#28: Go to a casino and bet something


Last weekend I placed my first bet! I was in Vegas for my cousin's wedding, which happened to be the same weekend as the OU/Texas football game...only Oklahoma State fans plan their wedding over OU/Texas weekend. :-) Fortunately, my mom and dad were traveling with me, so together we found other OU (and some Texas) fans to watch the game with.

The night before the game, I won $50 off of $5 at a Wizard of Oz penny slot machine. VIVA! I took the $45 profit and used that money to place my first bet at Caesar's Palace on the OU/Texas game. I bet the over in the total points of the game (56.5). Thanks to all of the OU touchdowns, the points rapidly rose to a final score of 55-17. And hey, I'm willing to be a truly thankful OU fan; thanks Texas for the 2 points that put the score over 56.5! Winner of my 30 for 30 bet. Boomer Sooner.
