Inside Story - Kansas vs. Oklahoma

Question

I have this friend out in Reno who is known around town as "Losin' Lou". You see, Losin Lou has lived in Reno for most of his adult life and is one of those guys you see at a sportsbook with a cigarette in one hand and a handout sheet in the other. Regulars that know Lou likes to strike up casual conversations with him and find out "who he likes". Sure, all these regulars act as though they are just making small talk with Lou, but what they are really doing is fishing for the next fade. Lou doesn't know it but he is thee best fade material in town. He doesn't even know people refer to him as Losin Lou behind his back. Poor Lou.

Losin Lou has always told me that the day he quits betting, will be the day he gets this so-called inside information. That way he can sell off everything he owns (including the shirt off his back) to put it on one game.

Last night, just as Lou was leaving the sportsbook, he bumped into one of the oddsmakers coming out from an unmarked door. The guy started to berate the poor guy for not looking where he was going. He called Lou a "loser" and said "your name befits you". Lou obviously didn't know what he meant. After the guy walked away, Lou looked down and saw a folded up piece of paper. Lou was going to call the guy back to return this piece of paper but decided not to since he was such a jerk. Lou opened it and it read, "Kansas 5 confirmed win".

Lou just called and told me he is going to quit gambling tomorrow after the Jayhawks game. He asked if I wanted to buy his car or anything else he owned. I said no because I'm looking to sell everything I own and catch a flight to Vegas.
