I probably shouldn’t gamble with the Oscars

If you missed the Oscars, then I’ve taken the liberty of informing you of the winners. To make this more interesting, I’ve totaled how much I won or loss based on a bet of $2,000 for each category, my choices and these odds.

For those anxious to know how I did. Well, I lost $2,023. Note that I would never bet $2,000 in each category. I just used that number because I didn’t think to state my bets in the last post. Had I done so I probably would have lost more. I suck at betting. One time I bet my friends Chyna was a girl. Technically I should have won. Her clitoris only looks like a penis.
