Dead-Pool

A Dead-Pool from Deadpool

A Dead-Pool is a game where a group of people pick 10 celebrities that they think will die in a given year and make a wager that they will win by either win by having guantity, more people on their list that have died or quality, win by having more all around style points. A Dead-Pool can also be where a group of people, say a military squad, get together and pool money to bet on who will be the first of them to die.

The Celebrity Dead-Pool

The Celebrity Dead-Pool is probably the most done, and favorite type of Dead-Pool as it is done like any other betting pool with a group of people and only requires most people's favorite past time of following celebrities.

How it works is a group of people make a list of, usually, 10 celebrities they think will die in the next year. Depending on how they are betting, either the person with the most celebrities on their list or the person with the most style points will be the winner and collect the pooled money.

The two different types of Dead-Pools are as follows:

QUANTITY: Probably the easiest of all Dead-Pools to play as all it needs is a group of people to pick ten celebrities who the believe will die in a given year.

This type of Dead-Pool is usually spammed with ancient and aging celebrities such as Kirk Douglas, who as of writing this is 101 or Olivia de Haviland, again 101.

To make it more interesting, and ensure that everyone's list isn't the same because they're all spammed with geezers, bonus points are given for younger celebrities so someone such as Kirk Douglas would only be seen as 1 point but if someone young like Lorde were to die, she would be given 5 points, because at her age, death is statistically less likely.

The best way to play the odds with this kind of list is to try to have a combination of archaic celebrities like Kirk Douglas that have a high chance of dying, celebrities with high risk lifestyles such as musicians who are known for doing drugs and celebrities with known psychological issues.

Quality: A much more difficult but an insanely way more fun to play a Dead-Pool because style points are granted to the way a person dies on your list. In other words, you are not just betting that a person on your list will die but hoping that they will do it in a specular, hopefully, lulzy way.

For instance, if Kirk Douglas happened to be on someone's list and he died at home of natural causes, those conditions would earn the better 1 point. Now if Kirk Douglas, for some reason, decides to An Hero by doing a swan dive off a building after shooting up a sorority - massive points for style will be given.

The quality type of Dead-Pool winner is usually decided at the end of the year with the betters deciding who had the most spectatular death. If, as was earlier said, a better had Kirk Douglas going to a sorority in his motorized wheel chair, killing all the girls there to then jump off a building and another player had 10 boring deaths, the person with Kirk Douglas wins.

To ensure that there is no cheating or favoritism a point system is usually created and may look like this:

• Old fuck that died at home of natural cause - 1 Point

• Murdered - This has differant break downs as celebrities can be killed in different ways.

1. Killed by an obsessed fan. Max points. Some people like to add bonus points based on how famous or relevant the celebrity was so someone like John Lennon would get 10 points plus another 10 for relevance where Rebecca Schaeffer would get 10 points but only 2 or 3 points fir relevance.
2. The Rapper. Depends on how they're killed. For instance, if they're a has been and killed in the street buying drugs - 1 point. Killed in a feud by another rapper - 10 points plus bonus points for relevance. Killed in prison, 5 points plus bonus points for relevance.
3. Random murder such as how actor Sal Mineo was held up and then killed by a friendly black man, 3 points plus points for relevance.
