well i started out with just 200 bucks. i madea couple normal bets and a couple long shot parlays on some baseball games, my betting sport of choice
i ended up hitting a long shot and was up about 3 grand, so i was like, that was easy, im gonna do that again, and ending up losing about 2 grand the next night
and man, i hate losing with a passion, so i was pissed and ending up stupidly betting the last grand on a couple more long shot parlays for the next day
well i spent all day hitting balls at the driving range to relieve the stress and when i finally went home and checked the scores i saw that for one of my bets all the teams i picked had won with 1 game remaining. and wouldnt you know it, it was the sunday night baseball game of the week on espn, so i could watch it.
man oh man, that was the most nervewrecking game of my life. the only alcohol i had to relieve the stress was a bottle of champaigne and i was done with that by the end of the 3rd inning. it was a back and forth game with a lot of offense so it was killing me and i have never screamed at the tv so much
but, i did end up winning the bet and i havent bet on a sporting event since, i decided i couldnt take that pressure anymore. besides, gambling has a way of evening out, so i didnt want to risk losing it all.
it's funny, it was actually interference that led to my online gambling ways. there was a news story on interference that there was a website where you could bet on the first song played by u2 at halftime of the superbowl. and then there was another thread where somebody had been in for rehearsal and said what that beautiful day was going to be the first song. soooo, i made my way to the website, put downb a healthy bet and walked away with the easiest money of my life. im just hoping u2 gets to play another halftime show.
