6heart6breaker6 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 You guys ever hear of an "anti-3 goal deficit pool"? It's a cool idea.. And we could do it here.. Here's how it works.. Each person drafts teams.. Serpentine style until every person has an even amount of teams and not enough are left to continue. Then.. The last person with a team left that doesn't lose by 3 or more goals wins the pot. So say 7 people join.. Each person would get 4 teams, and 2 teams would go "undrafted". I think it'd be fun if we did that on here.. Each guy throws down $10-$20 and you could buy yourself a sweet record or something with the winnings.. If anyone is interested let me know. Never heard of it, but into it big time. I'm sure I can look this up, but due to laziness and the sheer passion for others' continued curiousity, is it rare for a team to not lose by 3 or more goals in a season?

I'm sure I can look this up, but due to laziness and the sheer passion for others' continued curiousity, is it rare for a team to not lose by 3 or more goals in a season? I think it'd be pretty rare for a team to not lose by 3 in a season. My local radio station does this with their hosts.. I think it took about 2 months for the final person to be out..I think 5 people is a good number.. $10 a piece.. 6 teams a piece.. 1. Littlebistro 2. Jeffersonhowell 3. 6heart6breaker6 4. Ianrees 5. MikeT. 6. Pickrunner18 I'll randomize by those numbers later and I'll start a message with everyone later. We just gotta draft our teams before the start of the season. I'll update daily which teams are out. If one more person wants in before tonight we could do 6 people 5 teams a piece.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 so once a team loses by 3 or more goals, or more than 3 goals? just want to make sure that is clear for me/anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 over a 48 game season, theres a chance a team or two could go the whole way without giving up 3 or more goals. albiet slim... im gunna win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm not splitting my winnings with no one. I say their needs to be a tiebreaker. Maybe whoever had the second place team that went the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebistro Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Sounds good. And if the last two guys go out on the same date.. Most games played will decide then if that's the same we'll do 2nd longest streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebistro Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This pool is seriously all luck, haha. On another note, went to the Sabres open scrimmage tonight.. 10,175 people for a scrimmage. It was nuts. I sat above the players tunnel and made fun of Kaleta and Leino. Also, the Sabres store had 50% all their merchandise so I bought a new jersey.

littlebistro Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Can't go wrong with a jersey for $83. Went with Marcus Foligno. I was so tempted to get a Grigorenko jersey, he looked awesome tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looking forward to buying some tickets to a Wild game when they go on sale tomorrow. I'm looking into being more than just a casual fan of hockey this year, after watching a lot of playoff games last year. They were so fun to watch.

IanRees Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 its basically just the Gomez/Redden rule, theres no way the PA was going to let NYR/MTL not let either of them play at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
