But if they match up with someone else, the whole shebang is live.

I have some insights on college football that, frankly, you won't get anywhere else. I think Munchkin and the folks at the Advisor will be impressed with my thumbnail outline of what has changed in college football and a little insight on how to deal with it. Obviously, I know something. The fucking Vols, who really aren't any good, are my only wager thus far, but if they win this week, it's ka-ching. That wasn't luck or home crowd rooting. That was analysis. I almost had SMU at long odds, but the QB they started the season with looked like garbage, and I couldn't pull the trigger.

And I do appreciate the Circa odds. Best I could have done offshore was 40-1.

P.S. If you're wondering why I'm in such a pleasant mood after all your grief, it's because I just middled the total of the Kent/Buffalo game. The weather report said high winds, so everyone whacked the Under. The high winds never really came, so I whacked the Over back. Bingo, bango -- LOL. Good to be completely wrong about something and make a bundle.
You can get your mind off sweating bullets over that bet by picking up the phone and doing the interview. Only takes an hour. He does the interviews by phone or Skype. Quick and easy. All you have to do is email him to schedule the time he calls you. You can do it tomorrow. Only takes an hour of your time.

PS I’m not the one grieving. You are as you lie your way out of the interview.

You are a trip. You are literally the only person I ever met who thinks doing a phone interview trumps a live interview. I did interviews when I was 21 years old vis-a-vis sports betting, mickey. Why exactly is it that you think I'm interview averse?

Oh, and I didn't sweat bullets. It was a terrible game, and I didn't watch it after mid-second quarter. It was 19-0. I mean, c'mon, not much to learn. I've seen Kent half a dozen times this year. Surprised I haven't gone blind. They were playing backups the whole game on defense on an 0-11 team. You think I want to watch that? There's nothing to analyze. I did check in with six minutes left and saw that I had a shot, but I didn't follow it or watch it.

I was happy to win, but it was a terrible wager. That was my point. This was not a work of genius. It was bumfuck stupid based on multiple bad weather reports and luck-of-the-draw to middle that game. But I'll take it.

When I told Karen, I rolled my eyes. She said something like, "Well, shouldn't you be happy about it?"
