CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!
We're 1-0. Turned that $10 in to a whopping $11. Problem was the horse that won went off at 1/9 odds. We're up $1.

Look at everyone paying it forward.
It's like that Haley Joel Osment movie back when people liked Kevin Spacey.

If I were to order a 12 inch (medium) pizza with the toppings I like on it, and a six pack of Corona (I don't drink and it wouldn't be my choice but they have it) from one of my favorite pizza places, and have it delivered.....


Alcohol: 6 Pack Beer
Beer Options: Corona
$ 20.00

Salerno's Pizza: 12" Medium Pizza
Crust: Thin Crust, Whole Pizza: Bacon, Garlic, Onion
$ 24.50

Subtotal $ 44.50
Tax $ 5.23
Delivery Fee $ 5.00
Service Fee $ 1.76
Grand Total $ 56.49

+ $10.00 tip (which is being too generous but I feel $5 is being too cheap - because it's a bitch delivering to my apartment)

REAL "Grand Total" $66.49

I can get a 2 topping small ( 6 slices ) pizza for 13 dollars and get a 6 pack of Sam Adams for 11. All within 2.5 miles of me.

Tax for that is around 1.70.
I can tip 2 dollars for the pickup pizza.
10 minute trip to 2 stores.

I hedged Gutters bet when we went up 10 on WVU +8.5. Got both bet money back plus 72 cents, sorry Gutter, I didn’t believe.

Dunno what I’ll do with the 72 cents. Maybe print a fire Grimes poster.

Asshole me actually bet a 1/9 horse on top in an 8 horse superfecta. Of course it won and I lost money.
Been that kind of day.

Gee, maybe I'll treat myself to an ice cream cone.

I wasn't profitable, even with promotions, long term. So I have stopped (almost completely) betting Vegas spreads.

Yea, they are a profitable business, they'll win in time if you let them.

The promotions are getting worse and worse ( 25% boosts for a 4 leg parlay is such a sham ).

If i didn't get my gambling fix on the golf course it'd be harder to not be tempted to bet spreads more often. But golf, mostly, scratches my gambling itch.
