Yupp. It would've been to much fun. Do you know they had a game 'Felix Sex'? I stead of NFL survivor Pool, you might be running a pool for this game?
Haha I didn't know that. I am sure they bet on stuff like that in the stands so it kind of would be like the early version of betting pools.

Before you share this interesting game with someone. Let me clarify.
The name “Felix Sex” translates to “lucky sixes” and is poetically descriptive of what the board actually looks like. The board is made up of six separate lines of six spaces arranged in two columns and three rows. In most cases, the spaces were actual letters which would spell out a witty saying or something poetic, but gameboards have also been found without letters and just empty playing fields.

Hahahaha. I assumed it was some big cat (feline) sex game where they predicted which cats would mate or something like that.

Hahha! I knew this outcome from your thinking so I only mentioned the name of the game in the first comment.
Why not discuss it for fun in the POD? You mist have a little space for ancient games.
The other one I remember is 'Chaupar' (The Roll of Dice) from the Mahabharata which cost Pandavas (5 brothers) their land, themselves and even their one and only wife, Draupadi to their step Brothers known as Kaurvas (Kauravas mean 100 brothers and they were 100 for real).
You can read the whole epic game here.

I see my WBBL pick lost. I guess I need to root for you to lose as well.

You would've lost, had I picked Hurricanes. I was seriously giving it a thought to end the pool today. But I changed my mind for nothing. You picked strikers and you didn't know that they are reeling at the last place. Hurricanes are doing much better. But it's what it is. If my team loses tomorrow, we move to the next round. If this keeps going, their will be a tie breaker in the last round where we need to tell the total runs as well.

Strikers were favoured so I picked them but to your point I don't know which teams are playing well and which ones are playing poorly.

On the link of the game there's 'table' that tells team standings.
