Crime

So like many of you I am staying up much later than I prefer to watch the Nebraska at Missouri football game. Late in the third it appears the Tigers will take care of business.

A good friend of mine sent me a text today. He wanted my thoughts on the game. He indicated that the line was NU-3. However he was interested in the over-under of 50. He indicated it dropped 4 points. We discussed it and he liked the under. I told him I wasn't sure but I liked the other side because it moved.

So at the end of the first quarter it is nil-nil in a driving rainstorm. I sent him a text and told him I liked the under. He sent back a text that indicated his bookie wouldn't take it. I about jumped out of my chair. What a load of crap! I sent a text that had multiple curse words and my displeasure. I said then move the line. He indicated that the guy was old and stubborn. Please if you are reading this, don't let your bookie be this guy. Call out his manhood and all the dollars you have donated over the years.
