Betting in Sideways World

Super Saver down the stretch.....and he WINS! Not only him but me, a man that just got blitzed by the NCAA tournament in such a way that Charles Barkley would have been proud of my losses. But, a timely Woody Page tip and my horse comes in first and at 8-1 odds my account sky rocketed. BUT....lets be honest karma is karma and while some ask for good karma, little do they know is the absence of karma is the most desirable thing in the world. Therefore, good karma leads to bad karma and until one can even out the karma a perfect existence of eternity is not obtainable. With that said, my Super Saver karma led me into riding the Suns hot and building a great little account. Little did I know that the Cavaliers and the Bruins would ruin my world. Its kind of like betting on red after five blacks at the roulette table and seeing that dreadful green zero hit. Thats just life. Well the moral of this story is DON'T take the teams you think are going to win. Bet with your heart (ie if you are like me and you hate the red wings, just bet against them, if you find the canucks disgusting despite those two green man fans, then effing bet against them, and finally if you love watching hockey on tv at great Canadian sites like Montreal (where the ohs and ahhhs of the fans carry over to the TV in an excellent manner that makes the game feel more exciting) then by all means go with your heart and not your head. The point is, DON'T pick Bruins in game six, don't go with the Penguins in game seven and for sure don't go with the under in the Pens v. Habs game. It was a tough night and well, I used to just have tough nights during the dog days of football fall, but now my addiction is roaring its aggressive snarl into the spring. Here's to taking the Celtics, Suns, Canadiens, and well the Twins or any other team that lost in the second game of a double header (seriously look at the winning percentage in the second game of the team that lost the first). I bid you ado until the next time...Go everything Minnesota and pick Super Saver in the Preakness. Just. Do. It.
