Not how we wanted to go into all star weekend. Granted, it was only a two game slate last night but hanging a doughnut always causes me to lose sleep, regardless of how many games we bet.

I have to be honest. I had a moment last night when I was watching the LA/BOS game where I told myself I would never watch another NBA game again because things around me continue to break. This time it was a lamp. Next time it could be my dog, or my goldfish. I’m playing a dangerous game and lives are now at risk. It was the kind of thing where if it was caught on camera, I would have anti-gambling lobbyists using the video as the prime case against gambling everywhere in court. What caused it you might be wondering? It’s all a tad blurry because I blacked out for a second, but one missed layup that my 96 year old grandpa with 1 lung (true story) could have made is when I knew that the bet was lost.

Montrezl Harrell, you owe me a new lamp. The game was within 4 points and Harrell had, without a DOUBT, the easiest breakaway layup in the history of the NBA. The ball didn’t even hit the rim. Straight off the backboard. Game over. I think it was in the 3rd quarter but I knew the game was over at that point. Now my 7 year old pug has PTSD from a lamp flying at his head and wont even look at me, so the Clippers will also be billed for his therapy sessions as well.

PSA: Olympus Bets is NOT just me, the lunatic degenerate. Just wanted to make that clear. We have a full team in place with the model, social platforms, customer service, the whole shebang. People should know that the brains behind this thing are not throwing lamps at pugs because of Montrezl Harrell.

Also the new logo is cool as hell if I do say so myself.

This is a season long investment. There will be nights and weeks like this. Not often, but there will be at times. Winners are on the way, more sports are on the way, and 60% seasons are on the way.
