Mariners go all the way?

Back in 2001, I stayed in a Reno Casino as the kick off of a major project. While I was there I put down 20 bucks on the Mariners to win the world series. Upon my return, I placed the betting slip on my cork board where it has remained untouched by all save time.



As many of you know 2001 was the year the the M's went on to win 112 games and then collapse in the playoffs. Well I have always held the belief that the reason they did so well was because I had money ridding on them.

Well this year I had reason to re-visit the same large project during Spring Training, so I put down another 20 bucks to win. I realize that I am taking a risk in switching Casinos, but the Peppermill was were I was staying this time and I could just as easily be that the luck comes in staying at the betting hotel.


One side note: in 2001 the odds were 20 to 1 and the beginning of the season. This year the odds are 50 to 1. I am going to make a huge profit on this deal.
