Thoughts on a dispute for me please?

Guy I know runs a ATS Bowl Board. Board includes every game ATS.

Board pays the top 4 with 4th place getting their money back.

Got the original board with lines on the 12th of December. Tiebreakers included total points for Sugar Bowl, Rose and Outback.

After ECU screwed me, I thought I had 3rd locked up as I beat 4th on the Sugar Bowl tiebreaker.

Get an email today saying 3rd and 4th comes down to the BCS Championship game? I thinking WTF right?

I look back at the original board and it doesn't say anything about the BCS championship game. It says the tiebreakers are for Sugar, Rose and Outback. Furthermore, how can you pick a total for a game when you don't even know who's going to play in the game?

Difference between getting your money back or making a profit. Thoughts?

Original rules are the rules... Obviously

Is he a friend?

If so, I would tell him to live up to his original rules, or you 'unfriend' him & tell him you will warn everyone else in the future about playing with him...

Obviously the Championship game wasn't on the card because the matchup hadn't been determined, so it should not come into play whatsoever.

What is he wanting yall to do, pick sides in title game to determine tiebreak?

How much we talking about?

can't change mid-stream, axe him for a rules citation and assuming you're right, axe him for your money

 

[EveryGamblersDream]

You are 100% in the right as you could not have possibly picked a game with the participants unknown. They need to do the right thing & give you 3rd.

 

[PatsFan1283]

yeah sounds like you are getting hosed

 

[Enfuego]

It's not a big amount. 25 buy in gets you 4th and 90 gets you 3rd.

Point is I looked over again and again at the original sent out board and nowhere is the BCS game listed. Sugar is listed #1 and that's what I put the total down for.

If the BCS game would've been listed, I would've asked how we can provide a total for a game when we don't even know the teams.

Make your case with him and see how he responds. You may end up winning anyway, then you can sever ties after the fact, sounds like he is making up the rules as he goes. Is there a possibility he is skewing the rules to favor the guy you are facing? Either way, it sounds like you are at his mercy but hopefully he will do the right thing.

Good luck

Tell him to add up the points again and send him the sheet you got with no title game on it

And how many friends can you unfriend
