med2089 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 So, I'm looking for some new ideas. Every year, at the Royal Rumble gathering at my apartment, we do a standard Royal Rumble pool - everyone throws $2 in and picks numbers at random, and the person that draws the number of the winner gets the cash. It keeps everyone interested in the match as they groan and say "aww man, I got David Otunga/Hornswoggle/Jim Duggan AGAIN!?!", and makes it fun for the non-fans who come just to hang out. What we're looking to do this year is maybe change things up a little bit, or at least modify the current pool that we always do. So I turn to you, the fine folks of PWO - do you guys partake in any kind of pools for the Rumble? And if you do, how does your pool work?

rzombie1988 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Your way seems the most logical to be honest. My friends and I will just choose who will win, maybe #1 and #30 and who will last the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpchicago23 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 That's sounds fun as hell. Unfortunately none of my friends like wrestling and the only other wrestling fans I've met in Tampa have either been casual fans or way too excuse me for this but I guess way too nerdy for me at least maybe I'm a Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 We throw 10p in the kitty for every entrance, trying to guess who will come out next. That's always fun, because you're left scrambling for guys who haven't come out yet, and the kitty tends to build up to a pretty reasonable amount.

khawk20 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 We used to pick everyone, 1-30. Five points for every guy that enters in the spot you have him in. ten points if you pick the winner, bonus points if you pick certain numbers randomly drawn correctly (i.e. 4, 16, 23). We would also pick the undercard bouts like any standard pick 'em. We'd all throw in 5 or 10 bucks and divide to pay the top 3. Keep in mind there were usually 10-15 people watching it together back in the day. We used to do pick 'ems for all the PPVs but the Rumble was always the best one due to the big match.

med2089 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks for the input, guys. I definitely like Yo-Yo's idea with the progressive pot for guessing the next entrant - maybe we'll incorporate that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 We did that at our house when I was a kid for a few years. The first time, we actually had little wooden trophies painted gold for whoever won. Later, we did it for money. Haven't done it in awhile. It is quite fun.
