    Was there a score in the last 30 seconds of the first half in the super bowl?

    5 dimes is grading it as a loss.

    I am fighting over an office pool of 1350 dollars because they graded the no score in last 30 seconds as incorrect.

    Got it straightened out. If I had said nothing someone else would have won 1350. I don't think they would have acknowledged the error against them. I knew it took too long to grade the pools last night.

    Lots of props out there. Every year books seem to grade a few wrong on the first try. Good books won't pay out and will double check.

    I don't think making a mistake and correcting it should deserve praise. But that's just me.

    I agree. It's the PC thing to do when things don't go your way. IF I don't count all 54 entries myself nobody will notice this, but me. Somebody got screwed. Trust me.

    For every one customer that notices the error and requests to be corrected there are 3-4 that didn't notice it. So the book doesn't grade correctly those bets of the customers who didn't complaint. Win win situation for them.
