I was incredibly excited to watch the All-Star game last night, so excited that I accidentally decided to throw some cash down on the outcome. I’m not sure where my new love of sports gambling germinated, although I’m pretty sure it may coincide with the trip Brendan and I made to Las Vegas in early June. After a solid few days of the tables really clearing us out (we had to eat at McDonalds on our last day), the sports book was the only gambling institution that showed me any love. I bet on the Chicago Rush to win the Arena bowl, and sure enough, they turned my 20-dollar bet into a 20-dollar gain. What a feeling-winning 20 bucks while watching a game. It was probably that moment I was hooked. Lately, I have been betting online at bodog.com, without a loss to record to my name. That was until last night. I took the AL to cover the spread, meaning they had to win by at least two runs, which of course, they didn’t. They only won by one. Although I burnt 20 bucks on the game, it is bittersweet, because the White Sox will once again have home field advantage in this year’s World Series. No, I have not misspoken.
