Baby Suchecki Betting Pool

John and I have put together a betting pool for Baby J. If you are interested, here is a copy of the rules:



Baby J Birthday Betting Pool Rules

This betting pool is for fun and for anyone who is wanting to participate. The winner will receive 75% of the pot. The remaining 25% will be put into a savings fund for Baby J for his future college/life/retirement/health etc… Obviously, the more that enter, the more the potential winnings will be for the lucky individual. The due date (as set by the doctor) is May 2nd. We will not provide any other information regarding the birth as to keep the pool as unbiased as possible. In the event of a scheduled appointment to either induce labor or perform a cesarean birth, we will not divulge this information so that we can protect the integrity of the pool.

1. The price is $10.00 per square.

2. Whoever guesses closest to the delivery date and time will win.

3. The time for each hour will begin at the top of the hour and end one second before the next hour (eg. 7:00:00 to 7:59:59).

4. The dates available are from midnight April 11th to 11:59:59 p.m. May 9th.

5. The “One dollar, Bob” clause: Since the Baby could be born before April 11th or after May 9th, whoever were to choose these bookend slots would receive an unfair advantage. To curtail this, the first eight slots (beginning at midnight on April 11th and ending at 11:59:59 on May 9th) will be priced starting at $50.00 (descending each hour by $5.00) to $10.00 or ascending from $10.00 to $50.00.

6. If you choose to purchase the 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m slot on April 11th for $30.00 and someone else chooses to purchase the 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. slot on the same day for $40.00, you will not receive a refund. So sorry!

7. All picks are final! No changing!....EVER!

8. When you make a selection, write your name across the time on the chosen date and please write your name, the date and time you chose and your phone number on the list in the back of the packet.

9. All money is due when you make a selection. No IOU’s!


Let us know if you are interested so that we can work something out. Hope everyone is doing great and we are getting excited!!!
