Who would like to win or lose chips dependent on whether Donald Trump is having a bad hair day? This is last call for the chip pool based on "The Apprentice 3" which starts a new season this Thursday.

It would work like this - Each of the potential 18 apprentices would be represented by a chipper. As an apprentice wannabe is fired, that chipper would send one $1 chip to each of the remaining chippers. The result is that each chipper would be risking up to 17 $1 chips. If you are fired the first week, you would be out 17 chips. If your candidate makes it to the halfway point, you would break even. If your apprentice wins, you would be ahead 17 chips.

This would combine a chip pool with a shotgun round robin.

So far we only have eight chippers signed up. However, most have indicated that they will take two spots if the full field of 18 chippers is not reached.

E-mail me if you are interested in playing. The pairings of apprentices to chippers will be done on a random basis.
