THE GAMBLER’S ILLUSION
A gambling nut bet on twelve football games over the weekend and lost on all of them. The next weekend, he bet on twelve more football games and lost again. The following week he called his bookie, who told him there were no football games scheduled. However, the bookie explained he could have his pick of either team in eight hockey games. The big plunger sneered, “Hockey? What the blazes do I know about hockey?” Adapted from The Funniest Football Stories of the Century by Scott Anderson
