Not fricking with you, but the way you placed them, it looks like point totals to me...

I mean I agree but based on the way the instructions were worded I didn't even think it was possible to make a pick on O/U.

Please type the word "LOCK" next to two of your game picks please.

I’m just saying a game pick is different than a totals pick and I’m fairly certain that meant that your lock picks were for the spread

Clear as mud...

I think it should be whatever the word came after if they didn't clarify same as I thought Cobb Dawg deserved to be booted for editing his pick post in week one even if a mod could prove he did not edit his picks

It's not.

Instructions say how much game picks are worth. And they say how much over/unders are worth. THen they tell you to put the word "Lock" next to a game pick. They don't say put it next to an over/under. The end.

Ambiguous enough that it should not count as failing to pick 2 locks, plus, a bunch of guys had an over/under as a lock

You're the only one that did it.

Well then I'm guaranteed on the chopping block and this is probably my last week, as I will have the least points, it's Jeff's game and his call

Oh well, but I've always considered a points total pick as a "game pick" when I have gambled...

at least 2 others read it the same way I did

I don't bet money anymore, but when I did, if someone had asked what my "game pick" was, the answer could have been "over 48"

But like I said, your game, your rules...

Also means I can enjoy they LSU beat down of Auburn without having to worry about points, and pull for Vandy as well (not that it will do any good, I think the 'Does are fricked in this game)

Who are they?

You are the only one that specified you wanted your Over/Under to be a Lock. Nobody else did.

INstructions were clear.

There's game picks, and there's Over/Unders. And Locks are for game picks.

don't think it's murky. We all did the same thing.

The people who didn't clearly specified they meant the lock was for the over/under.

Seems simple to me.

If you put your lock after the pick it could mean either. I assumed the lock was a game pick...not the O/U.

I would think if you wanted the OU to be your lock you’d make that pretty damn clear.

Again. You are the only one that "clearly specified your lock was for the Over/Under"

Squatch and Rhode

Both on page 6

Looks like a matter of semantics here, but again, I won't argue whatever your decision is any more than I already have
