The J-Dub Gambling Challenge 2018: Week 8 – The “10 Gambling Answers With Richard Dawson” Edition

Last week, we here at Dubsism hired a psychic to conduct seances to reach into the afterlife to talk to two legendary game show hosts.  First, we asked “The Match Game’s ” Gene Rayburn to give us ten of his famous “fill-in-the-blank” style questions which would be of particular interest to those of us who might enjoy wagering on college football.

In a right and just world, where’s there’s questions, there should be answers.  it would be the stretchiest of stretches to say the blogosphere is anything even remotely resembling “right and just,” especially in a piece clearly aimed at my fellow degenerate gamblers.  Nefarious nature aside, don’t let it be said I’m not going to share the answer you sent to those aforementioned questions.

With that, this is where I’ll turn it over to Mr. Dawson…

LEGAL DISCLAIMER (mandated by our very own Small Town Pizza Lawyer):

Thanks to the Supreme Court, gambling is no longer illegal at Bushwood, sir. However, the Supreme Court can’t really help me unless one of them is willing to keep Mrs. J-Dub from braining me with a cast-iron skillet if she found out how many dimes I’m dropping on college football. That means that as far as she knows, all wagers are mythical in nature and this is in no way, shape, or form a gambling advice column. In other words, if you lose your own “real” money, that’s nobody’s fault but yours, so don’t yell at me when we meet at the plasma center on Monday.
