The Story

About a year ago, I started watching the first three seasons of How I Met Your Mother. In Season 2, Marshall and Barney place bets on why Robin doesn't like going to malls. Marshall thinks she was married in a mall, and Barney thinks she used to do porn...wait for it...ography! It turns out neither of them were right, but the best part was what they wagered. The winner of the bet would get to slap the loser in the face as hard as they possibly could.



An interesting idea. From that point on, my brother Chris and I started placing slap bets on everything from "he's gonna miss this kick," to "no way man, that's a dude." We never slapped each other really hard until the NCAA Basketball Tournament rolled around last March, when we decided that the winner deserved to really lay one on the other guy.

I won because I'm a fucking genius. There's a video of the slap somewhere. When I track it down, I'll throw it on here. Anyway, I made this blog because we are placing another slap bet on the college football season. We're going to pick around ten games per week, against the spread, and the winner at the end of the season wins the slap bet. This blog will serve simply as an easy way for us to keep track of each other's picks along with any other slap bets that may be thrown down in the future.

We may expand our posting a little bit in the future. Probably mostly about college football, but sometimes I might feel the need to vent my anger about the Royals, or maybe I'll just write for schnitz-n-gigglez about something that I think my brother will laugh at. Either way, welcome to The Ultimate Wager.

Mahalo.
