good point

In fact, how about this:
For every team above that beats the expected wins in this prediction, I will donate $50 to the American Cancer Society.
Go WL, go!
book it.

Great initiative.
I will do the same (to the Norwegian Cancer Society)
This is truly awesome. Way to take the usual WL smack and make it mean something. Well done guys!

These people already donate to charity. Many of the charities have a "blank receipt" policy so you can exaggerate your contribution amounts on your tax return and actually make money by donating to charity. This is something these people do already so by them saying that they are doing it on behalf of your win total nothing is actually changing.
I guess long term the impact is taking revenue from the IRS so that your (low income people like madcow/trevjo/etc..) taxes remain at a high level.
I suggest you ask them to decrease their donation amount for each win.

Nice work there, buzzkill
Yes, I personally donate to charites every year, and I also donate food from our company to food banks and to the relief efforts on the Gulf Coast (oil spill and Katrina), the midwest (floods last year), Oklahoma, Missouri etc (storms), all sorts of places.
I also volunteer my time at a food bank / kitchen locally, though admittedly I only manage to do that about 8-10 times per year when my goal was to do it every week
Not sure how charitable contributions are handled in the Norwegian tax code, but I agree, Cavalier is probably actually making money off this thing in some way, no doubt

At least you have come clean about it and I wont let you off the hook just because you posted about volunteering at a food bank as a way to feel less guilty.
Knowing what i do about Cav I assume he uses every means available to evade taxes, regardless of how many laws he breaks or people he hurts.

I am a terrible person which has never been questioned but as someone who is concerned with his resume I am a paper champion when it comes to contribution when stacked up against tautology

To make money off overstating your contributions, you'd have to overstate by a magnitude of around 400%. Do you take taut for a fool? That's understating what taut would do. He not only makes money for contributing, he probably set up his own charity, so he contributes to that and then somehow benefits on the back end too.
4/17 can't get here soon enough for me.

400% is much lower compared to the average overstatement i recommend.
