Superbowl roller coaster/Total losses: $65

February 2nd, 2009 at 07:14 pm

So I was at my usual Superbowl party yesterday. I really choose this party over others because this is a superbowl party done right. Greatly organized potluck; TV in every room (even bathroom) and outdoors. 2 TV on both sides on the room in the poker room so that noone has their backs to the game. 1 special TV with DVR in case someone missed anything. A game room with PS3 for Rock Band 2 for kids and adults.

So there is a proposition events pool with such items as coin toss, first commercial after kickoff, MVP, 1st TD, and a about 30 other stats. Well at the end of the night I was told I won the pool. I get an email this morning saying there was a correction I end up not winning. I had $80, and now I don't. What a tease. Like the hopes of all Cardinals' (who I was routing for) fans.

Total losses for Superbowl Sunday:

-$11 for betting on the Steelers to cover
-$6 for 3 squares in box pool
-$5 for prop pool
-$30 for poker tournament (4th/8)
-$13 for poker cash game
----------
$65 total for fun with friends.
