I’ve probably said this a dozen times, gambling makes football more interesting because you have skin in the game. Las Vegas is the greatest city for enjoying sports too. Small wonder more people come here than the host city to watch the Super Bowl. Well, football doesn’t “work” live either. The field is a mere 120 yards long (109 meters) and 53 yards wide (48 meters) so it has evolved into being a TV sport. Basketball and hockey rewards you for getting nearby seats. Nosebleed stuff isn’t bad at CPC.
This year I stuck with the Packers despite Rodgers failing to beat the spread last time! I swore off the Cowboys when they did nothing but suck against the Chargers…the Chargers, really? I’m on the fence about the Eagles tomorrow, they did pull through last year on the Monday night game. Either way, I’m up $18.20 on football. Thanks for the interception and choking on Fourth and Goal Jay Cutler!
Anyway, I am jealous of Las Vegas for another reason with football. Things kick off at 10 AM! I was able to have brunch (booze and food), watch the Packers pull through (the spread was 6.5), pet a couple cats and have a nap (I did have four drinks) by 1 PM. Now I can get on with some more fun before catching the latest episode of Rick and Morty. Back in Austin, the games start around noon which gives the god barns time to indoctrinate the imported Republicans and clog up the restaurants and roads.
Despite how Big Jesus has infiltrated the NFLPA, football via LV proves it’s really secular pleasure.
