Last week gave me the bug, placing parlays makes watching all the games more fun, so in addition to my weekly Titans bet and a couple of NCAA bets I placed 4 more parlays, I hit on the least crazy one, yay!

So I got to actually stay up and watch what turned out to be a pretty exciting game last night. Go Browns!
I’m heading up to NY tomorrow and I’ll hopefully get some work done in between the poker. 
I seldom write about my sports betting, mostly because I’m not a long term winner. I’ll occasionally get the bug and throw out some bets and a crazy parlay or two in addition to the 2 NFL pick’em leagues and the college pick’em league I’m in.
This week I’ve already won some very close matchups with a blocked field goal helping the Crimson Tide to cover the 3.5. A one point Green Bay loss, that covered the 2 point spread. And a last second non-meaningful hail mary in the ATL/NO to go over 50.
Then I took all my bets and wrapped them up into a little parlay like so:

Here are the contents of an email I received from a good friend this afternoon:
In the spirit of putting America first, I have decided to reach out to the new Admin by re-naming my Black & White, neutered male freeloading cat of little accomplishment, Obama…..he was previously known as Beauregard.
For the record.
(I think it is only fitting that the picture shows him hard at work in the Oval Office (asleep) sitting on top of my wallet!!!!
I can not recall the last time I laughed so hard at an email.
This may be the one and only political post you’ll get from me. But when things begin to threaten my ability or potential ability to provide for my family then the gloves come off.
I strongly encourage you to wake up and pay attention, this country is falling into a socialist wreck and is a shell of its former self. I don’t know much about economics, but I know that throwing bad money after worse money is generally a bad idea. I try to listen to people who are smarter than me in these instances. I’m a recent devotee of Dave Ramsey and although I disagree with his sometime totalitarian views I can not disagree that the man knows finance. So when he posted his Common Sense ideas for financial solvency in this country, I was compelled to follow his advice. I strongly encourage you to take a look and let your representative know that he will be out of a job if this bill passes. It’s the only thing they care about.
