Bad bounces happen. So do injuries. So do fumbles. So does strange weather. So do deflected passes that find the wrong hands, causing a fluke touchdown that causes your team, which dominated the game, to lose in the final seconds.
Stupid bets happen, too.
Boy, do they ever happen. So I don't bet football. I retired years and years ago. Better to put that money in savings and take the sure 5 to 6 percent. Better still to go to Times Change for dinner.
