I win small meaningless bets.
Once in a while I will win a pile on. I will feel like things are turning around for me... then... WHAM! Back to losing all the time.
The irony is I was a finalist in the USA Today Pigskin Pool the one year I did it. I won 78% of the NFL games.
My life is a lot like this. Glimmers of hope followed by tragic devastation!
