No, Gordon. Greed is not always good. Sometimes it is a terrible idea and results in catastrophic losses. After living the dream of three figures, Scott and I got greedy and decided to roll it all into games last weekend.
As happens to many survivors of traumatic events, I cannot recall the specific details. I just know that somethng very bad happened and by breakfast Tuesday, we didn't have any money. I've news for you Mr. Z, not only do your problems increase with more money, lack of money also creates its own set of problems. For instance, no capital to make more money.
While most people would fold up their tents, Scott and I will use this as a teachable moment. Let's recap some gambling rules that should never be broken:
1) Only bet half of the fund.
2) Only bet each game once.
3) When a shitty team gets hot, and you've picked them - enjoy it, don't make it a habit.
4) They're called "Sharps" for a reason. That reason is because they spend all season figuring out the lines and you spend all week in the office.
5) It's bowl season and no one plays defense in those games - time to ride the over.
Time to get back on that barstool and make this debacle bigger....
