***Rant mode on***
When I was 16 I worked at a gas station on weekdays and the week-ends. I swear it was so slow I had nothing to do most the time unless a storm came. When the rain came it was like they couldn't get enough gas. This was full service too or I wouldn't have minded so much. I was convinced (and still am) they just wanted me to get out in the rain. I spent all summer looking for a guy at the bottom of the hill with a sign who told people to fill up when the rains came.
As I got older and started helping out at a small book it was uncanny how I wouldn't take nothing but straight bets until right near the end. At 10 minutes to kick off I'd get more 5 team teasers, action reverse plays and 6 team parlays then the rest of the day put together. Eventually they even made a rule no teasers or parlays a half hour before kick off but it always bugged me when they did that. It was like they teamed up to swamp us at the most inconvenient time they could.
In college my freshman year I helped out at a supermarket two days a week. We threw stock mostly but had to get them out of the store first. At 5 minutes until closing time it was like the BINGO hall was giving free passes to who could shop the longest. Bless her heart but some 83 year old woman would buy two baskets at closing time and be in no hurry to do it either. This wasn't early, what's an elderly woman out at 1100PM for anyway if not to make me miserable?
I was single and did squat with the ladies compared to most but within two weeks of getting married had chicks parachuting out of planes to meet me. That's an exaggeration but was close. I couldn't get laid with a $1000 bill taped to my forehead in a whore house when single but after settling down I dreaded a trip out of the house as I knew I'd meet a new one. I couldn't cut the grass without meeting some hot young lady. I'd get divorced but I know the minute I do the pool dries up immediately.
Don't get me started on money either. Every big hit I ever made was when I didn't need it. Need to win big burn some hundreds on the way to the track. Save your bill money for a month to try and hit one and good luck. I have never come close to a decent hit when stuck, broke or owing someone. If I'm wiping my ass with hundreds and trying to give it away it comes back in droves. I couldn't lose if I wanted to.
