Why is the fee $5/ per square for $100 and $2.50 per square on $50. Does it cost you more to administer the other one? Kind of nice to make about $800 on running the three different pools

if you don’t like it, don’t play. Nobody forcing you to get in.

5% is 5% which is very reasonable. I'm sure there's plenty of guys charging 10%.

10% is standard.

I've seen 5%, 10% 25% and even a 50% this season.

5% is MORE than reasonable. if someone is bitching about that, they've never coordinated a square pool.

10% should be what they took IMO....

Yes sir, it does cost more, there is greater risk anytime more people and more funds are involved.

What do you have against someone making a fair earn?

How is there greater risk if he is collecting the money before hand? He is the one holding the money so I don't see how it costs more for each one. There aren't more people involved either - its the same number of squares.

Im just trying to understand what it's different based on the entry fee as there is no different risk. It's similar to tipping @ a restaurant where its based on price of the items - which doesn't make sense either

There is more risk in trying to handle larger amounts of money using pp or other methods.
IF you actually had to run it and deal with the people who are playing then you would surely understand.

It is not the same thing as restaurant either.
So you gotta problem with tipping waiters in a more expensive restaurant as well?

You might notice from the square boards that most people disagree with you completely on your complaint. Try running one before complaining.. Do you also whine about the juice at a sports book? That said, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and opting out of joining.

i do have a problem tipping more just because it’s more expensive. They do just as much work as a waiter at chili’s.

whats the greater risk? He’s running all three of the contests. Not like he’s running a $100 only. There’s the same amount of risk
