We are cancelling the 2012 Super Bowl Squares...

The powers that be have instructed us to stop what we are doing, as this is a form of gambling, and we don't want to get ourselves or Steve in trouble. It's not worth it.

Thank you to everyone who wanted to participate... we were almost there!

See Muggyman's thread for more info on his contest.

    lmao, and buying packs of vintage unopened and ripping them isn't a form of gambling? Buying shares of Collectors Universe, which I own, isn't a form of gambling? Sending in 200 card submissions isn't a form of gambling?

    I'm not sure. I do know, though, that there are circumstances under which a submission of 150 TT Ripken RCs wouldn't be considered a form of gambling.

    here is the link...

    Muggyman is here to stay.

    I have simply offered a test (for entertainment purposes only) for people to take that I will gather and post.

    FM is simply funny money, this was never intended to be any form of gambling Mr. Administrator.

    However, muggyman@aol.com is now accepting FM donations. There will be a prize offered from my collection and whatever else I designate from the FM donations collected.

    Muggyman U... Come high, get higher!

    The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.

    Sorry, but this is as bad as removing all posts that had to do with a truthful representation of

    Whereever storm is, he still gets the center square in my mind. He could answer anything they threw at him.

    No doubt (about Storm), but since Carol (and the powers that be squashed the pool), the center square controls most of the action.
    Still genius.

    I understand, they are a publicly traded company. Doesn't really look good for the investors.

    everybody everywhere does them, but when it is thrown in law enforcement's face, they tend to frown on these harmless games.

    Every year people in one of these "office pools" are nabbed because it is too far out in the open. Stay off the radar screen next time is my advise

    There are probably no less than 5 of these pools going on in Newport Beach.

    Mind you I am not targeting any one place in Newport Beach, but since Newport Beach is 53 square miles (29.2 of it being water) I figure there has to be a few pools going on somewhere in the city. image

    there's probably a lot more than 5....just not plastered all over the CU Boards

    PSA's office is in Santa Ana. They wouldn't care if you were targeting one particular place in Newport Beach.
