The bets are in.

Cody's a gamling man. I am not. I think casinos and gambling in general is dumb. I don't want to put my money on anything that I don't know for a fact will get me something - and a slot machine doesn't fulfill that requirement. Not that they're not fun once in a while - blow $20 on the penny slots, get some cheap drinks, hang out with friends - but it's just not my scene normally. For the Florida folks - casinos are legal here as long as they're on a body of water - since we're sandwiched between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers that means lots of casinos for our gambling enjoyment (with that comes all the annoying casino commercials and the "gamble smart" commercials - not sure which is worse). Anyway, Cody likes to play poker - but since we've been so busy he doesn't ever get to go out there. Such is life.
Then there's football. We watch A LOT of football - only college - we sort of gave up on NFL - not really our thing much anymore. Maybe that's where all our time goes - football. Anyway, so each week we always talk about the games and who thought who was going to win and all that. So three weeks ago we decided to combine the gambling and the football. Cody figured it out that if we won 53% of our bets we could quit our jobs and move to Vegas (yeah, right) - the 53% is because the house takes a rake from every bet. So each Tuesday we print out the lines on all the college football games and we each pick 10 to "bet" on (we don't put any money on these -only bragging rights).
Anyway, the first week I was 8-2 (pretty good for girl, huh?) and Cody was 5-5. The next week I was 7-3 and Cody went 5-4-1 (he "pushed" on one because he bet the line and the team won by the line exactly). So as of last Friday I was 15-5 and Cody was 10-9-1. We were doing pretty good. Until this week. This week I bombed - totally. I went 1-8-1 and Cody went 4-5-1. We would be eating Ramen Noodles in Vegas this week if we had money on these games. I won only ONE game (thanks U Conn for making the spread against Rutgers) and lost (or pushed) on the rest! What a rough week for our betting. Oh well. At least we don't have money on them. :)
