Pumpkin spice season is upon us… Or at least that’s what the “coffee artist” told me this morning before I intentionally flooded the self-service bar with my free refill. (I’m not really my best in the morning before my plain coffee, especially when people talk to me, but that’s because I’m usually my best the […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W3] – Closer, closer
Closer and closer… This has got to be the week, right? I went 4-2 last week, and although I rarely look back in my betting life (wish I followed the same principles in my dating life), I think it’s important to point out my undefeated professional picks. Got let down by those darn college kids. […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W2] – Underreaction
An underreaction. It’s really the only way to combat the yearly Week 1 overreactions. They come every season, at this same time, to confuse everyone except the oddsmakers (somehow). By underreacting, you take the power back (which is everything in a relationship – just ask my ex). It’s important to know this dynamic, but the […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W1] – Bets Same Age
The thing I like about sports bets is… I keep getting older, and they — well, they don’t really have an age in the first place. I mean there’s an age requirement for you to gamble (of course), but the wagers don’t really apply to that. Regardless, it’s the start of the NFL season again. […]
March Madness: Sugary16
March Madness bounces on to the Sweet 16. (or the Sugary 16 as I like to say) After a few days back on campus, these “student” athletes (who can now get NIL deals) are back on the court and lines are up to break down. Momentum and routines have changed again. Who’s got the inside […]
64 & Counting (Part 2)
64 & counting… Or, well, I guess it’s way fewer now. 48 & counting then… Luckily for us, that still means there are plenty of great matchups to choose. Let’s get right into it! Mr. Yours Truly, a.k.a. the genius who brought you Never Bet the Farm (Part 1 & Part 2), Mr. SportsKnowItAll, is […]
64 & Counting (Part 1)
64 & counting… Yet, I feel I must address something first. I get asked this dumb question all the time. ‘Ah, well… What happens to you after the NFL season is over, SportsKnowItAll?’ ‘Do you vanish away into thin air or something, gawrsh?’ What type of question is that? Like I’m a fictional character from […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W18] – Hail Mary
Hail Mary time, bettors! Our backs are against the wall… The regular season is coming to a close… And the Mrs. is going to be asking about this missing money come April… (not to mention the OTHER money) So, it’s time to win and end in the green. Only takes one the way we’re betting. […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W17] – Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! And like a bad record on repeat, people have already begun to ask if I have any resolutions for this year. Why would I ever need to change something about myself? I’m awesome! I know it all! The gambling gods are the ones who need to start making some resolutions now, and […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W16] – Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to each and every one of us. Well, except the refs. And speaking of Christmas… All I want this year is a winning parlay ticket. Well… I shouldn’t say that’s the only, only thing I want. But I mustn’t be crude. Tisn’t the season. So, without any further delay, let’s get right into […]
