It’s a vacation week, which in the land of Scumbags implies drinking enough Michelob Ultra to construct a appropriate aluminum Christmas tree (and perhaps even get your blood alcohol level up to a .06!), barbecuing numerous meats in 30 degree weathercondition while using shorts and, of course, laying a coupleof private bets while the rest of the household sees Elf for the 3rd time in 2 days.

We’re nearing the end of the routine season, which implies the Rhode Island Scumbag — our homeowner professional handicapper — and I are nearing the end of our year-long wager. And, real to custom, his late-season downturn hasactually provided me the possibility to take the lead when it comes to both total win portion and success.

Being Joey Public hasactually been a fantastic system for Chinz, so I’m going to do the verysame. Bet excellent groups, bet versus bad groups. Just 2  four-unit whoppers this week.
