This Sunday is the Superbowl! And for some of us, that means its time to bet. This year, its the Saints vs the Colts in a showdown of elite quarterbacks. As is somewhat tradition (some of the irc people like to gamble on random things), we're going to have a MW betting pool for it.

Only, in our betting pool, no one really wins (except for MW) and no one really loses (except for the people who pick the losing team, I guess.) The way it works is that we'll do $10 bets. You can either post in here or pm me directly. Just need to pick the team who you want to win, and if you win, you don't have to do anything more (other than rejoice in the thought that you picked the winner!)

If you lose, what we'll do is that you'll paypal $10 to me, in order to fund the MagellanWars advertising budget. Now, I know some of you say "hxc, how do we know we can trust you in order to put it into advertising?" Well, if you don't trust me, don't bet. If you do trust me, then place a bet and prepare for awesomeness. I haven't stolen anyone's money yet, and I don't plan on it.

As an added bonus, if we make over $100, I'll donate 10% to a charity that you all will choose for me. If we make over $200, I'll pay each of the developers 20 dollars. If we make over $1000, I'll pay for the server for a few months, etc. In other words, the money will be going to a good place, and so hence, no one really loses in this betting pool.

So, let the bets begin! I'll accept bets up until the start of the game. Afterwards, I'll send out pm's with my paypal info.

And for betting purposes, I've got $10 on the Colts.
