Betting doesn't mean they'll lose them for sure though.ffs
@Edgar Allan Pillow so what happens if two managers bet on same winning square?
Do they both get to choose a player?
Do they both get to choose a player?
Multiple winners will always be randomized and only one will be chosen for the prize.
Not to say that it's actually extremely unlikely.
My chips are firmly in my pocket right now.Maybe they'll end up winning Didi...or Figo
It would be oddly fitting for @Chesterlestreet to lose Didi right after bringing him into a team with Di Stefano
Redondo, you know it.My chips are firmly in my pocket right now.
Honestly, Pelé will be shown the door before he is.
This.
Surprise Round: Russian Roulette
Step 1: Pick a player who you want to gamble with (Minimum 1, Maximum all your team). The more you bet, the more chances for you to win!
Step 2: Pick a number from the board (From 1-Red to 36-Red) to bet your player on (e.g. 8 Black)
Step 3: At the end of the turn I''' randomize all 36 boxes and top will be the winner.
Prize: Winner (if any) can choose 1 player from the gambled pool to take to his team. Rest keep their players. If no winner, everyone keeps their players.
Do we have to gamble?

You didn't read anything did you?
Don't worry Jo, it's not "real" gambling so it's halal
Hm.

Following stints in recent years at the likes of Bunyodkor and Sao Paulo, Rivaldo signed on with Mogi Mirim for the third time in his career at the end of 2013 with the deal set to see him stay until 2015.
Interesting
Fun draft to follow, have skimmed it all.
Yeah, that's a cool story.
I'll be heartbroken if it happens - him being my favourite singer and all.
EAP did mention to bet a minimum of 1 player, so you have no choice but to participate.
Yeah, but it's more than possible - considering that most managers will bet inferior players
Ah yes..
Djalma and whoever Tuppet and Raees have to put up will be attractive choices as well
Didi is class above everyone else, at least for now....
That's not the only consideration though. Tactics and covering is important in this draft at least for me. I know you want to direct attention on Didi and off Djalma though
Yeah, but not everyone needs him - Xavi and Bozsik are in the same tier as a midfield generals, it's questionable whenever he will work well with Redondo and then you have all those attacking midfielders who may require a different kind of supporting midfielders behind them. We'll see what's what later
Not everyone needs Djalma either.
For the thing to happen someone has to actually win in the first place (and it's likelier that nobody will) and then that someone will have to prefer Djalma over any other player in the pool.
Takes a fair amount of bad luck for it to happen.
But yeah - let's see.
If one more person up two players its 50-50 someone will win.
But I agree its not as simple as Djalma or Didi. If I won (and I have the least chance of any manager atm) I would be most interested in who Tuppet and Raees pick with their options assuming they both risk their picks this turn. Even if Cruyff was available I wouldn't pick him because I already have Maradona.
Nope, just got home.You didn't read anything did you?
Don't worry Jo, it's not "real" gambling so it's halal
Not if we lose one of best/garrincha.Yeah, didn't factor multiple entries in.
That said, 23-B has been taken twice - which could happen again with other numbers.
Anyway, it'll probably end up around 50-50. And then you need to consider the pool.
All in all I maintain the odds won't favour it.
It obviously ain't extremely unlikely, though - which I claimed at first (dunno what I based that on, to be honest - I'm only half paying attention here, which I consider to be in the spirit of the draft).
I think it's a mistake and it shouldn't be that way? What if they win, Edgar will run another simulation to find out who the real winner is?
Yup, EAP said that himself. If there's more than 1 winner, he'll run the randomizer to pick one winner.
D'oh! Overlooked this being compulsory.
Oh boy, if @MJJ gets Djalma I don't have a chance in hell of catching up with him. Nor do most of you really.
It's their choice...let's just say that the subsequent rounds may not be good for your blood pressure with focus on players who don't make the board here
