I Sure Am Glad I Don't Gamble

Last year I kicked so much ass in my College Pick 'Em league on Yahoo.com that I was tempted to actually start putting money on games. I mean I was calling more than 60 percent of games involving top 25 teams on the spread just like real betting rules last year and I've never finished below seventh out of 16 since I started playing in 2004.

This year I'm in de facto last place. The only guys who aren't picking better than me are the guys who've missed at least one week of picks. What's worse is that I'm picking at less than 50 percent right now. I've never done that poorly. I have no clue what is going on with me. My entire future as a professional sports gambler is quickly circling the drain. Damn.
