These are the betting pools for the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season!
To keep it fun, no betting on storms that have already formed!
Note: I've made a few slight changes to some of the sections to make things less confusing --Ryan1000
No actual betting is going on here (that I'm aware of)

Informal betting on strangest storm[]
I couldn't resist. What storm do you think will shred the rules of climatology the most? Please tell why, it makes it more fun.
This section is just for fun. There will likely be no winner. Because of this, you can bet on as many names as you want, but please do not cross out the names as they form, and please do not bet on a storm that has already formed. ;)
