Someone had to say it....

Something I just totally do not understand is all this NFL pools everyone seems to be doing at work.  Watching every game and aggravating your entire family with constantly having it on football all day on Sunday will not get you anywhere.  Just because you see them win one game does not mean they will win the next.  It is  honestly up to the players whether they win or not.  There is not an equation that will help you figure out who is going to go further in the playoffs.  Nor is there a ratio you can use to determine who will win which game.  My husband is currently doing this with a bunch of the guys he works with, he knows nothing about football.  But yet he still wants to spend hard earned money on something that has no chance of ever being constant.  I myself do not understand any of this.  Now the stock market is a totally different story at least with it you have a hint at what can happen.  Either the product you invest in is a hit or it isn't.  With the amount of publicity a product has can determine the value in the market and whether you should invest or not.  With these sports pools there isn't anything to help determine the outcome.  That is just my thoughts on the subject.
