Let me start this post by saying I'm not a big gambler. I like to play craps, I play black jack from time to time and i've been known to show up at a "underground" card game from time to time. I actually really enjoy it and would probably do all of those things more if i was better at them, but i'm not. I'm not very lucky.
That being said, the one thing i'm good at when it comes to gambling is football. I used to bet on college football every week, and i would win regularly. When i say regularly, i mean i had years where i would be up thousands of dollars, and that's when i only bet 50-200 dollars per weekend. When i got into my current industry, i had less time to watch sports, so i stopped betting college and only did pro football. 2 years ago my bookie went out of business (got busted) and since then i've slowed down a lot on my gambling, but i still do the "sheets" at my job. Last year i won 3 times, and i was in contention probably for another 8-10 weeks. That might not seem like a lot, but realize that there's about 40 people doing this pool, and only one other person won more than once. (a girl who won twice and knows nothing about football). That being said, i called the donkey last week with astonishing news, and he was laughing at me when i told him. I had 1 win last week! Out of 15 or 16 games, i only picked 1 winner against the spread! More importantly, i won the "sheets" week 1, and i haven't even been close since. I said to the Donkey last week, "It's like bizarro sports world"
Turns out, I'm not alone
