Society & Culture in the US

In the bus on the way home from visiting a casino, my Uncle Andy asked if I was interesting in football betting? I told him I knew nothing about football and therefore never bet on football. He just laughed knowing I was tempted as I have been know to gamble on things I don’t know much about before. The football betting he spoke of was a little different than placing bets on the teams. It was actually a football pool. You just pay your money and the numbers are chosen for you. You only have to pay attention to the last number of the score and if you have the last numbers of the score for each of the teams you win. It is also broken down by quarters, so you have four chances to win each game. Of course, Uncle Andy talked me into getting into this football pool. I never watch football but since I was in this pool I thought it might be fun to follow the game. I really got involved in the game and now I’m hooked. I started watching football and following the teams I thought were interesting. I think I will look into football betting after all. I actually just bought the best-priced tickets to the game this weekend.
