Do you remember your dreams? Typically, I don’t. They say you dream every minute you’re sleeping though, so… wouldn’t it be nice to remember them all? Ever see the movie Inception? A dream within a dream. There are some I remember. I haven’t really had the “falling” dream; the one that I remember a lot is dreaming that I’m late… that I missed my alarm… whatever that means. You know what I was dreaming about last night? Me searching my phone looking for the score of the Stars Kraken game, like multiple times, and each time, seeing that the Kraken had lost; thankfully I was wrong… haha.
Why did I care so much about that game? Well… I bet on it; that makes a big difference. Heck, I was the biggest Knicks fan last night, having 2 separate bets on them, on top of the series bet, and of course, the whole Thibs thing… But yeah, having money on the game = caring more about it. It’s fun; I haven’t been getting too pissed off when I’m on the flip side of the result. In fact, I would say it’s been unnoticeable; need my wife to co-sign that for me. Older and wiser with this betting thing. Anyways, yeah, I had money on the Kraken; I saw they were up 4-2. I was presented with the “cash out” option on Draft Kings, meaning, I could cash a winning bet NOW. Of course, I wouldn’t win as much if I waited until the end of the game and came in with a win, but… you avoid that risk of losing the bet. Well, just before I passed out last night, my brother sent me a text that the Stars had tied the game; dammit! Should have took that early cash out; I didn’t watch OT to find out what the end result was.. thus, my dream.
This isn’t the first time this has happened, when I fall asleep before the end of a game that I have money on. Figure I would stay up to find out… nah. I need my sleep man. But since I fell asleep with the unknown, I dream about it; I dream about checking the result, and most times, my dream tells me I lost my bet; thankfully, that’s not always right, like last night with the Kraken, who won in OT. It’s not like I even have that much money on it; I’ve had this whole conversation already, enjoying the fact that I only lose a small amount when I lose more than wanting to have won more when I win. But last night, I was down to my last $5. I withdrew another $50 btw, so $250 in the bank; I’m a winner, yay! This brought my balance down. Plus, I have a $20 series bet on the Knicks out there, so my balance was low to begin with. But during last night’s action, I was down to $5 in my account; could this be it??? I was fine with it, but no, it was not it. I hit 2 bets on the Knicks, the Lakers ML, and of course, the Kraken. I woke up to $47.04 in my account; I live to bet another day! Already on the Devils tonight FYI.
I just crack up about me dreaming about these $5 bets… haha. No, I’m not dreaming about our finances, my son’s future, or what thing to do around the house next. No, I’m dreaming about whether or not I’ve lost a $5 bet; fricking hilarious. Keep it light man, keep it light…
