tough luck

Want to earn money the fastest way?

Bet against me.

I have officially sunk to the lowest of lows in the betting game (and I'm not even talking about the odds game here, just plain old me-against-you bets). Somehow, all the teams I've been picking this year have found a way to screw it over and over again.

To name a few, I chose Boston over Orlando, Houston over LA, Denver over LA, Orlando over LA (Game 4), and Ginebra over SMB.

And in the several instances wherein I backed out of bets, the team which I was supposed to choose went on to win (case in point: Orlando over Cleveland, Ateneo over FEU).

Anyway, the best part of all these losing is that you get to have the feeling that you're really going to win the next one.

The worst part of it is that you get to have that feeling several times before it finally comes true (if it does come true).

But I'm not giving up now, mind you. The pro-leagues may be over, but there's still lots of games to be played on in the collegiate ranks.

Lots of games to be played on equals lots of games to bet on equals more chances of breaking out of this losing skid.

You just wait and see.
