SF is pathetic too, you can see how that worked out for me lol.
I don't get into it the way I used to. Basically I start the season with a grand earmarked 'for entertainment purposes only' and if/when I get up by that much I only play the winnings. Should the initial investment vaporize early I am done for the year. Right now minus the $250 I dropped on Denver today I am up $4300 on the season and half of that came from last week. 'Back in the day' I usually rolled more than that most every weekend, of course that was before my semi-retirement when I had more coming in.
I have a close friend who's a bookie. According to him he makes most of his money off of football and he makes plenty (with the lone exception being the Pats).
Sometimes when I sit there with him when he's taking bets I can see how much people bet. It's staggering really.

I am not going to say my life is destroyed by gambling, but it sure as hell f*cked up a bunch of weekends along the road....It's sad when you see people whose lives are destroyed by gambling.

There's a reason why I have never tried meth. Cause I'd probably ****ing love it and I have a hard enough time saying no to pizza. Thankfully I don't have a weakness when it comes to booze or unprotected sex or any of the other vices that could really get me.
I gamble for fun, but when the Pats stop covering like they tend to do I'll probably gamble less. Post Brady and Belichick it'll be harder to hope they cover 10+ games a year.

You know, I thought the Chiefs -3 was a pretty safe bet. I still think that way, just uh...sucks that reality didn't agree. $300 down. Thanks for nothing, Queefs.
