Etymology

It says in the article: »It is likely that the word "pot" is related to or derived from the word "jackpot".« Perhaps it's so, but pot (spelling: pott) in old Swedish means "pool/pond" so I guess the word can have a different etymological origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.144.198.151 (talk) 14:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to agree with that; to just say "It is likely yadda yadda" shouldn't belong in a Wiki article. My opinion of this article is that it shouldn't exist at all as it's completely redundant. I'd like to hear other Wiki-goers opinions on whether this article should simply be deleted. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 18:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
