It's Saturday, thus it is poll day!

We did not reach any sort of consensus last week in the discussion regarding the NFL Survivor Pool. I am leaning towards doing two pools. One with buy in and one that is free and people can zap the pot whatever they want.

Last year buy in and rebuy for the pool was 10k sats. I was planning to move it to 20k sats for buy in and rebuy this season but a couple people suggested that might be too much for some and to keep it at 10k sats. Ultimately I want a nice balance of a good amount of participants but also the biggest prize pool of the year because this is our biggest contest.

So what say you stackers? How much should the buy in/rebuy be?

20k buy in/20k rebuy0.0%

20k buy in/15k rebuy8.3%

15k buy in/15k rebuy0.0%

15k buy in/10k rebuy8.3%

10k buy in/10k rebuy41.7%

10k buy in/5k rebuy25.0%

10k and 5k would be fine but I doubt new Stackers would be willing to join for this much amount. I'm not sure.

Thanks for the input.

Not sure about the buy in / rebuy due to my scarce experience in the NFL. If still considering the free option , I am in. If I had to choose one option from above , I would go for the 10/10.

I understand this. This is why I would like a zap the pot pool as well that runs like a mini version of the paid pool.

I have been reading about the survivor pools and they seem really cool. Not sure whether you have tried with soccer earlier , but once the NFL’s survivor pool finishes, we could try with soccer. For instance, we could choose the premier, it can last for 19 weeks starting at mid-January till the end of may. Just an idea!

You can see what the most popular picks are and the data refresh is at least once a day

So, let me see if I get this right. In the fixture BUF vs ARI, according to the table, is more likely that BUF wins. And, in the match NE vs CIN, more likely that CIN wins. Am I right? However, I understand that this is sport and anything can happen….

Bettors think buffalo will beat Arizona

Bettors think Cincinnati will beat Patriots

I think buffalo at home is my favorite pick

Edit: I think Cincinnati looks like my favorite pick for week one

You can sort by the P column to see the most popular picks

Ok, understood. Now, if you pick Buffalo in week one, then it can’t be picked again, right?

45 sats \ 1 reply \ @Bell_curve 24 Aug

Correct

Edit: I will let you know my final recommendation on Saturday night or the day before game time

41 sats \ 0 replies \ @Carresan 24 Aug

Ok, many thanks. I can see the tactical side of it too!

Do we have unlimited rebuy?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 25 Aug

No just 1

52 sats \ 8 replies \ @Undisciplined 24 Aug

10k/20k

I know you're trying to reduce your choice set, so I apologize for adding to it. I prefer the rebuy being more expensive than the initial buy-in, though.

57 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 24 Aug

Ha. We are going to end up with 10k/10k and running back all of last years rules because we can't agree. Not a bad outcome to fall back on.

Did you watch the game last night? Crazy day, we only got back home past midnight so I only caught the last little bit.

71 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined 24 Aug

I watched the highlights this morning. It was definitely the Raiders most compelling preseason game. Why in the hell were your starters out there?

48 sats \ 4 replies \ @grayruby OP 24 Aug

They weren't out for long. I am not sure why Shanahan wanted to play the third preseason game. Most teams have the starters play a bit in the second game. Anyways, Shanahan is going to do what Shanahan is going to do. The 49ers have so many injuries right now. I am expecting a rough start to the season. They might have to win some ugly ones. Fortunately their are some gimmies in the first 5 weeks for 49ers.

There were a couple of injuries yesterday, but I'm not sure if those were relevant players. Other than Kelce and Mahomes, I can't think of an offensive group that has less reason to suit up for the last preseason game.

43 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby OP 24 Aug

Floyd and Gross-Matos both hurt their knees. Not good. That’s the 49ers second and maybe third best DEs. Hopefully not serious. They can overcome one of them being out but not both.

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 24 Aug

Was the starting O-line playing? If so, it's not encouraging that Purdy was getting sacked by our bench players. Although, in fairness, our backup D-Line played better than the starters had played.

2/5. Williams is holding out. Banks is banged up (not serious). Feliciano is out until around week 8.

That’s being said Puni has been great this preseason so he is playing at a starter level at RG.

Not having Williams and Banks is pretty huge.

I like 10k/15k

64 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby OP 24 Aug

You also like the larger rebuy. Undisciplined liked that idea as well.

51 sats \ 0 replies \ @siggy47 24 Aug

I think so, but 10/10 is fine too.

20 sats \ 3 replies \ @Bell_curve 24 Aug

The rebuy can’t be lower than initial

People can be eliminated then enter at a discount. Eliminations should matter.

There should be two winners. Winner no rebuy. Winner after rebuy

Rebuy winner must have a scarlet letter asterisk

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby OP 25 Aug

Everyone used the rebuy last year. But I do think should we have a tie the non rebuy competitor should win.

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @Bell_curve 25 Aug

there should be 2 winners:

1 winner (exclude rebuys) 1 winner (include rebuy)

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 25 Aug

Hmmm I don’t mind the idea of the prize potentially going to two people. Longest without a rebuy and then the final survivor. Maybe I will do another poll about this.

43 sats \ 1 reply \ @Coinsreporter 24 Aug

10k buy in and 5k rebuy in is good.

I think it's better that more people participate than just having a few. There are many new people joining in these days, I don't see them joining if it's set too high!
