Bet Against My Own Team And Won: A Cautionary Tale

January 08, 2026 | Filed under: Digital Degeneracy

Let me tell you a story about rock bottom. Actually, it's more like several stories, all involving me.

It started innocently enough. A $20 bet here, a 'lock of the century' there. Before I knew it, I was bet against my own team and won and telling myself it was 'just for fun.' Narrator: It was not just for fun.

The thing about sports betting is that it makes you believe in magic. Not actual magic - the kind where you think 'this time will be different' despite all evidence to the contrary. It's delusion with better graphics.

Stay degenerate, friends. I'll see you at the bottom.
