Great Software for the Office Pool
and for following the NFL!
THE FOOTBALL GUIDE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
I am sorry to inform you that production of the FOOTBALL GUIDE has been discontinued. The program is written in an old computer language (Visual Basic 6) and needs to be re-written in a newer language that will run on new versions of Windows. I do not have the expertise or the time to do this.
On the bright side, there are many Office Pool programs on the internet you can use. Many of these let your Office Pool members enter their picks in your pool on line - over the internet. Just do a Search for Office Pool software.
Thank you to all of my loyal customers for the last 20 years for all your support and comments.
