Football pools (at work etc.)

Buffalo66 · Sep 6, 2003

Anybody playing football pools at work with people who don't know much about football? Ain't it fun? I'm in one at work (picking NFL winners straight up) where the guy running the contest put this in his email: "hint: please see the attached preseason records so that you can have a better idea which teams to pick the first week". Also someone responded with this question: "What does the MNF in MNF tiebreaker stand for?"

13 out of 17 other pool participants picked the Jets last night, and most of the money ($450) is given to the participant with the best season-long record! So I'm thinking easy pickens.

Buff,
Man, I've had it with office pools.

The last two March Madness brackets were one by chicks that knew ZERO about b-ball, let alone sports.

The first, "picked the names that she like"

The next one like Syracuse's uniforms.

Unbelievable, un-fuking believable.

lander, dont you know that uniforms are used by Vegas casinos when determining what line comes out on a game?

Its based solely on this actually.

why play office pools when you have the best contests and pools right on the computer and for more money.
