re: I would like to start a competitive Christmas decorating league

I ended up making around $1000 on those team tickets that night. I actually was trying to get tickets to the game for me and my family by buying rights for tickets if OK State made the championship game. I then started doing the calculations later in the evening and realized no way was OK State getting in, so I sold them. At first I was disappointed because I didn't think I'd be able to get to the game. Then I realized I had made a grand. It was a very odd feeling.

I am glad that I no longer care about college or pro sports that I would be involved in what was essentially gambling to get cheap tickets.
