How do you set up an Oscar betting pool?

Question

I want to set up an Oscar pool for me and my co-workers, but I've never even participated in one before. How do I make one?

Answer 1

It is a simple form . You list the catagories you want to use (all or just the major ones) then you list the nominees in each catagory. People take the form make their picks and pay the fee, if any. The winner is determined by who gets the most picks right. If there is a tie, the winners split the prize.

Remember that the minor technical awards are presented before the ceremony is televised, so if you include them the picks must be made before that date.

Answer 2

I'm sorry I'm not going to be much help. I have more of an unsolicited opinion that I'm going to give you. My opinion is that this is a very bad idea. Ask yourself this - How do you want people to perceive you and your future husband? If you say, "I don't really care what people think. I just want to do what's fun for us", then I guess it really doesn't matter. Just know that for most people, this will leave them with a bad impression of you. Not what you were looking for, I know. It's just my opinion.
