Cash-back Inducement
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2005 12:40 pm
Don't know how many folks are using the Vault, but this is for those who are...
Based on the fluff, the stadium boss is basically handing him a pile of cash and saying spend this to make it a fair game. What if a coach thinks his lower TV doesn't automatically make his team more likely to lose? What if he'd prefer to take some of that cash and keep it?
So, how about a house rule which allows an underdog to keep some of the cash? My initial thoughts were for an inducement 'costing' 100K and giving +1 to the winnings roll at the end of the game. Then i rethought about the fluff and how that might affect it, with the following result
100k inducement: Pay us for the show. Results in:
+0 to winnings if lose by 2+ TD
+1 to winnings if lose by 1 or draw game
+2 to winnings if win game
btw i am very aware that this breaks the rule of 'no inducement should permanently affect a team' but that's why i'm thinking ofd it as a house rule.
What do you think? (posting this just for discussion - not at all likely to use it...)
