Is that anything like a dingleberry?

Just make sure you save $50, that's all I have to say.

Third of all, under UIGEA, transferring funds to and from any internet
gambling venue is illegal if any US financial institution is involved
in the transfer.

As has been pointed out in another thread, Visa cards seem to work
with Carbon Poker.

I was thinking more along the lines of Val Kilmer (as Doc Holliday) in
Tombstone. Is brew still around? He should join again. Same as last year.
100 each and Hilton style (5 picks in the NFL per week)

I think he's at the Betty Ford Clinic right now. Coming home soon,
though.

Well, they need to cure that drinking in time for him to start gambling
again. Sounds like he's having a rougher go than I am lately.

He's got troubles. First thing to do is give a fuck about living. I
want to be a 100 and I'm damn sure doing something about it too,
changing my old ways, it's not too late. When I was young and stupid,
I didn't give a fuck. It's different now, a lot different. Life is
short, life is precious. Thank GOD for what I've had so far.

We've been doing it winner's choice. With this group, we pretty much know
each other so I don't have any strong feelings on it one way or the other.
I doubt doggy or brew would object to settling up any way you prefer.

Paypal would be my preference. Checks would be fine with me, too, but if
you're concerned about keeping your anonymity I don't mind just
mailing/acceptin cash with a nice card. When I won the last one, doggy owed
brew for something else so he paid brew, and I just instructed brew to give
the money to the nastiest street bum he could find, so I didn't even collect
officially and just trusted brew to do it.

Now, if all three of you huckleberries are in, and I win some mo-money, I
might change my mind if I win.

I did it, and then I paid it forward and had Jason do the same thing on an
NHL bet I won.

If you all would like, you can send picks to me, and once all are in I can
post them here.

100 bucks. It's done like the Hilton NFL contest. Must pick 5 NFL sides
per week (no totals or parlays), scored at +1 for a win and -1.1 for a loss.
Winner at the end has the most points. We can stop at the end of the
regular season or go through the SB which is my preference. I don't think
there is a rule that they all have to posted at the same time, e.g., if I
like a Thursday game I can post it only and then the others later. In my
mind, as long as a player posts five games prior to the kickoff of each game
that's good enough.

Susan's idea is actually pretty good. I've done this contest on the old
rec.gambling.sports when it was going on and if two or more players are
neck-and-neck it's not good one to know the picks of the other.

I think sending them to Susan and then she posts them all at the same time
is a good idea.

Thanks. I really like that idea. Probably will do it that way unless
someone objects. What is your e-mail?

I just set up a new one for something like this. If Mo doesn't want his
email known he can do the same thing.
