The betting man
12/2/05:
And speaking of betting, I do quite a bit of betting on college football. I have a system (don't you wish you know what it is) based on the options-trading theories presented in a book entitled "Fooled By Randomness," that has proven over two seasons to be quite foolproof. I just took out my winnings this year. Here's the two season breakdown:
2004 season -
initial betting total: $50
season-end total: $238
2005 season -
initial betting total: $200
season-end total: $780
I'd say I'm doing pretty well. The 2005 season was not as lucrative as the one before but in 2004 there were actually several unbelieveable coincidences (believe 'em - it's how the system works) that ended up swaying the balance to my favor. In 2005, I began the first two weeks by losing money, finally reached the final state of fine-tune, and spent the rest of the year racking it up. If I can scrape the money together next year, I'm going in for four figures.
