          dragon and laxsfo.........OK my bad, I know the rules are not clear and I take the blame for that. They will be more detailed for week #2. So, in the meantime and out of good sportsmanship each of you make another pick and I'll cancel out the Thursday game altogether.

          This is the first week and the first year of this contest so we need to be a little flexible, hope everyone agrees with my decision........Thank you.

            The Boys, for what it is worth that was a sound and fair decision based on the circumstances, Job well done

              Thank you for being so gracious. I’m no great NFL capper, so I don’t expect to win the contest or even end up in the top 5. I entered because of the site and your relationship with Jeff who has been extremely gracious with the payouts over the years. I’m just supporting the site.

              So, I’ll take the New Orleans LOSS and as I said before give Dragon the WIN. Over the years, he has also been very supportive of this site and has had the courage to actually make selections that were not in a contest.

              One favor though. The Bettorsworld site, on a couple of past occasions, used to sponsor a NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament. My nemesis, or once in a blue moon a friend, Carpet, would love to have such a contest. So would I. If you could use your influence, I would appreciate if you could check with Jeff sometime next February, 2012 on whether it could happen again.

              Thanks.

                Laxso,

                I have always been your friend, and it's good to see you thinking college basketball

                The Boys said above you need to pick again the both of you do so a fresh start to a tough long road...Good Luck

                  I think that's probably the fairest option and I commend you for including laxfo despite his pick being a loss. It makes sense that if it's not a win for me it can't be a loss for him, the game either counts for both of us or it doesn't count for either of us. So, even though I think it could have been ruled a win under the circumstances, I think this is a 'fair for all' decision.
