each person that would like to meet in vegas will put $50 in the pot from now till superbowl. Then on the superbowl all the money goes onto a parlay with the side and the total. If we win all the money is then used to book corporate rate hotel rooms at a big strip hotel and the rest is given out individually for airfare food etc.
We will need a mod to hold all the money and place the bet and help arrange the trip. For the mods work and the fact that we can alll trust him the mod or mods that agree will be cut in as an equal partner without having to put in the $50 .
If we lose no big deal its not the end of the world but it will make for a damn good super bowl game either way.
The way the parlay will be chosen will be a vote system and whichever side and total gets more votes thats the way the parlay will go.
So I ask of you mods of covers ! One of you please agree to this and then you can get the $50 from each poster that is interested and we can finally have a covers convention.
Also people that wanna make a $50 donation just to see it happen but cant or dont wanna go we will take a shitload of pictures for you all to see.
THIS CAN HAPPEN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN !!

#7 Posted: 1/2/2008 8:41:52 AM There would be alot of details (maybe to many) that would need to be ironed out. With the amount of immature people on this site (bashing etc), it may never work because you would never get them to be serious enough to do it..... |

#12 Posted: 1/2/2008 8:05:36 PM A $50 investment would only return $180 on two team parlay, but that's supposed to cover hotel, food, airfare for each person IF IT WINS 
What's the point of even doing this for $180.00  |

#24 Posted: 1/30/2008 10:06:51 PM Stupid idea...You obviously have no idea how Vegas works. You also don't understand how air fares work. Whackjobs like you should be killed at birth.  |
