Patriots vs. Giants: Who's your money on?

I mean, I don't care about sports at all, but I do like to make bets. That was actually one of my new year's resolutions: Make more bets.

So, I've currently got two Super Bowl bets going — I bet one dude that the Patriots would win, and I bet another dude that the Giants would win. I figure, I'm gonna win one of the bets no matter what, so the loss of the other won't sting so bad.

Oh, and in case you're wondering what's at stake: doughnuts. I'm a baller like that.

I don't think that qualifies as gambling. The whole point of making a bet is to win something - not to pay another bet.

We don't know how many doughnuts are on each bet. Maybe she bet only one on the Giants, and two on the Patriots. Then she'd be gambling. Kind of.

Better yet, if she managed to get 2:1 odds on both bets, and bets the same number of doughnuts on each, she ends up with at least one doughnut of her own no matter who wins.

While that still might not be "gambling", it'd be good business.

Anyway, the topic is "who's your money on", not "critique my gambling prowess". With that said: Go Giants!

Come on, I never said I was good at gambling ... just that I wanted to do more of it. Cut me some slack, Jack. I mean, SloSh.
