Sugar Tree Raffle?

[Nine Ball]

..................

[plshrk22]

I dont think that would be to bad.. $1680 for a Sneaky with Ivory is reasonable from Eric.

[vijesh]

I honestly think its a great idea for those who cant get hold of a sugartree can get them for $40 if he/she wins it. The other aspect is that Sugartree cues and other top end cues are on the expensive side so $40 or what ever is the ticket price you could win a fantastic cue..... This gives the particpants a chance to actually get hold of these masterpiece. JMHO.

Cheers
Vijesh

[hangemhigh]

Just curious, is "fossilized Ivory" the same thing as Mammoth Ivory? I first thought this cue had Elephant Tusk Ivory, I'm not so sure now. Doesn't change my perception of the cue, just need to know.

[RackRunner]

You who have been involved in these before this is my first time. So the Powerball is the one that has the 42 numbers in red right?

Henny HaHa confirmed this earlier but he also said he thought. So just making sure.

and that runs Wednesday and Saturday right?
Depends when 6 or 19 hits.

[Monto P2]

that is correct josh.it is the last number in red.i would like to wish every one best of luck.and may god make me win:D

[Nine Ball]

from their page


Powerball is a lotto game which is a combined large jackpot game and a cash game. Every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, we draw five white balls out of a drum with 55 balls and one red ball out of a drum with 42 red balls.

[hangemhigh]

Thanks guys.. PM is all I need to update the list. No need to post it on the thread too.

Personally it doesn't bother me but I'm just thinking of the ones who do not like raffles because of all the bumps.

Trying to make everyone happy even though I know it can't be done.


LOL, half of them are in your raffle!

[Monto P2]

Are we on for tommorow?

[Nine Ball]

.......................

[vijesh]

Ohhh come on guys lets get this over with quickly... please make the payments asap.............

[Monto P2]

They are all well respected peopl.u wiill get ur money for sure.i am sure it can be done tommorow:)

[Nine Ball]

[VonRhett]

Might I suggest that you let Josh run this Raffle the way he wants to? I don't blame him for waiting.

I noticed that you're responding to questions posed to Josh, as you did when it was your recent raffle. Now you're encouraging him to go forward with the drawing even though he hasn't received all monies yet?

Are you willing to pay for those 4 people? You wouldn't win if their number hits, you're just vouching for them and therefore would be responsible for submitting their payment - before the winner is announced.

Frankly, if he's waiting on MOs, it's unlikely it will go off tomorrow.

Josh, you're doing the right thing. Don't let others influence your judgment.

[Nine Ball]

[nwtflogan]

Ill Be A Alternate If Need Be!

[MBnow]

Just an Idea....

maybe for future raffles, the host can have a set draw date.

allowing 1 week for moneys to be received.

keeps it nice and clear for everyone.



good luck all.


matt B.

[pooldogue]

I don't doubt that one bit but the money has to be collected first.

If Gluton1, Hangemhigh, and GRC all have payments to me by tomorrow I will go ahead and trust RackRunner and do the raffle then.

Only if we are waiting on one person though. If we are waiting on more it will be Saturday.
God forbid you got forty dollars less than the 1680. for a sneaky pete, what a joke and ripoff this is.........:o

[rcarson]

40 dollars for a chance to win a nice cue, not really a rip-off. I mean obviously you don't think it is worth it but I am sure the people who have purchased spots think that it is. So your comment is rather mute. If your a collector this might be the cheapest cue you purchase for your collection, not a bad proposition. Although I did just meet a guy who found a Palmer in a pawn shop and paid $150 for it.

[hangemhigh]

The cue will bring that "joke" price in the open market, about half of what a Searing of the same type will bring. Whats your beef? You don't think Crisp's work is worth the asking price?

