The bad thing about making a bet in Vegas is that if you come really really close, but still don’t hit it, you don’t get any money. Nobody at Caesar’s palace is going to send me a check for almost winning this. I was super close…
Yup $20 turns into nothing, instead of $700. At the time I made the bet, I thought 35-1 odds for the Brewers to win the pennant were ridiculous. And they were, I was right. That doesn’t mean I won, though.
