We interrupt my little, travel excursions for our regularly scheduled bad gambling habits.
I must say, I’m impressed. Whereas I once thought gambling on football was difficult (heck, we didn’t even know who was going to be president!), you guys have proven me wrong. Out of the thirteen people still eligible to win this thing (this election is not rigged), 7 of us are at zero or positive.
That, my friends, is a pretty impressive showing. I’m not saying we’d all get kicked out of Trump’s Las Vegas casino for winning too much but the pit bosses would most certainly have their eyes on us for beating the house at their own game, which is kind of what Donald Trump did in these elections.
But enough with all the political rhetoric, let’s talk about the polls that really matter. With plenty of season left, here are the current standings. At the halfway point, this is STILL anybody’s ball game.
