Moving Quickly

Hopefully I don't spend a lot of time on this update but I often can't help my off topic rants, it just comes natural to me.

Aissa and myself went Apple picking on Sunday at a place in New Boston. Neither of us had much fun. The bees were horrible (I hate bees and was stung like 25 times on 4th of July when I was a youngster and hate them). I suffered about 10 Mosquito bites on my arms and neck. She wore sandals (bad choice on her part) and was miserable walking through the tall grass with them. I was carrying two Pumpkins across the street to my truck when some asshole didn't brake and allow me to cross the other half of the road which pissed me off. After about 1.5 hours of Apple picking we had enough. As we were exiting some bald, old, overweight guy yelled at Aissa for exiting through the wrong area (not a big deal). I mean he really started to scream at her for basically nothing so I told him to shut the fuck up or I would kick his ass. My chick is a second degree black belt in Tai Kwan Do and can handle herself but it pissed me off. Apple picking sounds like a pussy whipped, cute date idea but in reality in sucked. Between the sweat, blood from Mosquito bites, her ruined sandals, etc. it blew.

Since I never really took Football betting that serious and would just throw some money on the team I liked in the game I have decided to do a mock Football betting thing. Basically my ego is so large that I think through Statistics and math I can become a winner. I always ended up a little down or a little up at the end of the season. To be a winning sports better you need to win 52.4% of the time assuming a 10% VIC. The bulk of my bets will be NFL games but I will bet College probably a lot. The amount of people that are winning sports betters after 20 years is probably 100 people. Billions are wagered each year and only maybe 100 handicappers can beat the spread over 1/5 of a Century.

Here's the breakdown:
I will bet certain games and give them a STAR RATING. In this MOCK betting system I have $1,000 that I'm prepared to lose as a bankroll, this isn't rent, food money, or for bills or anything. Each Star is $20 to be bet. Again since I had a horrible start to the season I have decided to try this FOR FUN as I was BETTING for real prior to this Sunday. Perhaps next year I will bet again for real. I will post this past Sunday's games and my bets along with last nights. In the future I will do a blog update prior to the start of the games so everyone believes me. I had a losing day on Sunday so I'm not trying to jump ahead or cheat or anything. Here we go!!!

10-21-07 Picks
** 49ers vs. Giants, take over 39.5 WON
**** Baltimore vs. Buffalo take Baltimore -3 LOST
**** Pittsburgh vs. Denver take Pittsburgh -4 LOST
** Arizona vs. Washington take over 36 WON
*** Seattle vs. St. Louis take Seattle -8 WON
** Dallas vs. Minnesota take over 46.5 LOST

10-22-07
** Jacksonville vs. Indy take Indy -4 WON

So overall between Sunday and Monday I lost $40 or 2 stars. I should clarify what a VIC is for the non sports betters that read. The VIC is a percentage the better has to pay when they lose. For all games I'm using a 10% VIC (very common) Say I bet $100 on a game and I lose then I owe the bookie $110. Every game you lose you must pay an extra 10%, the VIC doesn't apply to games I bet and win, it never applies to wins.

BET AT YOUR OWN RISK IN REAL LIFE

Also, nice of my Ravens to lose to the Bills and nice Pitt. choking against a horrible Denver team. Easily should have at least split those games.
