THE GOOD
Figuring the Garden would be crazy on Super Bowl Sunday, I take the Knicks to lose by less than 6 1/2 (yesss!). Not knowing one thing about Ultimate Fighting, I bet on Chuck Liddel because the other guy looks 50 years old (And David Lee Roth had the loser on his show). And I had a pretty good run at the blackjack tables, although I'm really gettin' tired of that game.
THE BAD
After being up about $500, went all in with a pair of kings at Harrah's (he had two pair). And at the Mirage, took those same kings and went all in against three tens. Meanwhile, the Real World cast reject with fort knox in front of him is saying "you stayed with that?". (Why don't you go pimp yourself junior) Evil has a new name, and it is "Two Kings".
THE UGLY
Jelli The Greek stayed true to form in the football picks department. I obviously took Seattle and the over (I blame the officiating). But the true genius becomes apparent when you look at the parlay bets...
- more than three field goals in the game (only one)
- more than five sacks (four)
- someone will score in the first seven minutes (more like twelve)
- first score of the first half is a TD run (field goal)
- last score of the first half is a field goal (TD)
- Pittsbugh scores first (sorry)
- And yes, I bet on the coin toss, and lost
Ended the weekend up a couple hundred. I'm thinking I'll invest in a flag company (I've heard good things) And look for my new NFL picks podcast in the fall.
PS: The dark, blurry image is what a cheesy Vegas Super Bowl party looks like...more after the jump.
I lost 40 bucks.
I never could figure out sports, as I was taught as a young Brown child in an all-White school, God does not like achievers - only those who are willing to take as much as pain as possible, then you can happily die and reach up as high as your arms can take you, then you get to come back as a moth.
On a much happier note, I hope the plane that crashes into my house is a Cessna, I've always appreciated the design.
Listening to the Firesign Theater all night has made me punchy.
The editor appreciates the error.

thanks for the inspiration jellio. I just got knocked out of 3 online tourneys in a row (all final tables) with: you guessed it, pocket kings.
