So far....

so a player can sit back and watch our winning percentages then decide if they want to get in ?? sounds like an unfair advantage, clearly. if everyone was hitting below 500 pct then everyone would want to get in. if all of us were hitting a high percentage then noone would want to join. it should just be the 7 of us who paid, and if this guy is paid then his money should be in the pot and then it doesnt matter if he plays or not at that point. i personally am waiting for stats to compile, then i will be active. but im paid so it doesnt matter if i make picks or not.

It's not an unfair advantage...the guy still has to make a MIN of 125 picks to even qualify for a cash prize..everyone does..that way nobody sits on a lead at least until they reach the Min level of picks in the pool

What he's saying is there should be a total of 8 players in the pool. Currently there are only 7 in the standings. From what you have said, "I know there's an 8th player, but until I see some picks from this player, I won't add the $$$ to the pot yet". That is problematic because that 8th player, if he has already paid, whether or not he makes picks is irreleveant. Once you pay, that money is in the pot. If anything that 8th player sounds like the situation that rudie and myself are in; we have paid, but we have not made any picks yet. Doesn't matter that we haven't played, our money is in the pot. What it sounds like you are allowing is for this 8th player to sit back and watch our winning %'s. And if we are all hitting a good %, this guy can then say "wow these guys have a good lead, I better not get in" and then won't make any picks. His money should not be held. You can't wait to see what other players are doing before deciding if he wants to pay.

$800 in the pot....he can wait & make his MIN 125 picks whenever he wants..there are no refunds in any of my pools...as long as he makes his 125 picks I don't care when he makes his picks...the guy entering is a great guy & has been in my pools for years ...I have no problems with when he makes his picks..He told me before entering the pool that he was going to wait to make his picks until the new year once NCAA FB was over...he has until June to make his MIN 125 picks & if he reels off an incredible run good for him...but just like everyone else in here you can't just sit on a lead..you need to make the MIN 125 picks in the pool or you get dq'd from any cash prize if you don't make it to that MIN it's stated right in the rules..I understand what you guys are saying but it's his right to pick when he wants..there's no "start date" that has to be made picks by..

You're exactly right, although you've completely missed our point. Your original post stated, "I won't put his money into the pot until I see his picks". It wasn't about him making his picks, when he starts making those picks, or the integrity of the player. It was about him being in or out from the start. Because again, the way you worded it, says that until he makes a pick, his money is not in the pot. Which again, goes back to us saying that he could wait and see how the other players are doing and decide if he wanted to get in the pool or not. That's all.

You know what..I apologize..it wasn't even SBL that we were waiting on...he just forgot he was in the pool..that's all there...there's actually another guy that wants in the pool...but he stated that he wouldn't enter the pool until after the NCAA FB season ended..it wasn't SBL at all...this other guy just wants to wait to football ends...he hasn't paid to get into the pool yet so we'll see if he even enters..he may or may not..as of now we have 8 in here..

Listen, I hate to be a pain in the ass, but again, you'd be letting someone sit back and look at our records and decide if he wants to get in. This "9th" guy should not be allowed in the pool because he hasn't paid yet. Payment should've been required within the first week of the NBA tipping off. If he wanted to wait till college football ended to make picks, that would've been fine IF he got his money in back at opening week of the NBA season. No new players should be joining at this point and there should be $800 in the pot.

"ANOTHER GUY" Its amazing how you dont see the advantage for a player to decide if they want in after they see the results of the other players that hes up against. it has nothing to do with when he makes his picks. i guarantee he wont get in if all of us have real good records, on the other hand if were all doing poorly, hell jump right in. do you understand this angle. because if thats how you run your pools then ill be watching closely all other pools and ill pick the pools that everyone is doing bad in all id have to do achieve amediocre record and i could easily win. no other contest anywhere will let you enter once the contest has started. because of this advantage. as around in the forum and see the feedback you get, if you dont i will.
