The Idea

I'm George.  I like golf and I like to gamble.  I'm also friends with Scott.  He too likes golf and lives in Reno.  This weekend we are starting our mission to play Bandon Dunes for $10.  How can this be possible, you ask?  Simple.  Gambling!  Starting this weekend we have each put up $10 and placed a $20 parlay bet - Oregon (-19.5) to beat Cal and Stanford (-5.5) to beat Arizona State.

The rules are simple (and flexible).  IF our initial bet is a winner, we will take half of the proceeds and place another bet.  This will continue until we (a) crap out (not unlikely) or (b) are enjoying a Triple Hendricks with a twist (Scott's cherry to this fantasy) after a glorious 36 hole day of golfing nirvana.

If all goes well, we'll be able to amass enough to cover this after March Madness.  Of course betting on the NBA is frightening, but with a little research and help from other degenerates, we believe that the American Dream can still be ours.
