PointCast has a great way for their users to bet as a group. All you do is establish a group name and password and everyone that uses it can track the results of their respective group. Of course we would all need PointCast, but at least it is free: www.pointcast.com

Otherwise, we all have to type in our picks like Robert did and someone has to volunteer to track all of them.

What about $$$? I think it is legal to have a betting pool as long as all the money goes to the people who are participating (as opposed to a cut going to the "house"). Any lawyers out there know if this is so? Assuming it is, we should all agree on an entry fee, say $25, where the winner gets 80% and the second place person gets 20%.

What do you think?
