I've got in pools all my life...... Had a friend place some online bets for me a few times (like when I bet on Rams to win the SB before the season started, won a cool $120 on $10 bet)
Before last years SB I looked at some of the odds on different things & well that's easy...... So I joined Draftkings with a $100.
I placed my bets & got my butt kicked, I ended the day with only $30 left..... So $5 at a time in college basketball I got my balance back up to $200.
Then baseball started & it was easy, I got my balance up to over $800......... then it hit, started going down down (damn spreads) & ended the season with around $175.
Now that football has started I'm back to around $250. (remember I only started with $100)
I know I won't get rich but I've got more than a $100 of entertainment.
You couldn't possibly know the whole story with only half the facts.
