Per my earlier confession about being a complete moron about sports betting:
When I signed up, and deposited 100 dollars, MGM gave me (and I guess everyone at MGM Sportsbook Kentucky) what amounted to 4 25 dollar Bonus Bets. I'm sure all of this is old hat to GYERO, but, as I said, not ME.
Anyway, earlier in the afternoon I THOUGHT I was using two of those bets; one of them on Michigan to cover 35.5 and a separate bet on Alabama to cover 14.5
Well, being stupid, that isn't what I did. I (and I still don't know how it happened) ended up combining them into a parlay.
This dismayed me (when I found out I wasn't getting a really nice payout from Michigan) unless Alabama ALSO covered. I tried and tried to disconnect them, but it turns out that a parlay isn't ummm "reversible", IOW, you're stuck with it.
Through sheer incompetence, I ended up making about 86 dollars on money that I didn't even have to put up.
I think that I'm going to thank the universe, for looking out for a humble idiot, that blindly waded into an area of life he has no business fooling around with, cash out, and never look back/gamble again.
