Back in 1994 I made the biggest wager of my then young life when local books here in Buffalo had Arkansas as a deflated 3.5 point chalk ( actual line was -6) over Western New Yorks adopted home team DUKE ( Thanks to Buffalo's own Christian Laettner playing for the Blue Devils from 88-92 ) .....
At the time $4444 was every cent I could get for my 1979 Cutlass Supreme that had mad fat crazy base and deep dish rims ( Booming system and rims were worth far more than the car ) ...
2 weeks before that my fellow degen roommate and myself got evicted , long time Girlfriend's dumped us ...They should have left us 3 months before that when us idiots quit our jobs to become
professional gamblers..
I watched that National championship in my grandparents musty damp basement , drinking crazy horse 40 oncers from the bottles they let me return ....I threw up 3 times during that game from the combination of the nastiest malt liquor , mold and Duke's ability to beat Nolan Richardson's 40 minutes of H E L L ...
ARKANSAS WON 76-72....Covering the deflated 3.5 line by the slimmest margin ...My nickname DOUBLE UP was given to me by pop's long time bookie as he handed me $8,484 in cold hard cash
My whole life changed as I bought a car , and stayed in Sherkston ( Canada ) all summer chilling with beautiful young Canadian women ..Followed by that fall when I went back to college ,and got my shet together
Fast Forward to the Present ( 2022) , Thanks to a nice sports investing run over the last year and half ( up around $56k)
When the bracket came out, I prayed that if Arkansas and Duke met again it would give me the opportunity to put every cent of my bankroll on this once in a lifetime LOCK!!!!
This time there is no worry , as rhe bills are paid , have a good job and the MRS. could care less what I do with the expendable bankroll I've amassed
BEST OF HEALTH ,WEALTH ,HAPPINESS, BKESSINGS AND LUCK TO ALL
THE BIGGEST INVESTMENT OF MY LIFE TO FOLLOW
DOUBLE UP is going to DOUBLE UP
BEST OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS,WEALTH, BLESSINGS and LUCK TO ALL !!

@Contrarian21 Lol you kidding that story was awesome
Thankfully it changed my life , never went back to believing that I could be professional gambler without a job ...
The BILLS success from 1988-92 gave me delusions that sports investing was easy ...Lost my arse during the 93/94 NFL playoffs all the way through to when this wager was made in April of 94 ( believe it was April 3rd)....Learned the hard way forsure
