Mjd33 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 My buddy had a good question that I wasn't sure of the answer .... tell me what you guys think. He had the 8 and 8 square which would of won him the 4th Q. But of course the game went to OT and guy running the pool is paying out the 4 and the 8 box and he thinks he's getting screwed. What do you guys think ? My opinion was the 8,8 and 4,8 box should split the last payout. What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 What was the wording on the box pool sheet, 4th quarter or final score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the way the board showed the payouts, it said 1Q, 2Q, 3Q & Final. That helped us in our decision to pay out just the final score. Either way someone's not going to be happy. If it is a big issues, I like your idea of splitting it. We may never see another OT in the Super Bowl, but our boards will say Final score from here on out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If drawn up correctly it says "final score" not 4th quarter score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler01 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Same question I got asked Sunday by the guy who made the pool. I said OT should count. Just like if you placed a bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalRuss Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I had 8 8 also in a $10,000 square total and I never thought I won. Common sense would be final. I called the guy and he said he may give me a lil because confusion. I did another square at a business and another sales rep had 8 4 and guy doing squares sister had 8 8. He paid out the 8 8. I suggested he just split the pot 5 ways to avoid confrontation. He said he already paid everyone out and now the sales rep is pissed.

I fucking knew it!! I have always seen it paid out at the end of regulation. My daughter and I had shared squares in our families squares for the SB and I had to leave in the 4th to pick up bae and before I got back it was tied and texted them the winner is who ever has 8 and 8 and by the time I got there the game ended and they paid it out to my brothers bae. I was like oh hell no. So this is the proof I needed to get them back. Tomorrow is my bday and we are all going out to dinner and this will be prominently displayed in the banquet room blown up poster size!!! With the end saying PAY UP BITCHES!!!!!!!!!

I think the wording is very important. Final versus 4th Q. Final ... pay out 4,8. 4th .... I'd split the payout. In future always say final to avoid confusion.

Where as if there is OT then the final carries the payout and the 4th just gets a regular quarter type payout That way if the game end in regulation then the 4th quarter winner gets the final pay out and if it goes to OT the 4th quarter guy gets something and the OT winner gets the final payout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine read 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & Final... so OT did count on mine and the 4th Q score didnt matter. The Final part is there for a reason. If it said 4th Quarter specifically, then the guy with the 8 & 8 should get it all. No split. There is no room for subjectivity here.... what it says is what it is, atleast when playing with peoples money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those I've done have said 1st 2nd 3rd Final which I think is the correct way to do it -- I would only say your buddy has a case if the contest said "4th" and not "final" JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
