FTO,

There's a troublesome contradiction or misleading advertising going on here: you say here that the competition is free, but when I clicked on the banner on FTO, the screen pops up stating very clearly that entry is $20 and must be paid "up front' by March 1.

The exact text reads:

Entry to the competition will be $20 to be paid upfront by March 1 2002.


So which is it? Free or $20?

Broadie, the FTO site has now been updated, and the tipping comp is FREE!

The comp is *FREE*. You must have an old cache copy of the site on your system.

We don't mislead people thank you very much.

Glad to hear the last comment.

Only one problem with the first assumption: I had NEVER visited the site before, so it could not be an old cache.

i noticed that clitch also. I visited the board and the ad said 20 bucks a go....then I read the post from FTO here and revisited and then it said free. I think there may have been a bit of lag from post to site update.
Still, no harm done....

Damn, there goes my tipping comp for this year. Who would want to enter my comp for free...when there is no prizes, when you can enter FTO's and have a chance to win prizes..FOR FREE! Oh well.

Ah, but Joel, we're never in it for the money...just the prestige (says the man who languished in the tipster's wilderness during 2001).
