Anyone run or participate in an NFL Club 33 pool? (2 Viewers)

[DoubleEagle]

I run a Club 33 pool with a bunch of friends. 32 to be exact, one for each NFL team. Entry fee is $85 for the entire 18 week NFL season. We do a random draw for teams. Players get a team for the first nine weeks and a different team for the second nine weeks. If your team scores exactly 33 points, regardless of whether they win or lose, you win the pool for that week. If there is more than one winner, they split the pool for that week. Each week's pool s $150. If there is no winner, the prize carries over to the next week. If there is no winner for week 18, it goes to the team or teams that score closest to 33.

Through the first five weeks, there has not been a winner. The prize pool for week six is now $900, tying our record!

We've been doing this for about 10 years. It is a lot of fun.

Why 33?

I'd do this but I don't have 32 friends.

Why 33?

Supposedly, 33 points was the score achieved the least amount of times. It has been hitting more often since the advent of the two-point conversion.

My father-in-law runs a 22 pool. Lots of fun.
