As I write this, I do not know the outcome of the big Superbowl game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Frankly, I do not believe I know enough to make an accurate prediction.
As you might guess, the subject of this week’s comic is about making a bet, based on either bravado or some otherwise mistaken belief that one knows the outcome of something unpredictable. There are wagers for money and then there are wagers for other things. In either case, the loser comes out with less cash – or pride.
I do not feel confident enough to make a wager for cash. And I certainly do not feel the outcome of a competition that I am not participating in is worth the potential loss of self-worth.
But hey, your mileage may very. Let’s all be careful out there.