Nothing but the best of words to Eric ,his cues and workmanship and also his family values but i know for sure what mine cost me from Eric and this is an absolute joke, maybe not to people who THINK they have a shot..:rolleyes:

[hangemhigh]

I remember the same objections and justifications when Searing's cues took off. It is done, there is no looking back, the sky is the limit. Take solace in the fact you got in on the bottom floor and comfort yourself in the knowledge of how much your Sugartree has appreciated.

Wow....Your a class act my friend.....take a look at some of the names on the raffle roster...you'll recognize some reputable names that are in the know..anyhow why don't you start another thread on how you dis like raffles.....I'm sure Josh, and all the participants would appreciate it...imo

[JoeyInCali]

THe main reason why pool is not thriving?
Knockers.

matt B.

I don't think the host can set a draw date without the payments first. I would suggest though to set a deadline for payments to be made. If the deadline passes then free up the slots again. Only after moneys are received then should a date be set.

[LoGiC]

THe main reason why pool is not thriving?
Knockers.

Too True. If its not traditional, it shouldn't be in pool at all right?

GL to all Participants!

[pooldogue]

THe main reason why pool is not thriving?
Knockers.
I dont know about that Joey, i think it just might be all this nonsense thats going on here.. imo
Best of luck though to you in the raffle...:)

[pooldogue]

Hey, thats youre opinion just like mine is the opposite and thats what makes so many different makers out there.... imo:)

[The King]

Good Luck with your raffle your a class act and I wish you well ... Never mind the nay sayers they have nothing better to do ... Good Luck to all involved ...

So its 100% confirmed that I will be winning in tonights drawing, correct???:D :p :p

[Nine Ball]

......................

[rcarson]

Sorry guys, I performed a pool god "Gimme The Sugartree" ceremonial powerball luck ritual and I believe he/she is pleased and I will be winning the cue tonight.... or Saturday. :D

Hope you don't mind me backing you.

The only problem I see is how we're going to split it if you win:D

[JFORNEY36]

I'll take another spot if it's open and will get things going tonight..

[Nine Ball]

..................

[Pii]

No problem Nineball

[Pii]

(edited typing error so there!)

[Nine Ball]

................

[Henny HaHa]

NO;) The drawing is tonight but you're going to loose. Sorry.

Hey!! Don't think that just because your from the same state that it is going to give you an advantage!!:rolleyes:

I've known NineBall since hee was in pull-ups!! hehehehehe:D :D :D

[Henny HaHa]

Yeah Henny, You better tighten up cause your going to "loose" :D

Get rid of the KY. :eek: :) Just messin with ya..

What are you?? In with Pii!!!:eek: :D

By the way I think the powerball site is down. None of the links are working.

[Nine Ball]

....................

[Henny HaHa]

I think you missed the joke Mike. :p "Loose" is not "lose" :)
yup, your right i missed it. my bad!:o

[Nine Ball]

[Pii]

Yeah Henny, You better tighten up cause your going to "loose" :D

Alright alright
Am I going to have to put a FATBOY spelling disclaimer on all my post?
You guys are mean:mad: :D

[Henny HaHa]

Don't think there is anything you can do. Prob. seems to be with their site.
Numbers should still get posted just have to wait for the site to come back up to check them. I'm sure someone will catch the drawing live, but it won't be me, my state don't play.

[Pii]

I think you missed the joke Mike. :p "Loose" is not "lose" :)

Says who?! And don't give me any of that dictionary crap!

YOU'LL ALL GOING TO LOOSE!!!:D

[Nine Ball]

............

[Nine Ball]

[Pii]

The link is not working for me either.. Now what is the suggestion on that?? I guess we will not know who got it until tomorrow if the site doesn't come back up today?

Working fine from here in FL

[Nine Ball]

.........................

[hangemhigh]

I will be watching live here in Tennessee. I'll let you know.

[Henny HaHa]

You looking at the right site? Using the link from the original thread? It's not working for me.
you can still check the numbers through the lottery sites of the states that participate. for example: Wisconsin participates in powerball and they post the winning numbers on their site.:)
