Ditto, this is easily my favorite game

How much will my Oscar bump be? Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, I wouldn't mind an extra $5-10 million.

Walleye races into the lead. For now.

Don't hate me for bringing this up, but I had a thought in regards to this league...

How would everyone feel about contributing a VERY SMALL amount to a prize fund, with the winner taking all upon its conclusion? Not life-changing money, certainly, like $5 or $10?

If there are strenuous objections, I understand - we've had similar conversations before and nothing came of them. Just thought, given how long we've been doing this and the fact that we're all diehard players who aren't quitting anytime soon, we could sweeten the pot a little bit.

What do y'all think?

Yeah, I really don't like using Paypal and am unsure of how Venmo works.

I'm up for putting in a small amount of money.

Wish you would’ve come up with this idea 3 years ago I’d be in for a prize fund
