A couple of them (4 to be exact) decided to pool their $$$ together for just 1 game, my top pick for the week. I really tried to discourage them from rolling the dice on one game and if they wanted to tail me to do it a little at a time over the course of the year. That's not what they wanted. If I lost, even though we were friends out of the office as well, it could affect and strain our relationship in and out of the office. But I caved in to their request with the agreement, win or lose, this was a one time deal only, win or lose, I would never, ever, do this again.
I chose the Baltimore Ravens @ home -1 over the San Diego Chargers. With less than a minute to go, the Ravens were down 13-9 and my cell was ringing off the hook. I chose not to answer my calls and was all but kicking myself in the ass, it didn't look good. Steve Mcnair promptly drove the Ravens down the field and with about 30 seconds left in the game, hit Todd Heap, who stretched every inch of his 6' 6(7?)" frame and then barely, and I do mean barely, stretched across the goal line for the game winning TD.
I won (it was a big bet for me too), they won, they were ecstatic, it was a good bit of $$$ for them as well, but I learned and vowed I would never, ever do something like, that was just too intense and too much pressure. I'm sure whatever gray hair I have today, at least half of it came from that game. They still talk about it today and periodically attempt to pick my brain about certain games. I remind them just how damned lucky we were that day and about our agreement. And while we don't work together anymore, we're all still good friends and I like it that way.
B.O.L TO YOU MY FRIEND!!!
