So, What's Up with 50 Cents?

This site is a web log (blog) of small bets we make for fun. Like everyone else, we win some and lose some. We do have a "philosophy" about what we are doing:

 

  • Favorite sports are college/pro football (US), college basketball, hockey and occasionally pro basketball, maybe US Soccer
  • We don't "do" bizarre things like Cricket, Darts or Table Tennis
  • Our bets are 50 cents, so when the odds are negative, we are technically making a "less than 50 cent" bet as our return will profit less than 50 cents. Example, betting 50 cents at -120 retuns 92 cents total for a 42 cent profit.
  • We make no claim to knowing anything more than "the next Joe". We are just picking....sometimes....by flipping a coin.
  • We do enjoy the "watercooler" discussions about "how we won 8 cents last night"
  • We work for a living, so losing real money is not an option.
