Hey Fat Tony, you call this a high rollers pool? Well where is the big pay off? Double the pot, please. This pool pays the same as the one I can buy for 25 ZBs. You can afford it.

I agree! We shell out 2,000 ZBs and then we only get 2400 back!?!?! With over 70,000 ZBs...Fat Tony can definitely afford to throw another 10 grand into the kitty. :rolleyes:

In retrospect it was my fault for playing so many squares, cause it does add up.
Maybe we can get the Federal Zone Buck Reserve to print more money to throw in. This is based on the gold standard isn't it? :)

#1 - I posted the payout odds- You chose to hog up the board with 10 picks- thus your greed has increased your odds of winning yet decreased your payout potential. I can't help it if you can't figure out odds.

2- I picked one square at $200- If I hit the lowest payout quarter, I increase my investment X12. If I hit the jackpot, I increase my investment 50 fold. You made the choice to blow 2 grand on squares, not me.


3- Right now, I am holding $40,000 in payouts on 2 mega pools, plus I'm holding monies on Super Bowl odds (one done before the season, one done before the playoffs). My wealth won't be there in 7 days. Plus, I don't make a dime on any of this- 100% put in is paid out- sometimes I even sweeten the pot.

4- I have donated over 13 grand of my own stash above and beyond any wagers in contests like the FFL tournament, the College football card, Log's Baby pool, test pools for the squares, and seed money for the early squares contest. I also donated nearly 3 grand on top of that to round out the superbowl square jackpot coming up. If people want to bet $$$ on a Japaneese Hot dog eating guy vs a Bear, I provide them the service at my own personal financial risk. No one gave Fat Tony a break when he shelled out a net loss of $6,000 in winnings early on in the NFL season.


Write a nice fat check Mikey and I'll be glad to add it to the pot.

PS- I have also only purchased 1 square out of 600 offered for sale to date. (and that is because I clicked on it by accident) It's not like I'm taking advantage and buying up tons of squares to rip people off.

PS- Fat Tony will continue to hold contests and give his money away as prizes-

....but not to " High Rollers" who don't need the money.

This thread is hillarious. I love it. Bunch of greedy bastards who can't do math...LOL.

Fat Tony..."I only took one square out of 600 because I clicked on it by mistake"...you are the man.

Why is everyone on Fat Tony's case? You saw the odds when you decided to buy 2,000 dollars worth of squares. At least you have a 1 in 10 chance of winning. Fat Tony isn't ripping anybody off. I can see if he was keeping a chunk of the pot. He's putting in all the work for nothing.

I'd never spend 2 grand on squares. I wish I would've shelled out 200 dollars on one, but never 2,000.

I know it by their logic the should have spent 200 and won 2500 instead of 2000 to win 2500...what kind of idiot would do that...LOL. Talk about fuzzy math. Where is WYS when we need him.

I guess they have never played the Roulette wheel.


In roulette, there are 38 spots n the wheel, 1-36, 0, and 00.

Half the numbers are black, the other half red, with 0 & 00 green.

The numbers are laid out in a fashion that you can bet on any number, or group of numbers, or even the color of the numbers. You can place any number of chips on any number of odds combinations. The more markers (chips) you place, the odds of you winning increases, but the overall prifit margin decreases (because you are spending more on that one bet). Superbowl squares are just like roulette. The more markers you buy, the less profit.

Let's not forget- the final score payout is $10,000 - the richest payout on any contest we have had to date on the board-


Fat Tony could, if he wanted to- put no limit on entries. The ONLY reason limits are in place is so more filks can participate.

Yeah Fat Tony there really isn't a lot of need for the limits except some bloke would come along and buy up all 100 squares and turn around and complain they didn't win anything...LOL.
