I have run these boards since high school and the one thing that always surprises me, is how surprised everybody is when they as k me how much of the money taken in will go into the pool...........I never took a nickel from any of them. I also have been on other boards, but would NEVER play a single board that the person running it takes a portion of the money for himself. There was one guy that took a portion, but he held a huge SB Party and supplied all of the liquor and food, so he wasn't really pocketing the cash.
The main reason I would run them was to make sure that I would have an opportunity to be involved in one myself.
After all of these years however, I have never even won on a quarter score. Oh well, maybe that should give me enough reason not to be on one this year.:shrug:
