I used to gamble a lot about 30 years or so ago, My daughter was born in 1992 and I immediately stopped. When I was gambling, I mostly gambled at the craps, blackjack, and poker tables in Vegas. I was never a big sports better. When I did make a sports bet I never ever bet against the Celtics.
That statement makes me think of old Pete Rose. I loved Pete Rose and his hustle, plus I was a Reds fan for many years when he and Johnny Bench played. Pete of course gambled on baseball, payed a big price, but said he never bet against the Reds.
