sharing is caring...

so pass it on...
the sweat is valuable. yeah okay.

here's an example of sharing the sweat.
in this year's super bowl, scottmizzy.com and i put down a decent sized bet on the 9ers moneyline. the 49ers were in the super bowl! along with a decent sized bet. can't really ask for much more (sweat-wise)

(and i never really mentioned it, but what a game (superbowl)! i remember thinking when it was 4th and goal and the niners were down by 3, i just sorta took a memory picture, just thinking "as far as the size of sweats go, this is it! this is as big as it gets. your team in the super bowl, big bet, down by 3, 4th and goal, this is it!) soooo, the 9ers lost. and i honestly felt like someone just stole my wallet and kicked my sore lower back and there was nothing i can do about it. it hurt. and i kept thinking to myself "how do the athletes and coaches continue playing after something like that?" like, they were soooooooo close to winning the freaking super bowl, and to come that close? knowing that you might never get back to that same level, i don't understand. i don't know. TO BE COMPLETELY honest, i wanted the 9ers to win, i really really did. but i honestly prepared for them to lose. i don't know if that's just me being me, or if that's how all young 49er fans felt like, or if that's just the poker player instincts coming out. i mean (as far as being a bay area sports fan, life has been very very good lately, giants winning 2 times in 3 years?) but any way, in poker, there's luck and skill. even the best players go on very lucky streaks. so if you're playing poker and keep getting lucky combined with being very good, you should expect to win..and win...but you know eventually it's going to stop. and a good poker player will almost be thinking in the back of their head "i'm probably supposed to get unlucky pretty soon, i'm DUE. and so when it happens. i can't really be that upset, because it's EXPECTED to happen." i think that's how i felt a little after the superbowl, almost like that was supposed to happen, the good run was supposed to end. unfortunately it ended during the super bowl.

ummm, quite the tangent. that was fun
ohh, so example of sharing the sweat?
i watched the super bowl with jessica, she wanted the 9ers to win but i could tell that she wasn't ballsDeep as russ likes to say. (too much, sorry). just randomly, i told her how much scott and i bet on the 9ers. she says something like "Whaaaat? why??? oh no..."

i was so happy with her response, and at that point i knew! that i passed the sweat on!
the superbowl was going to be 5x (five times!!!) as intense now that she knew that i had some $ on the game.  i made the game sweaty for her. amazing. plur...(kidding)
