We can't be any worse than the Twinspires players' pool, who trumpeted that they had 5 of 6 yesterday four times... (on a $47,000 ticket )

I just sent Byk a PM to talk about it, I want his blessing on this first before we get nuts. I already have 4k spoken for on this. My idea, since you decided to go public with it already, is....

-10k start, from November 1st to October 31st (BC is end)
-3 executors that buy in for 1k a piece, the other 7k is bought up by investors, minimun $250 (max 2 shares)
-tickets are played into pools with AT LEAST 1 million in the pool

There is a way that we can have a conference call each time, so people can actually gain some knowledge from us bozos. The conference call system is like $10 per call, unlimited people, and I think there is a way to mute everyone but the commentators.

I am all for running this shindig, I would just need some advice on how to handle taxes because you can do it a couple difference ways.

I would also have no issue starting this from July 1st to October 31st as kind of a feeler, we get 5k together for 4 months, play 5 tickets, with one of them being on the BC, and see how things work.

July 1st details
-Three people put in $500 each, the other $3500 put together by $250 shares (14 shares) (max 2 per person)
