Will Steve be able to make up the $10 deficit, or will my lead continue? And then, how will it all pan out when it’s my turn to pick the teams?
Steve has been a basketball fan since he was a tiny little kid. I don’t think I ever watched a full game until I moved to Portland, and only in the past two years have I really cared about my home team.
Will a less passionate viewpoint allow me to overcome the odds? Does Steve love of the Clippers and possible other teams/players emotionally blind him from making the right bets? H is picking the Lakers, and I think he hates them, so perhaps he isn’t playing as emotional as I had hoped.
