Provided below 2 examples of "gambling". And why I feel no thrill even in putting a dime I own on a slot machine. Not my kick. In my family were 2 uncles that made a living as jockeys, first time I met them was on my grandfather's funeral... they came up with their brand new convertibles cadillac and lincoln. They were the Super Stars on my mother's side... They gave me each "their lucky quarter" telling me not to tell the other kids... each of the kids in the funeral got one, we later find out. Granted, they were very old quarters and looked "special". Every time I saw them they gave me the same advice. Never gamble, never put your money on us. The Iglesias Brothers developed a Reputation as Mafia Jockeys in Puerto Rico. They were great jockeys but they had a master. I HAVE NO MASTER. I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS. I DON'T GAMBLE. NOT MONEY ANYWAYS... MY LIFE BEEN ON THE LINE A LOT. Always wrote a check my body will cash. STILL A WINNER UNTIL NO LONGER AM. Read below and try to make sense...

On Sunday morning, a bettor at a William Hill sportsbook in Nevada placed an $18,000 money-line bet on the Vikings at odds of -1,800 for a chance at netting $1,000.

The Westgate SuperBook told ESPN it took a $9,000 money-line bet on the Vikings at -2,000 odds shortly before kickoff. That bet would have won a net $450.

Both examples taken from ESPN about NFL gambling and losing on today's Vikings-Bills result.
