[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1515023, member: 12570"] There is a pool at a local bar that has 100 squares @ $100 per square. The custom is that the winner will use some of their largesse to buy a round of drinks for everyone at the bar and tip the bartender(s) and bar owner. Several years ago a very well known local businessman won the pool and rather than honor the custom tucked the $10K in to his pocket and left. Needless to say he is no longer welcome there. I have one bet on the game-----$20 straight up with this kid who works at the UPS Store. We had talked about the bet for the two weeks leading up to the game. He wanted 3.5 while I was willing to give him 1. As I was walking out Friday night I told him $20 pick 'em. He accepted. I find it hard to enjoy the game if I know that I have money on it. I would also find it hard to enjoy the game if I played fantasy football. [/QUOTE]
