In addition to that, when the Chargers were up 27-0, the chance of us winning that game was supposedly 1.5%. The payoff he bet on, $11,200 divided by $1,400,000 equals .8%. That bet is a total ripoff.

One thing I've noticed, from talking to people who like to bet on sports, is that they think they are a lot smarter than they actually are.

I've noticed this from people in general, irrespective of the subject.

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
