My Father's Lucky Betting System

I was raised by my father. My father was a gambler. When I was

14 my father had an incredible lucky summer betting on baseball.

He had worked out a system that won 90% of the time. I didn't

realize it at the time. When my father went on a hot streak he

would become very quiet. I think he feared if he talked about it

the spell would be broken and he would lose. Yes, he was like

every other gambler, he was very superstitious.

Like I said, I didn't realize how well my father's system had

been working that summer until he started renting a different

Ferrari every other week. And then we started dining at much

more expensive restaurants. And then he started buying me top

notch designer outfits. I never asked my father about all the

money. I respected his superstitions. I knew he would tell me

when the time was right.

It was in mid September when my father dropped by my high school

to pick me up and take me home. He wasn't driving a Ferrari. And

he was much more talkative on the ride home. It was at this

point I knew his streak was over. And I knew he would tell me

all about it.

It was while we were eating dinner that he explained the

baseball betting system to me. And I'll never forget the glint

in his eye as he told me the system he had created. He was very

proud that he had thought it up. His system was very basic and

was not based on odds or who was pitching. His system was based

on human nature.

This is what he told me.

"Pam, the way I figured it was that the best time to place a bet

on a baseball team was after they came home from a road trip.

second game. The way I see it is that these ball players have

been on the road for a week or two, they've been eating

restaurant food, they've been staying up late drinking and

screwing around, it takes its toll. Now they get home to their

family life, some home cooking, time with their kids, and they

are more relaxed and they get a good night sleep. The second

game at home, it doesn't matter how good the team is that they

are playing or who is pitching against them these boys are going

to win."

My father made a lot of money that magical summer with this

system. But then it ended. And that system never worked again
