March Madness Kicks Off

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. So, why am I posting something now? I'm in Las Vegas, of course!

The brackets have been filled out, and the games have started. Despite having a head cold, I am living it up, enjoying every minute of free alcohol and sports gambling. I'm riding high with an 8-4 record in personal basketball wagers. Two of the losses were tough to take. I had Texas A&M with a first half line of -1, and the Aggies (who started the game with an 11-0 lead) crapped the bed by letting BYU tie the game at the half. Similarly, I had WVU with a first half line of-1.5, and the Mountaineers squandered a lead to only go into the half up by 1 against Arizona. I was bitter for awhile, but two wagers on Notre Dame increased my spirits... and my cash holdings.

For anyone that would like to join me, I'll be at the Red Rock Casino, watching the games during the day. On Friday, I'll be at the Orleans Showroom to see the one and only Don Rickles!
