The 1st Annual SNAIL SUPERBOWL OFFICE POOL is now live


CLICK HERE FOR THE SHEET



8aef37934fb678f477670b813a94e45b.jpg



I'm actually pretty happy with how it looks. I've learned a lot in Excel lately.


So what is this?
Every SuperBowl Sunday thousands of these "Office Pools/squares" are used amongst friends and co-workers in the workplace or at parties to gamble on the game. No skill required - its all luck.

How does it work?
Instead of typing it all out here just watch this video. Its the shortest one I could find on Youtube.


Are we playing for money?
Yes and no. We're playing with $hells

How much per square and how many can I buy?
1 $hell per square and for right now the max amount you can buy is 5.

How do I buy one?
Just reply to this thread that you want X amount of $hells. If you want to pick your own specific squares list the coordinates for each one.
For example the squares I have already chosen are:
C,11
E,9
G,5
I,6
L,13

If you dont care which squares you get I'll just pick randomly for you. Remember, no one knows which numbers they have. Every square has the same chance of winning.

Who do I send the $hells to?
I will be escrowing escargoting the entire 100$hells.

How do I send?
Visit the link below and fill out the form. Make sure you select the recipient as SAMHAIN85
CLICK HERE FOR $HELL TRANSFER FORM

What are the payouts?
Originally I was thinking of doing a 50/50 split. 50$hells for halftime and 50$hells for final score.
But with the final score being more significant than the halftime score we're doing a 70/30 split.
Halftime score: $30 $hells
Final score: $70 $hells

When do we draw the numbers?
Once the sheet gets filled and all 100 squares are bought we will randomize the numbers. I'll try to think of something clever to do it. Like somehow using SNAIL race data from the previous week before the SuperBowl or something. If I cant we'll just do it the traditional way.

So now you've got something to look forward to while you watch the game. Once the game is over I'll transfer the winners their $hells.

I'll leave a link to this in my signature for the next few weeks to remind people about this. Dont be afraid to ask any questions. Were still a few weeks out from the SuperBowl but its never too early to start one of these. Good luck!​

Hey guys, for right now lets cap the amount of squares you can buy to 5. That way it wont fill up too quickly and itll give everyone in SNAIL a chance to grab squares.

If theres still empty squares a few days prior to the game then you guys are more than welcome to more squares.

If you already transferred 10 $hells to me, I'll send you guys back 5 $hells each later today.

I cant update the sheet from my phone so I'll be doing it nightly when I'm at home.

Two square, random
 
SAMHAIN85
For the first time ever in SNAIL we hosted a Fantasy Football League this season with @stelephant bringing home the gold (and $50 in amazon gift cards)

To piggyback this and the new Marketplace re-launch - we will be doing our first ever SNAIL Super Bowl Office Pool - using $hells!

View attachment 791251
There will be 100 $hells up for grabs, with the half time score paying 50$hells and the final score paying 50$hells.

I'm sure some of you are familiar with how it works as its commonly played in the workplace and at parties. But for those that dont - its simple. Think of it as a SNAIL Lottery. It takes absolutely 0 skill and 100% luck.

Each square will cost you 1 $hell. So dont forget to collect the $hells that are owed to you for completing one of the many duties in SNAIL found in the form

Details will be announced soon. And the Super Bowl is right around the corner - Sunday February 3rd.

two please random and thank you for taking the time and effort
 
If @Neutty is cool with doing it, maybe he can be the one to randomize the pool numbers since he has a webcam on his stream. Maybe the Sunday before the superbowl as were sitting in the lobby waiting to start.

The way we do it with real money ones is to use a deck of cards and designate a certain suit for each team. And then use the face value of each card to determine the number. Since Neutty has a webcam he could hold it up to the camera.

Lets say:
Spades-AFC
Hearts-NFC

Grab the ace of spades through the 10 of spades, and do the same with hearts.
Shuffle all 20 cards together and draw.

Lets say the first card you draw is the 5 of hearts. We would fill in #5 in the first box in the NFC column. Then put that card aside and draw again. 4 of spades is next, so #4 would be the first box in the AFC column. Repeat until all 20 numbers are filled in.

The Ace represents 1 and the 10 represents 0. All other cards are face value.

I can randomize the numbers myself but it gives people more peace of mind knowing theres 'proof' its random.

I will take 5 squares (C4, F6, J8, E13, and L12)
Unless someone has one of those, I don't think so though..
 
I’ve alwaya wanted to say this in this thread so everyone knows, I know no one really likes the number plates that are default in the livery editor, but if you turn it on when making your paint scheme, set the number you want, and turn it back off, your number is above your head when racing. I may be the only one that still drives with the numbers and names above everyone but everyone has a 0 because no one sets their number lol

I was wondering what that number was for. Now I have learned something new today. If only there were a way to not see the names above the cars at all.

Actually. You can turn it on, set your number you want them turn it back off and your number stays. I’ve been doing this for a while. So if you want a number to show up but not have the ugly number block on the car you can do that
