I missed the 2nd part. Yeah, Hurl get's 25% of my winnings if I win and ditto I get 25% of his winnings if he wins. So I can't split up my take anymore.
I would be happy to pay half your entry fee though if you want to split the winnings 50%. It's up to you, no worries either way.
tip: Always try and pick teams that play 6 games rather than 7. It's a pretty big advantage.
