Always best time to play "Jackpot" type pools......the day or two leading up to mandatory ( while other are saving bullets for the big day, thus eliminating a lot of competition ) and random weekday Off Turf days ( those days seem to make people disinterested in the card).

That said, I am dissappointed that it got taken down, but not shocked at the timing of when it was poached.

If the owner of Magic Jack is a millionaire and the Cleveland Browns are worth half a billion dollars than I'm worth $3.5 million at least. Just has to be.

Class warfare? Who cares how much money this guy has?

You do realize guys like this often help to create large pools and underlays creating opportunities for the rest of us, right?

It was a ballsy play. He figured correctly that most people would wait for the final day. It was ballsy in that he spent 7 K into a sequence that had a high likelihood to carry and probably would've lost money on a carry.
