At the beginning of the season I had TBG explain the whole betting thing once again. Math challenged as I am, it took me but a split second to understand that if I put $100 on Indiana University to win the National Championship, at the odds of 100-1 I'd have $10,000.
He did not agree with me that doing so would be wise.
I'm sitting here this morning, mourning my financial loss.
My team, Little Cuter's team, Sir and FlapJilly and Giblet's team, pulled out a win despite the best efforts of the University of Miami to thwart them. There was a blocked kick run in for a touchdown. There was an interception that saved a game-tying win. The quarterback ran for a touchdown, extending his body over the line in a leap of faith and pain.

I'm glad that everyone is happy. I know that I am too. I know that I'd be a lot happier if I had that $10K in my pocket right now.
Oh, ye of little faith........
I can't say that I really watched much of it, but I had the game on. My son explained why I should be rooting for IU. and then I realized that they were playing Miami, and I don't root for anything Florida or Texas.
ReplyDeleteBut really, my head is full of Seahawks.
Good for your son to explain the whole thing!
