Let me tell you what I am: I am a man who has bet on the NFL, in one form or another, since 1986.
I was a freshman in high school, a complete sports nut, had been playing Strat-O-Matic baseball, football, basketball, and hockey like it was my job. I played head-to-head with friends and I also played a solitaire version. (I should've stuck with it. I'd be a GM today.)
I joined my first fantasy football league that year, and that league is still going. I made my first bets that year.'By junior year, I was booking bets.
And while my betting has ebbed and flowed over the years, it's been on full flow since 2015.
