True Life: I'm a Degenerate Gambler

This is the first installment in what I'm sure will be the first of many posts about being a degenerate gambler. It is really sickening from time to time, and Wizzer tells me I need help. Our first occurrence comes from ESPN's 24-hours of college hoops, which lasted from midnight Monday night/Tuesday morning until midnight Tuesday night. I wagered on every game (except the women's game) and posted a record of 8-4 (12 games, 2 hours each = 24 hours). I am very proud of myself and learned about the teams involved and hope to use that knowledge to make successful NCAA basketball bets throughout the year. In the 4AM game, Hawaii took on Idaho St., in a game that Hawaii pulled out in OT. The game was a real squeaker (so I read, I wasn't up at 4AM to watch - I'm not THAT big of a degenerate). I was just a little surprised to see a live basketball game in overtime when I woke up in the morning.
