Ok Smashmouth, get this......

You want to bet the aforementioned No. Arizona basketball game. You call your local for the line and he doesn't have a line up for the game. The book than challenges you " if you can name a player on either team, he will get a line up". You then quickly make up the name Johnny Jones (famous) power forward for No. Arizona!!

When your 6 year old wants to book your games so he can earn enough money to pay for college.



When your ex-wife tells the judge she doesn't want alimoney, she just wants to book your games.



When your 6 year old wants his juice, you bring him a glass of OJ, and he says no, the 10% you didn't pay me on the Wake Forrest loss.

One of my favorite things to bet on is basketball totals exactly for this reason.

Watching the game, I usually update in my head every minute in the last quarter. Usually you need less/more than 4 pts/min depending on which side you're on. If you need over 5 per minute starting at minute 10 for an over, or less than, say, 3.5 per/min for an under, you're in trouble.

Of course that depends on the squads, too.

when you call home from work and tell the old lady to leave the phone off the hook so you can listen to the game.
