Uncle Max vs. Repeat Winners: Homestead


Ugh.  Some months you just can’t catch a break

In the sports gambling world I’m winless in Nascar (sorry about that), although at least there haven’t been any repeat winners yet.  I lost big on the Super Bowl, none of my fantasy basketball teams are going great, and for the second straight year there might not be a work March Madness pool—and this time it won’t (hopefully) be because of a worldwide pandemic.

That’s because we have a major corporate visit coming up in early March, and to say its “all hands on deck” is an understatement.  Everybody on the management team is working overtime (including yours truly) and there’s been a crazy focus on us following EVERY SINGLE RULE.  So that means no on-site gambling, even if its just people tossing in five bucks to pick teams based on mascots they like.  I tell you, if it wasn’t for the moderate pay scale that keeps me in a reasonably-appointed town house, I wouldn’t be there.
