Ohhhhh I was so close to winning the NFL Football pool at Work yesterday, I was undefeated (hadn't missed any games) coming in to the Steelers/ Chargers game If San Diego had won ....I would have won the pot. But they didn't.....so... I'm still in it for tonight having suffered one loss I need Minnessota to win, and my points have to be good. I only posted because I had never been this close before.  The pot is a little over $700 hundred dollars this week | | |

I see no one has replyed to your post..I guess they are all jealous..Let me be the first to say "CONGRATS" and keep up the good luck.. Thank You VERY MUCH tiggs I don't think it was a jealuosy thing, I think it's just that the Gaming section doesn't get very much air time. But at $6 dollars per person it's kinda lottery realated and that almost equates to 126 people in the pool. And I feel vey Lucky and previledged to have won it. (don't get me wrong I only lost 3 the week before) Any way We've got ours in for this comig week already. (Wed. is turn-in day) ...again THANKS!!!! | | |

Thanks, Needachange23 and Base400 I'll need the $700 as my vehicle is in the shop for repairs but I blew the other $60 on pizza for lunch for everybody. I 'm not really a football fan but we do have a football pool at work. I tried for 2 weeks to get into it but when I was able to pay ($5) he closed it out. The next time I saw him I wasn't able to pay but I could have waited until Saturday or Monday to pay and when I saw him Saturday he had closed it out but this weekI will save my $5I don't really don't understand how it works I just like to gamble. Our pot isn't even near $700. Probably closer to $150Brain Doesen't Start Working Until Half-past Coffee | | |

I agree, I figured Tampa Bay winnig at Home would actually, kinda, be an up-set. Anyway I missed six last time, ....and I got a report that the Winner missed 2. That MINN./ PITT this Sunday has me thinking I might need two sheets.  | | |

Don't go by what I say but I'd go with Pitts..But it's 50-50 but it's at Pitts so that should give them the edge and Minn is way over due for a loss..Good luck and like I say don't follow what I say..Hope you win.. | | |

Well,....You got Pittsburgh right tiggs, They kinda got after the 'senior citizen' of Football didn't they? Anyway, I won that one, but lost 4 this time. Some of these teams are like cold lottery balls, ...every now and then they "pop-up" (Buffalo) Anyway I'm still doing it every week. | | |
