"You bet against Rocky?"

As far back as I can remember i have loved to gamble. Its in my Jew blood. We've been gambling for thousands of years, we probably invented it. We teach it to little jewbs at a young age; the dreidel is probably the world's oldest gambling game. Our love for money has made us a sick people, and I am trying to remember some of the dumbest/greatest/ridiculous bets i have made. Off the top of my head, here goes:

New York to win the Irish football open or some stupid event like that, the odds were 500,000 to 1. I had to.

If that TV show kid nation would be on for more than 4 episodes before getting cancelled. I said less, but somehow stupid americans liked that fucking faggot show

Whether or not Apple will announce a price cut on ipod touch/classic/iphone at the next macworld expo in jan (I said No.)

Whether or not Apple will announce the Beatles catalog available from iTunes at the next macworld expo in jan (I Said Yes.)

Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards (I picked Umbrella. ella. ella.)

Trickshot billiards on ESPN

Countless number of video games, most fun though is mario party/mario kart/wii sports

Trivial Pursuit

Mini Golf, $10 a hole, 19 holes between 3 people. I won 1 hole. I suck.

Who will die first, Britney Spears or Amy Winehouse (has to be by dec 31, 2008 or bet is void)

Any card or board game you can think of. Kids monopoly with real money. Intense. Aggrevation (some Trouble knock off), what a fitting name. Uno, yahtzee, shit if i can find a 5 year old who will bet on go fish, i'm game.

How many flintstones chewable vitamins i could fit in my mouth at one time.

How many bands Timmy could get through until he puked at the court tavern Jan. 5

Betting on Georgetown basketball for (almost) an entire season because they had a player named Jeff Green. i bet against them once for a huge amount, and of course lost.

Non-U.S. political elections. Like i give a fuck who wins an election in Russia.

After a huge sushi meal betting PG he couldnt eat a huge ball of wasabi without puking for $20. he did it, but it was well worth it.

Andy Scarpula had a box of baseball cards with a guaranteed signed card in one of the packs, betting on which pack it would be in.

Whether or not my friend Kiran could wear a Yarmulka for an entire day in high school (he did it)

One day i woke up too late to bet on baseball day games, the only action was WNBA basketball. I don't remember who i bet on but i lost. I was talking about it at Harrah's and the poker room manager overheard and called me a fag.

TV show trivia. Seinfeld, saved by the bell, fresh prince, anything lets do it. I won a bet that i remembered the Hey Dude theme song word for word.

If youre looking for some action, i'll give you some action.
