Home Run Survivor Pool

[UnknownOrange]

Hello friends.

I wanted to extend an invite to my home-run-survivor-pool. Ever heard of one? Probably not but the idea is simple. If you participate you submit your pick for who you think will hit a home run in that upcoming week. If they do, you advance and lose that person. If they don't, you're out.

I successfully ran two sessions last year. Volume 1 went right up until the all-star break (13 weeks!) and Volume 2 went 10 weeks and ended right before the end of the regular season. All in all the winners walked away with over 1k dollars in each volume.

Home Run Survivor Pool

The rules are simple: dinger or death

I crudely built a website and the sign up is right on the home page. If you have any questions please ask away!

Entry fee is $25 ($20 to the winners pool, $5 to charity from each entry) and we will have buybacks through Week Two.

It was a ton of fun last year and a cool chance to win some money for yourself and a charity of your choosing (or NIL, sickos!)

Does Devers striking out 20 times in a week equal 1 HR?

When do we have to have our second pick in?

 

[UnknownOrange]

When do we have to have our second pick in?

Email will go out soon but it’s always 6pm Monday OR before your picks first game on Monday

So if judge was your pick and the Yankees played at 1:05, your pick would need to be in before that

 

[upperdeck]

This was pretty fun, watching players I never cared about hoping for a home run after I go to bed

 

[UnknownOrange]

haha its a way to stay interested for sure -- last year we had some crazy sundays too where guys looked terrible all week then hit a home run to advance people on sunday afternoon

 

[KaiserUEO]

If you needed to borrow $25, all you had to do was ask. You didn’t need to create this clever ruse for me to give it to you.
