The World’s Worst Gambler I don’t gamble.  Well, not in the traditional sense.  In life, yes, I like to take risks.  Professionally, I build companies with bold, broad initiatives.  Gambling, however, is something I don’t do.  I don’t have the stomach to lose money.  Any money.  However, I broke from character back in January and bet on college football’s national championship game because my alma mater was playing in it (and won).  So I gambled and won.  Not much, but I won.  I took 90% of my winnings and swept them right into a bank account.  The remaining 10% would be ‘play money’.  So, I bet Wisconsin would beat then-undefeated Ohio State University in basketball last weekend.  I won.  The, I bet a parlay this weekend.  Not knowing the nuances behind gambling on multiple games, I chose 3 games, picked the winner of each game and took the point spread into consideration.  By the end of the 1st game, I thought I lost which would mean the outcome of the next 2 games is meaningless.  I was wrong.  Today, I checked my account and discovered I had won.  After a day of feeling sorry for losing a paltry sum, I’m now reinvigorated.  I won.  If only I knew this yesterday.  Details. -TDX
