Another thread got me to thinking about some bets I've made where I couldn't lose. My top three: (1) A guy bet me $100 that Iran had more people than the U.S. (2) Same guy bet me $100 that no defensive end in the NFL weighed more than 200 lbs. (I sure miss working with that guy). ;-) (3) Different guy bet me $10 before an NFL season that the Pittsburg Steelers would play the Oakland Raiders in the Super Bowl. (When he paid off the bet he still didn't realize they couldn't play each other in the Super Bowl). Anybody else know people that have more money than sense?

Another thread got me to thinking about some bets I've made where I couldn't lose.

My top three:

(1) A guy bet me $100 that Iran had more people than the U.S.

(2) Same guy bet me $100 that no defensive end in the NFL weighed more than 200 lbs.

(I sure miss working with that guy).

(3) Different guy bet me $10 before an NFL season that the Pittsburg Steelers would play the Oakland Raiders in the Super Bowl.

(When he paid off the bet he still didn't realize they couldn't play each other in the Super Bowl).

Anybody else know people that have more money than sense?

one guy told me the entire U.S. was going on the daylight savings.

I told him no.  Arizona (I know this because I travel for business and have to visit Arizona every month or two.) , Hawaii and parts of Ohio do not go on daylight savings time. (I thought I heard parts of Iowa also didn't, but I am not sure about that one)

After arguing back and forth for a few minutes, he bet me $20 that I was wrong.

After he googled it on his smartphone, I didn't have the heart to take his money. :roll:

I work with a girl that I bet about another employee signing for a promotion.   I stated that he would, she denied it would happen.   She convinced him without me knowing it, that the new job was a bad idea.   I lost the bet because she stacked the deck!  You would have thought I'd have learned since she did the same to me a few years ago.   Luckily, the bet was cheap.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
