          Okay so i guess you didn't read my thread last week after you said I either missed 3 weeks in a row, or was late, or came after week 3. SO I will give it to you again

          I think you are mistaken. I checked back to week 3 and my record was 0-3-1 and every week there after I played each week and won but some how fell off the standing in week 7? I checked my posting times for weeks 5, 6, & 7 and all were before 8am Pacific time. If you know differently tell me when!


          I lost last week

            My record last week was 4-4 now You have me as 4-5 I posted in time and this was the line as YOU posted it:
            Hawaii 14½ NEVADA
            this means that Hawaii is the favorite giving UP 14 1/2 points, they need to win by more than 14 for this wager to lose, I selected Nevada.
            They won the game outright as a 14 1/2 point dog.
            Please make a correction on my record, if the line was incorrect you should have made a note in the contest and YOU didn't!
            good luck

              garister,
              In the rules it mentions in 2 places to use the USA today line.
              Its YOUR fault for not looking at it. Your not the first one that neglected to look at USA todays line, and surely not the last.

              1. Players in this contest will post one pick per week using the line listed in the respective Weekend edition of the USA today…..SIDES ONLY. If more than one pick is posted the first pick will be used. Editing picks will not be allowed. Once your pick is posted it is official. Saturday games ONLY!!!!!

              10. Use this link to get the Tue line http://www.usatoday.com/sports/front.htm

                Everyone knew that Nevada/Hawaii line was wrong. You can't take Nevada +14.5, it was an obvious mistake or else everyone would have taken it. It's unsportsmanlike trying to take advantage of an obvious error.
                Having said that, as much as I hate calling someone out.....xbigpappa, you obviously don't have the time to do an accurate job of keeping score. This goes back to at least last year. You can find 5 or 6 errors per week on a consistent basis. Sorry man, nothing personal but you obviously don't have the time to put into it. If you don't have the time to do it accurately, and check in more often, you should let someone else do it. The question regarding the Hawaii line was up all week with no response.

                  dragon,
                  I agree xbig doesn't seem to have much time for running this but as far as the questions to him about the Hawaii line, Rule 1 and Rule 10, say to look at the line yourself.
                  You can click on line history of any game and it will show you the time and day the line changed.

                  For the people that knew its wrong, and even if they didn't know we all told them its wrong, its unsportsman like to still choose the game. I run a pool myself and I would not give you the win.

                    Remember the real purpose of pool, help people ride others with a hot streak on their own sports bets. This is good for everyone, stick it to the books!

                    People who select wrong or mistaken lines doesn't benefit anyone.

                      I agree about the line, and it was obviously a cut and paste that had the error already. Not blaming anyone for that. And you're right, everyone knew it was wrong and had infinite sources to verify it.
                      But there is pretty good money at stake, and the contest does bring in new people to the site. The contest and site lose legitimacy when there are so many errors in the score keeping, and this needs to be addressed right now.

                        I should be 4-5, but I'm listed at 3-6. The difference goes back to week 5. I picked West Viginia in week 5 @ -10 and they won 34-13. I noted this on the week 5 results and it hasn't been corrected as of yet. Thanks.

                          I do agree the score keeping needs to be better.
                          And maybe next season 2 ppl can run it for checks and balances.

                            Since Xbigpappa never responded regarding Nevada, the people who took Nevada should get credit for a WIN, I took Troy they week before cause he posted it as a pickem but I know they were favored by 20. I look for errors in a line and take advantage, he needs to score this correctly, so your saying if I know the line is wrong I have to stay away from it, thats just not right!!! He needs to insure he posts the lines correctly or atleast notfy people ASAP of the error.
                            good luck

                              Yes, you need to point out the error, not try and take advantage of it. Especially in a contest such as this that is among people that interact with one another. We're almost like an office or something. Try that at one of your sportsbooks. It happened to me one time, they had the 27 pt line reversed and when I called to complain after I naturally won, they said they were not responsible for obvious errors. This was an obvious reversal, and if all of us had wanted to be dishonest we would have taken it too, and everyone would have had a "winner". And yes, that is exactly what I am saying. If it is an obvious error you point it out or stay away, like most everyone else did. And Troy was not a pick-em in Week 7. xbigpappa has already explained that he just cuts and pastes from UsaToday, and if there is no line indicated, that means the game is 'off the board'. That's how UsaToday does it. I don't necessarily agree, I think they should put 'NL' or something, but regardless, that issue has already been discussed here. If you got a win for Troy you shouldn't have. I'm surprised we even have to have this discussion, considering your status here. Seriously, man!
