    How much do you tip a guy who runs a Super Bowl board when you win?
    A group of us won $14k on a Super Bowl board. The square cost $1,000. The board pays 100% of what it takes in, so the guy running it does it for free. We feel like we should give him a tip, but we have no idea how much. Thoughts?

              500 dollars is good. That is a minimum of 100 dollars and hour for his/her time and effort to put the pool together. I won a 1200 survivor pool and I gave 20 dollars for a lunch/dinner on me.

                    Someone has to collect ALL of the money and get in to the winner. That is worth something.

                      same amt of work put in but bc he won 14k and you won 1200 means he gives$480 more?

                          10 percent.

                          Any time I hit an office pool at work it's about 200 to 250 I tip the guy who runs in 20 to 25
                          I'm like "here Mikey, I got lunch" and leave him a 20 or whatever.

                            Tip them? Most of the sleazeballs that I've played with already took out their cut for running it. Then they give their friends the better numbers. I played in one this year for $25 a square and go figure the guy running it won the halftime score.

                            I ran $50 square Superbowl polls back in the late 90's to mid 2000's and no one ever tipped me shit. And mine always paid out exactly what they were supposed to and I flipped the random numbers(with cards) in front of a large group of people.

                                  If this was a $100,000 poll, what did the other quarters pay out?

                                    not all pools pay just 4qtr winners

                                    some have all kinds of winners

                                    touching squares etc....

                                      Yes. It's about the same percentage.

                                          $500 on a 14k win is a nice tip. It does take some time to put one together.

                                              I know, the ones I ran had regular scores and flip scores for each quarter along with different numbers for each person for each quarter(so you didn't get fukked with 8 and 8 for the entire game). I was just wondering what else got paid out since $100,000 is a lot of money.

Meet me at the next SBR bash and say that shit, and you'll be picking your fuk'in teeth up off the carpet.

                                                        Rudy and Mike, please apply a couple of Dr. Phil avatars to your handles. You guys need to stop this foolishness and find the inner peacefulness that resides within.

                                                        As to the OP, 5% is plenty. It's not like he was bringing you a meal or cutting your hair.
