Glad you had a good Christmas, CarHauler! I did, too. Despite my liberal political views, I do believe in God and Christ. It's my favorite time of year - everything is so joyful. I got some snow yesterday, but not as much as predicted before. About 4-5 inches.

What a nice Christmas treat it was for the poster to have that $400 win

Congratulations on the big wins. Now if I could just be so lucky...there I go daydreaming again. Spread some of that wealth down south will you, or at least some of the luck, as I seem to have lost mine. You've sent the snow and cold, now send the rest. My kids had a decent Christmas, so I am happy about that. My six year old says Well I guess I wasn't as bad as I thought I was. Santa Clause brought me some toys after all. Poor kid, I guess we scared him so much that he was expecting coal or swi... [ More ]

As for how much I spent, it was nowhere near what I won. As for the football pool, here's how it works.

There is a grid with 100 squares, 10 rows of 10 squares. Everyone puts in a set amount ($2 in the case of my work's pool.) Someone draws the numbers from 0-9 for both teams. If the numbers for each team match the last (ones) digit for the score at the end of each quarter, you take the money. For example, I had Steelers 3- Panthers 0, Steelers 8- Panthers 3, and Steelers 7- Panthers 0. For t... [ More ]

FANTASTIC DoctorEw!!! congrats!

brothadan, I think Doc is referring to a pool where you bet on what the score of a game will be after the 1st, 2nd, quarter, etc.

I had one heck of a merry xmas eve. I got up at 10pm to find that I has won the first quarter of the Steelers-Panthers game on my work football pool, which paid out $25. At around 11, I was in the McDonald's drive-thru before I started my shift at work, listening to the game on the radio to find out I had won the third quarter on the pool as well (with a different square at that) and another $25. Anyway, while on my lunch at work, I got winners of $40 and $400 on instant tickets. And to top it o... [ More ]
