Death Pool

I run a Death Pool every year (January 1st to January 1st).

It’s very simple: You pick 10 celebrities you think will die within the calendar year. Each death is worth one point, with each person carrying a .01 bonus for each year under the age of 90 they are at the time of their death. $10 to enter, most points wins the pot.

Naturally, the concept of the Death Pool has led to some funny comments over the years.
