    We started off Wednesday with 777 Facebook likes and are on a campaign to increase that number. We worked out a deal with Ace Poker Software to give away free software in a random drawing from the list of people who have liked us on Facebook. We sent out a mailer, put the "Facebook Social Plug In" at the top right of the home page, and posted a front page article.

    We've added 300 likes and the number is quickly growing. We've fired most of our chambers, though, so I think the wave of new likes will slow soon.

    Dan set the over/under of total new Likes by Tuesday at 12:15 CT to 1800. I begrudgingly took the under. It's a bet I wouldn't mind losing. We've got a dollar riding on this so it's pretty big time for us.

    Nice extra plug for your promotion. It worked on me (just hit the like button). I think I have to agree with you in taking the under. If I we're right, it's gives me a better chance to win : )

    I'm pretty sure that I'm going to win by dinnertime tonight CT, let alone five days from now.

    Thanks to everyone who Liked PocketFives on Facebook today. We'll be drawing our first winner on Friday midday.

    I dunno Dan, I've seen how this plays out before on other sites. That number's growth will slow down a lot tomorrow. With it already being at 1300, though, I do think you have a decent edge.

    You'll still be eligible to win the Ace Poker Solutions software.
