2019 Degenerate Gambler NCAA Tourney contest!!

I'll find a way to lose this thing yet, Dadgummit!

Actually, even if I'm perfect from here on out (and I highly doubt that), I don't think anyone can take the loser spot away from me. You don't have enough games left to lose this thing.

My pitiful performance now sits at 17-20 (-2500). Perhaps I can get on a hot (lucky) streak and claw my way back into the black. One needs to have a goal.

Today's bets:

1. Gonzaga (-4.5) over Texas Tech
2. Over (139.5)
3. Purdue (+4.5) over Virginia
4. Under (127)

For the record, I will be rooting hard for Virginia to win the game but not cover.

Dadgummit! Like Roy said in his post-game presser about 20 times, it's all my fault. I wish I could have been better for you. He also threw in the third-person reference. So RichardJackson199 sucks right now at losing.

Actually, you know, my last three days combined are positive. Barely positive, but positive. VT did cover, which helped. They also lost, which helped even more.

Well, Jason, twenty bucks separate us.

Cameron Blue won our fake betting contest, overtaking me tonight. Jason is 3rd. Congrats CB.

Well, gosh, I didn't prepare anything so I just don't know what to say. (Seriously, thanks.) I think the lesson here is that if you gamble long enough for the law of averages to make you a winner, you've gambled far too long. I'm truly impressed by NYBri and a couple of others who seem to have a much better system than mine, which involves random guessing.

Actually, if you gamble long enough you are guaranteed to be a looser.

Exactly. But any true degenerate knows, "I just gotta get back to Even!" "I can feel that hot streak coming now." I'm now 3-3 on pie bets.

Of course any true degenerate also knows to give a little selective reporting when the Mrs. asks for your balance sheet. 3-3 on pie bets sure, but I'm 0-2 on beer bets. And that doesn't include Devildeac's beer consult fees which I still owe. I can't even figure it with the juice:

Hah, but not 100% true for everybody. In gambling that is pure chance...yeah....but gambling with skill, ie, picking games, playing poker, there are people who are way ahead in their lifetime. The vast majority, however, are under water.
