There's pretty close to a 50/50 split with how my co-workers have seen them. Some of them said they make it a point to bring this up ahead of time to avoid confusion, which is what I should have done (hindsight being 20/20 and whatnot). ftr, our office pool has always used the 4th quarter score because somebody brought up this scenario years ago and it was determined to be the fairest way to handle it.
The 'oh well' mindset probably sums this up best. It's like playing a pickup basketball game by 1s and 2s instead of 2s and 3s. It creates imbalances but people just generally don't care so they keep doing it.
I doubt any credible office pool uses the 4th quarter score when the game went to overtime. Nuzzi has run this pool for 15 years without even a hint of confusion as to the rules. That's 15 years, and thousands of entries. ZERO problems.
The only imbalance is in your thinking. I had thought you understood why you were wrong, but you seem to be doubling down on your nonsense. It's time to get over it, and you owe him an apology.
