Ok, I am taking my first day out of the office in 3 months...it is my 1st Wedding Anniversary. Me and the wife are taking a boat to a nearby island to play the only first rate Golf Course in Belize.
This got me thinking...
What if I offered betting on what I would shoot? So we put up an over/under on my total score (78) and you guys can bet between $10 and $50 at the Camelot website www.betcamelot.com
We tee off before noon, but since nobody can find out how I am doing, you can bet until 5 PM Eastern Time. I have already consulted a pair of bookmakers from Central New York who are familiar with my game and one set the line at 78 and the other at 80...offended by the 80, I selected 78.
Now some tips on how to wager...
WHY MARK WILL SHOOT LOWER THAN 78
1. Once upon a time, Mark was a scratch golfer or better.
2. In high school, Mark was All-New York state in Golf and was on his way to a very promising College Golf career until the ravages of women, alcohol and bookmaking (not necessarily in that order) took a HEAVY toll on his Golf career.
3. Up until 10 years ago, if Mark did not break 80 it was a shocking event.
WHY MARK WILL SHOOT WORSE THAN 78
1. Mark has been so busy with the sportsbook that he has not played a SINGLE round of Golf in the year 2001. Not one...
2. His game has slipped considerably in recent years now that he rarely plays and the fact that he is pretty much a fat f*ck compared to what he looked like in his prime.
3. To quote a bookie from Central New York, "Hey kid, your iron game is still great, but it's pretty hard to make pars when you hit your driver in the f*ckin' woods and water all day long."
OK guys, those are the facts and the limits on this are VERY small, so it's all for fun. I personally would be shocked if I didn't break 80, but that could be my ego talking.
I hope you have some fun debating this on the boards while I'm gone...I leave for the boat in about 1 hour.
