Gamblers split tens

I have few joys life. Running on the treadmill. The morning crossword. Watching my golfer double bogey the first hole knowing I'm out of it before 1.3% of the tournament is over. Thursday morning watching the ESPN PGA leaderboard update is about the most fun I have....

Winning Money I won $3,350 on the Chiefs winning the Superbowl. Aren't I an Eagles fan? I'm a money fan. People may find this deplorable, but these are the same people who don't have an extra $3,350. Also, with season long bets, you don't make them to hedge at the...

With 15 years of blogging under my belt, I feel I've hit a new stage of the journey. This is a summary of my past blogging, how I see myself and SplittingTens today, and if I'll keep doing it. The Early Days: Bansheemann7 I started blogging in 2009 for three reasons:...

I'm intrigued by small towns. Punxsutawney has a population of 5,962 and calls itself the "Weather Capital of the World." Every year 10,000 to 20,000 people gather and witness Punxsutawney Phil making his winter weather prediction. When this many people gather in a...
