I have SAID many times that it's a mistake to BET against the long-term HEALTH of the U.S. EQUITY MARKETS because it's a mistake to bet against the long-term health of the U.S. economy.

I BELIEVE you bet on yourself and you COMMIT to something and you give all your ENERGY and effort to it, and that's what I've DONE my whole life.

The HUSBANDS, who sometimes have another FAMILY who's GROWN, are going, Now I can spend TIME with my BABY. Oh yeah, I bet your other family is really thrilled.

But I don't BET the FARM on any of those possibilities, EITHER. I'm also PREPARING, intelligently, to walk AWAY from this, and walk away from it happy to have had the experience.

The BEST bet I made that won was on the Tampa BAY RAYS - who had never had a winning SEASON in franchise HISTORY - to advance to the 2008 World Series.

The first bet I REMEMBER was on the Chargers in Super BOWL 29 with my CLASSMATES. I LOST a LOT of weeks' allowance.

It definitely helps that I can BET BIG with ice WATER in my VEINS.

I don't involve personal biases in my handicapping or wagering. I bet against the CUBS in the 2016 WORLD Series, which TAINTED the victory a little. It was still incredible to WATCH.

There are TIMES when you'll only have one or two SECONDS to decide if you're GOING to bet on something and you need to be decisive. You need to do MATH quickly in your HEAD.

I bet SPORTS all the time and very rarely get in a spot where someone offered me EVEN money on something I'm going to get right five out of six TIMES.

You NEED to pick your spots and BET BIG when you identify them. That's BASICALLY my 'Jeopardy!' strategy in a nutshell.
