I thought that was going to be a pic of Pete Rose. :P
it's very generous of you to do this and your intentions are good but the rules of the giveaway are stupid and annoy me, it's like you are giving a chance to only about 10-20 people who will see the thread first and post the favourites. So about 10 people will be the real contestants and the rest of the forum will be like "wtf dude, that's not how you do a giveaway"

I suggest you open the giveaway to everybody who posts within a day and do a draw between the people who guess the champion.

But as you say your giveaway your rules.

But a lot of those first people are picking teams that don't stand a chance. Shit, one of the first people picked a team who's manager got fired last week. :P true
Thank you for the great giveaway OldFatGuy!

My pick is the Cleveland Indians

You want this thread:

By the way, is this legal? I would think this would be consider sports gambling and I could have sworn that's illegal here in the US. Not sure about Poland.

edit: A quick google says online sports gambling is illegal in Poland.

reedit: Hate to be a party pooper.

reedit #2: I;m going to get dinged for this post, aren't I? If it's determined to be fine, I promise to make good on it.

It's NOT gambling. The people participating are NOT waging, risking, using, or spending any of their own money. It is a GIVEAWAY. Gambling involves risk of losing..... this is not gambling.

bler144: So hypothetically, two people post Dodgers. B/c rules allow only one post per user, whoever posted it 2nd is just out, eh, even if the posts were simultaneous?

OldFatGuy: Mmmm, yeah, that's true I'm afraid. I am sorry, TBH I didn't even think of that simultaneously thing. But I can't change the rules now that I've posted them. I should've thought of that and didn't. Totally my bad. After this is over I will do another one where I can ensure something like that doesn't happen.

Dammit, I feel bad now but I would feel worse about changing rules after posting them.
Wait, what? I...disqualified Bler?
...
Well. Um.

What was your answer to that question I had about using the $50? Like, in theory, if I win, can I spend it to buy something for Bler?

zeogold: Wait, what? I...disqualified Bler?
I offered in the other thread to pony up the $50 to cover the confusion.
Nobody disqualified bler but me, the one who wrote the rules. I'm responsible, no one else.
The only sport I pay attention to is Drum Corps.
