Everyone will still be in at the end. Ouch. Triple? I don't even get into any that give you a buy-back option after week 1! Wait, that's not true. The one where I took the Chargers is a fund raiser. That one is a $50 pool with a $25 buy-back option in the first 4 weeks, $50 option from weeks 5-8, $100 option in weeks 9-12, and $200 option from weeks 13-16. You can only buy-back one time though.
