$10 - 125/250/125/500(final score)
$25 - 300/650/300/1250(final score)
$50 - 625/1250/625/2500(final score)
$200 - Pays on every score change & final score
Even though it didn't fill at $250 and I had to drop it to $125, the "every score change" board seemed to be mostly well received last year, so we're going to run it back. Only this year I'm dropping it to $200. If it doesn't fill, it'll either run with blank squares or again be cut in half - depending on how many sell.
Here's how this board works - every time points go on the board, somebody wins. If a field goal is the first score, whoever has 3-0 wins. If the next score is a touchdown by the other team, 3-6 wins. When the extra point gets kicked, 3-7 wins. Easy enough? Good. The end of quarters or halftime don't matter in this pool. Final score does. Whoever has the final score right will be the big winner. Instead of having one set amount for each score change, or a set amount for the final score winner, and risking a high or low scoring game taking away from the spirit of this pool, I'm going with a sliding scale.
of score changes
1-5 = $1200 per change
6-8 = $800
9-12 = $600
13-25 = $400
25+ = everything split evenly
Here it is broken all the way down
Score changes = Amount per score change / Amount to final winner(in addition to the money from the final score change)
1 = 1.2k per change / 8.8k to the final
2 = 1.2k / 7.6k
3 = 1.2k / 6.4k
4 = 1.2k / 5.2k
5 = 1.2k / 4k
6 = 800 / 5.2k
7 = 800 / 4.4k
8 = 800 / 3.6k
9 = 600 / 4.6k
10 = 600 / 4k
11 = 600 / 3.4k
12 = 600 / 2.8k
13 = 400 / 4.8k
14 = 400 / 4.4k
15 = 400 / 4k
16 = 400 / 3.6k
17 = 400 / 3.2k
18 = 400 / 2.8k
19 = 400 / 2.4k
20 = 400 / 2k
21 = 400 / 1.6k
22 = 400 / 1.2k
23 = 400 / 800
24 = 400 / 400
25 = 400
Last year there were 13 score changes and the average has been about 14 over the past 10 years.
I'm sure there will be questions, so ask away.
Got me some winners this year: P7-KC4 in the $100
Earl brayed me into taking 4 × $25 squares for him. If you don't know who Earl is he is my dumb ass.
Spoiler
I about lost it when I saw his name on a board this morning! Since his name is in the square, it's his money if those squares hit. May Earl eat high on the hog for the next month!
Consider them a gift. Enjoy!
I don't know if it's good or bad that I logged in this morning to buy more squares only to find out they were filled last night.
Sorry I might have missed this but a touchdown as a first score is that 1 or 2 scores in the 100$ any score pool? (e.g. 0-6 score 1 and the kick for 0-7 as the 2nd score)
Hey Yak, how ya been?
0-6 is a winner and so is 0-7...
damn ec, I was just about to make my 1st positive contribution to this (or any other thread)...
