Anyone can do it.
But this week, its different.
Theres no lying to yourself.
Everyone knows theyll be betting on college football, for better or for worse.
Hopefully, everyone reading this sweeps the board, but lets be realmost of us are going to lose.
So instead, I just let it hang.
He snuck up behind me, ripped it off, and I didnt even notice.
Thats what it feels like when your bet is dead at halftime.
Just get it over with and get back to the drawing board.
Therefore, it’s better to know than anxiously wait out a losing ticket.
Its one of the worst feelings in the world.
I get choked up every time I think about it.
But its part of life.
You cant let the pain of loss take away from all the happiness your dog gave you.
The same goes for losing on the last play of the game.
Yes, it hurts, but it hurts because you were close.
It hurts because at one point during the game, you were on top of the world.
It hurts because your head was in the right place, but the ball bounced the other way.
You were practically the 12th man on the field, sweating out every single play.
Thats why it hurts.
And if Im being honest, thats what I look for when I bet.
We all love a sweat-free winner, but unless youre betting life-changing money, we bet for the ride.
I dont want to be dead at halftime.
I want to be on the edge of my seat, fighting for my life.
And even if it doesnt go my way, at least I was there for the ride.
