Sports Betting


I dunno, these billionaire mathematicians and number crunching robots in Vegas are alright, but I just glanced at the sports page for five seconds and asked my buddy what his gut says about the spread, so I think we're good this time. Just got a good feeling going into this one. We are so due.

What a dumb hobby. Sure, a lot like drugs can make parties and general social interactions that last longer than 30 seconds reasonably tolerable, betting on a game gives you a reason to pay attention. Throw 50 beans on the line and all of a sudden a preseason cricket match between two countries you've never heard of has all the drama of watching your dad play against Bin Laden in the Superbowl.

I'm no expert here, but I'm pretty sure that with most drugs you buy if they don't work 8 times out of 10 you stop buying them, right? Unless you've got friends in from out of town or there's a party your girlfriend is making you go to in which case you take what you can get.

Anyway, FML and put me on the List. I'm getting out.

Although if anyone has a line on some easy money tomorrow shoot me a text. Let's get this ball rolling again!
