in which we jinx ourselves.

I seldom write about my sports betting, mostly because I'm not a long term winner. I'll occasionally get the bug and throw out some bets and a crazy parlay or two in addition to the 2 NFL pick'em leagues and the college pick'em league I'm in.

This week I've already won some very close matchups with a blocked field goal helping the Crimson Tide to cover the 3.5. A one point Green Bay loss, that covered the 2 point spread. And a last second non-meaningful hail mary in the ATL/NO to go over 50.

Then I took all my bets and wrapped them up into a little parlay like so:

6 Team Parlay

Risk US$ 5.00 to win US$ 237.43

So now I get to sweat a 10 point win for the Cardinals to hit a nice little sum of money. GO CARDS!

So now the thing that will kill me is that if I hadn't tried to reverse jinx myself, would I still have lost...
