Great game by Swagwood. Deserves to start the rest of the tournament.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Shutout and an assist on the second goal - Go Wedgewood.

84 Grand for the 50/50

People in Edmonton are ridiculous with 50/50. Pre-competition game had like 50,000+.

I find it hard to believe, seems nearly impossible. If there was 20,000 fans, for the 50/50 to be 84,000, each person would have to pay $8.40. Doubt every person pays considering a lot are kids or whatever, so say 12,000, that's $14 dollars per person.

I think when I was in Ottawa this year, the 50/50 was like 10,000, if not less.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

So nice to see Wedgewood perform well. See, we actually do have some goalies in the system

 

[SauceHockey]

Wedgewood will probably play the US on the 31st

Maybe it's more like a 75-25, and they're being generous.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Too bad they could not tie it there. I have to say, if Canada is going to win they will win 1-0. Mrazek is shutting the door from hear on out.

Thats just a ridiculous comment. Yes he is playing amazing, but this is Team Canada, it will be more then 1, book it.

Not to be one to say I told you so, but....



I told you so.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I have been to Junior games in the WHL were the 50/50 is 10 grand. I have been to Junior A games were it was 5 grand. People love 50/50s

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Me too. That pass was the TSN turning point, imo.

BOB agreed!

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Not to mention people out west have lots of $$$$$.

 

[Kamal007]

Whats 50/50s?

 

[TheStranger]

Still hard to believe at nearly 6 dollars per person. Either it's wrong, or just plain ridiculous.

I believe the 84k. For one, those draws have to be done legally and they get audited very carefully. And an old neighbour of mine won something like $20,000 at a WHL game where the attendance was only 6000 or so. Some arenas just have insane 50/50 sales.

What'll really be hilarious is if the PM buys tickets and wins.

There are a lot of people who put down $20, so I'm not surprised. The other half goes to some charity so there is incentive to put some money into the pot.

I believe it.

 

[TheStranger]

Whats 50/50s?

People go around and sell tickets with numbers on them. At the end of the game one of the numbers is drawn to win 50|% of the total gained.

 

[matCH penalty]

Whats 50/50s?

Raffle drawing. 50% of sales goes to the winner, 50% goes to a charity.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Whats 50/50s?

You buy a ticket and if your number is drawn you win half the prize so basically half the cost of the ticket goes to the winner.

When I was a kid we got to sell 50/50s at Jet games and our team got half the proceeds. I remember it getting up to around 30 Grand

 

[TheStranger]

Not to mention people out west have lots of $$$$$.

Meh, not really, cost of living is through the roof. The people that really make the money are the ones that go out and work for 4-6 months in camps for free, and come home with pure profit.

 

[Alberta tough]

If Canada makes the gold medal game expect the 50/50 to be huge. Lots of oil money will be their.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Whats 50/50s?

It's a draw. You pay 2 bucks for a ticket, or 3 for $5; however much money they collect half of it goes to some charity the other half goes to the person whose ticket they drew. So if they collect $100,000 and they draw your ticket you win $50,000. Only people in the arena can play.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Thinking ahead....how bad is it going to get against Denmark tomorrow if the guys keep rolling like this? Ouch.

You obviously know nothing about life in Alberta.

Yeah, the recipient in most places is local minor hockey, so that's even more incentive for people to throw them $20 or so.

There ya go. I drop $20-40 on 50-50 for that very reason.

Thanks for the info. Thats probably what I was being harassed for at ACC last week.
