I will never understanding why winning isn't enough. There is a guy I'm sure I will tangle with soon if he ever tries to get in my face again, and he will. He can't help himself. The college bowl pick of the season and HE bet $80. Wow! I listened once and it was decent thought process. Too bad he'd blown his bankroll on earlier games and only had $80. Why hear it twice? 3 times? 4 times? I draw the line at one and I guess some find that insulting.

I never watch the games I bet. Why? Too much shit can get in a person's head. But yesterday I had two bets. Toronto Maple Leafs and Portland Trail Blazers. They both presented excellent values. But I stayed and watched the first game because a couple of buddies dropped by and I was done playing blackjack for the day. Toronto played about the first 5 minutes and then took a great big crap on the ice for the next 45. Hard to watch. Worse, is the crap being said. Maybe I should just focus on blackjack. Mind you this was only the 2nd loss since July. Now Johnny Handicapper bops in to speak to how the last 10 minutes would play out. He was spot on. I just didn't need to sit and listen to it from a guy that bets $20 a game.

I turned down tickets to a show, went home, and woke up this morning to see I'd split for the day. Actually a $462 profit for the day. Nothing has nothing to do with when I play blackjack again on Monday or when my next sports value play comes up.
