    NCAA Squares

    A few folks have signed up - thanks! I am under 40 squares remaining if anyone else is interested in giving it a try.
  3. I am on a couple smaller schools today. Marist and Canisius. May do Manhattan and Xavier too.
  4. Yuck. Just a bit off on Minnesota. Back to the board for today.
  5. Go Minnesota tonight. Love the spot as a home dog with UM having a big matchup on tap.

    NCAA Squares

    Great question. A few years back, I was considering canceling the pool just due to the time I put into it. Anyway, my friend suggested adding a dollar to the fee - mainly for time, but also for the people who needed me to snail-mail their winnings. $101 seemed dumb, so we went to $105 and I send the $4 from each entry goes to charity. It's kind of a win-win that way. I actually thought a bunch of folks would cancel when I added the $5, but now I have even more interest. So much, that I have two pools this year (200 total squares between them), the first is filled and I have about 50 left on the second. I am totally fine having people PM me if interested. It really is a lot of fun. To summarize, you get a winning team number and a losing team number for each square. You win if you match - so if you had 8 and 5, you would win any game that matches that number (78-75, 68-55), but not the other way around (75-68). I pay out on every game other than the play-in games with the payout getting higher with each round. I pay everything out for the pools outside of the administrative/charity portion, so 10K comes gets paid with 4K being the top prize (not bad for a $105 investment). Thank you for responding. I appreciate it. I really want to be respectful of rules here. Typically I just read what everyone writes, but occasionally will have something to say. Go the Brewers (as I like to say on Twitter)!
  7. Please let me know if not allowed, but I thought I would check. I run an NCAA squares pool each year. $105 entry and $4K top prize. If it's allowed, I will share more details to see if there is interest. This is my 10th year running it and I have two 100-square grids this year.
  8. Big fan of sports investing here. I like the Duke Under (got 165 on my end) and Wash St. +4.5 tonight. Baseball is my favorite. I have a friend (and this is no joke), he has only seen one Brewers loss if he has been at the game. I went to 15 games with him between '07 and '12 and they never lost. It was awesome and I don't usually bet to streaks like that. His one loss was in 2017. I told him I need to get back to seeing games with him!
  9. In case anyone is interested, here is what I have. I had a few others, but a friend took them off my hands yesterday. Yes, there is a Chipper Jones bobble in there too. If I find more as I unpack, I will update the list.

  10. Working on a list today for everyone who asked and PM'd me. Thank you all for the input. More to come.
  11. I think I would do cartwheels if I got $250 for them all. Ha ha. I just noticed the other post regarding values for Brewers and their affiliate bobbles. Are those prices fairly on point if I were to sell individually?
  12. Been a long time since I have been on this site - life gets in the way sometimes I guess. Quick question, I recently got married and moved and I have about 10 years worth of bobbles that I recently unpacked. Does anyone have suggestions on how to sell them? Nearly all were only opened once, but were never out of the box. I plan to keep a few of the unique ones, but all in all, I have around 100 to sell (all Brewers). Any suggestions are appreciated and I apologize in advance if this is a repeat topic. I will do some digging just in case.
  13. Here is my team name from the past couple years - "Who Wants a Listach Ride". Some other good ones I have seen: Gamel Toe Tony Plush Crush Pee Hands Alou The Herpe Hammer (awful - and it was a Brewers fan who used it) Sorry if any of these are too crude for the site.
  14. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Very helpful! I really appreciate all the responses. I am going to work on narrowing it down. If it weren't for those lousy baseball games I like so much, I probably would have made a decision already.
  15. HACK20 I have the M plates with MENCC. My son's name is Carsten Charles.
