Odonnell Wins 1st Bookie Pool Title!

In yet another dramatic bookie pool finish, Philly's late touchdown propelled Peter Odonnell to a come-from-behind win over Larry Allen, who failed in his bid to earn his 2nd Bookie Pool title. Two-time winner Paul Lilly secured 2nd place despite missing his pick. Neal Faussett won 3rd place for the 2nd year in a row, backing in to 3rd despite missing his pick. Your esteemed commissioner secured 4th place despite missing his pick! Here's the Final Standings and Career Statistics.

In an unusual situation, Al Buddy won 3rd place for the week despite losing $100 and finishing the season with a big goose egg! His tie-breaker was enough to propel him to the impressive weekly 3rd place prize of $5.00.

One Hall of Fame record changed hands: for best career tie-breaker aggregate average, Dino Desantis passed Tim Sannes (10.46/game).

Several Hall of Lame records were set: for longest losing streak, Kevin Hale (12 games). For worst tie-breaker differential on a game, Paul Lilly (68 - remember the Cleveland-Cincy game?!). Despite this single-game futility record, Don Sniffin still had a worse tie-breaker average over the season than Paul! Speaking of Don, he passed Pat Mundy for worst career winning percentage (.334). No doubt Pat is devastated by this development!

Bill Willis remains the pool's biggest financial donator! He has contributed a grand total of $294.00 hard cold cash to our coffers! Let's have another round of applause for Mr Bill Willis! (click here).

Note from Commisioner: If you want the total amount I owe you now, please let me know. Otherwise, if you have under $63 in winnings, I'm going to assume you want it credited toward next year. If you have over $63, I'm going to subtract your fee for next year and send you the balance. See link below to see how much you will owe for next year.
