Not here. Final score wins, which doesn't seem fair because it puts those with two of the same number at a disadvantage.

More Free Advice Sought!!
Can any of you health-care types point me toward a website or other resource where I can buy me some medical insurance? Should I just go to an insurance agent?
GOD! What a pain.

Why? 24-14. 20-10. 17-7. 27-17.
The people who are screwed are the ones with oddball numbers.

Oh, I didn't understand Hank's question. Yeah, our pool paid out at end of 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters then double at end of game. My best friend had 0-7 the other way, so even though she barely missed out on the right score end of 2nd quarter, she collected at end of 3rd. This is the first year I actually had a good number (I always seem to have some combo including 5) so not getting paid on 7-0 was a bummer.

How many super bowls have gone to OT?
And don't the numbers also pay out after each of the first three quarters?

thurgreed's point was that if it had, everyone with doubles was screwed for the final installment.

I'm not comparing oddball numbers with good numbers. I'm saying that if the rule was, use end of regulation numbers as opposed to end of game numbers, you would be in a better position with numbers like 3 and 3 since there is no way you can win the big prize if regulation ends up tied 13-13 the other way. Contrast that with 6-3. Of course you can win if you end up with a final score of 23-13, but is it not an extra hinderance people with two different numbers don't have?
I read an article on the frequency of which numbers come up. And obviously some numbers are better to have than others. But, without looking at the statistics, I would much rather have 3 and 0 than 3 and 3 or 0 and 0, because I wouldn't have to worry about a tie game at the end of regulation knocking me out of the money.

Call your physician, your kids physicians and any local hospital you are likely to be admitted to to find out which networks they are in first. You don't really want to be stuck with a plan that doesn't work in your area.
You might want to check with your state bar(s) to see if they offer any group plans that could make it a little cheaper. The State Bar of Texas Insurance Trust, for example, offers three separate plans for attorneys: traditional fee for service, a PPO and an HMO. It looks like they went with Aetna.

You could make the same case for every square that's not a difference of 3 or 6 (or, I suppose, 2).
