The Bookies Do It Again
Posted: January 10th, 2012 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »Over the weekend, there were some pretty good football
games and none better than the matchup of the mighty
Pittsburgh Steelers and the lowly Denver Broncos. On
sports radio and television, all the prognosticators had
Pittsburgh annihilating Denver and, in addition, had Tim
Tebow being benched, in favor of Brady Quinn.
The bookies, those guys who take bets in the billions
almost every NFL weekend, love a good setup. This
one was nearly perfect. All the big money was on the
Steelers, which was just what they wanted. Nobody
gave Denver a chance to win. In my small circle of friends,
everybody had the Steelers winning by at least 17 points.
When I suggested on Thursday that Denver had a better
chance than that, they squealed with laughter. So just for
fun, I bet a steak dinner at the restaurant of my choosing,
with three different "experts."
I got calls after the first quarter, when things were not
looking good for Denver. Then in the second quarter,
where Denver outplayed Pittsburgh, the phone didn’t ring.
I didn’t hear anything at halftime and the prognosticators
stuck with the storyline that "Big Ben has been here before,
and he’ll bring the Steelers back."
That’s pretty much what he did in the second half, in addition
to a couple of Denver mistakes. At the end of regulation, it was
all tied up, and the phone was ringing again. The quote was,
"As soon as Pittsburgh gets the ball, game over!"
But as they say, "The game ain’t over, until the fat lady sings."
The ball is snapped, Tebow rolls left, and delivers a perfect
strike to a streaking teammate, who shed a couple of Steelers,
on the way to the end zone.
Game over. Not one, not two, but three steak dinners are now
mine. (Bill 3:16) And no…I’m not going double or nothing. There
is nothing better than making an expert pay up.
The lesson to be learned here is simple. Tim Tebow is a winner.
The reason he’s a winner is that he works at it. It’s the same
with shedding the excess flubber. It isn’t going to just fall off on
the way to work, or while you’re getting your S groove on, in front
of the television.
But if you pick up my material, where I tell you just exactly how
I did it (lost 55+ pounds and kept it off), and give you a chance to
get that stuff at no charge; well…what are you waiting for?
Can Denver beat New England? I’ll let you know on Friday.
Come join thousands of highly satisfied customers.
With my best wishes for your optimum health,
