For You Youngins Betting Basketball After The SB--From an old timer

[paulfmf]

Not that many years ago, there was no basketball betting til after the Super Bowl.

Don't know if the old bookmakers were lazy or if they didn't get lines until after the SB was over.

Maybe the latter.

Anybody in this forum over 55 knows what of I write.

Side note: We also knew where all the pay phones were located and had have a quarter(s) handy to call your local store.

The smart phone has enabled the s--- out of the common, ordinary, day to day degenerate. Haaaa

I actually hate/hated the pay phone with a passion!!

1. I always felt like it was going to take my money.
2. I felt homeless people would stick it up their private parts or go #1 or #2 on the phone as a prank/for fun.
3. I would NEVER EVER step into the "plexiglass private" pay phones. Those scared me the most! Haha
