Well, i hate to say it but, "Know your limit, play within it".  If you "don't wanna LOSE that much money", then perhaps you shouldn't be going in it to begin with. What if your team is far better than the others and then you find Daniel Sedin, Ryan Miller and John Tavares all break their legs?
Seriously though, who does a pool where you can back out AFTER committing to it? WTF??? You mean to tell me that if i were to go out and commit to a pool, and pick an unbelievable team, that others can simply bail out and not pay? What if all 7 other teams bailed??? Sounds pretty ridiculous to me and i can guarantee you i'd have nothing to do with anyone putting on a pool as such!!!
FWIW, i like your team better. Having said that, if Crosby comes back and plays like he did last year, you could be in trouble? |

In a pool of 8 people how does one person get Ovechkin, St. louis and crosby I understand crosby is hurt and will drop acouple picks but thats a really good top 3 picks.. I would like to see this draft order and who picked who.
I like both teams but his alot better if crosby comes back soon |

your team seems like a winner to me. Joe Thornton to round up your 6 forwards is pretty impressive. D. Sedin, Getzlaf and Tavares could easily be in the top 10.
Then you have the 3 top defense from last year (point wise) plus you have Mike Green.
Ryan Miller as a goalie. This is a good team. Richards being with a new team and Parise having a big injury last year would be my two concerns. |

Totally agree. So many experience 'buyer's remorse' the day after the draft. In mine, payment is required ahead of time, since the one year that one person didn't pay, and then moved out of town. It was a wash though, because her boyfriend ended up winning.
The Oil WILL make the playoffs in 2012. |

| it's true guest4806! how could you join a pool that enables you to bail after the draft. what a joke! So if 1 person is not happy with their team or doesn't like the competition, they can quit? The money should be collected before the draft buddy! I wouldn't join your pool with those stipulations. What's the point if you can't showcase your GM skills? i still think your team is better tho, good luck chump! |

| Back out? Seriously? And $300 for a pool with 8 players? Winner takes $2400 bucks? I've heard of $100 buy-ins, and those are pricy. I'm in a pool for $50 bucks, that's steep for me, and I'm only in for that much because I've won two years in a row. What are you, some billionaire's 12 year old son with money to burn and no brain to set up a pool? You can't back out AFTER you pick a team... Ridiculous. |
