Betting on the Bears

Despite the disappointing outcome of Super Bowl XLI, it was a kick to be in Las Vegas last week with all the excitment leading up to the Big Game. Naturally, I placed a few bets, including the Bears to win/beat the spread (which I lost), the margin of victory (I also lost), and the total points scored in the game. I won the last wager -- a whopping $24.00.

I kept the betting simple. But you should have seen the list of possible bets I could have made, all 10 pages worth! You could wager on everything from how many field goals each place kicker would kick, who would score first and how many tackles Brian Urlacher would have. It was mind boggling. Thank goodness I managed to escape town with my sanity and most of my money in my pocket.
