It took a month and BF shorted me the last time I entered a pool. Basically I got the money from every entrant except one. Which means BF played for free. I've stayed away since that time.

ive run a pretty large office NFL pool for years in the past, and i never took money off the top. i just dont believe in that. i have had years where i get a nice tip, and i have had years where i havent gotten shit, but i have a lot of fun with mine, and have won occasionally so it is worth the effort for me.

i personally don't feel right skimming off the top from people i work with. if i didnt enjoy it, i wouldnt do it, i dont expect to get paid.

Any mention to who paid the PAYPAL FEES? Send me $10 and I get $9.10, but then everyone expects to get $10 paid out? Guess who makes that up?

And a few others who did pay asked for money back and I still paid winnings for them, because they didnt make a pick.

Walt you can retract your statement and DB yourself anytime you wish.

And anyone that has ever drank with me WZ, Frank, Donsiracy,Doug EP, SPMack, MC, Zederman, Rock and others, I make sure the drinks always flow on my dime!

So to call me out for a $10 fucking entry! Kick your own ass.
