Continuing A Theme

I’ve had a pretty good run recently of betting on things I know nothing about. I won my bet on Crash for best picture, having never seen it or the favorite I picked it to upset, Brokeback Mountain. I also won my bet on George Clooney at the Oscars.. Didn’t see that movie either. Then last weekend I won my bet on Barbaro to win the Kentucky Derby. A bet I placed before it was even known if Barbaro was going to race in the Kentucky Derby.
Continuing the theme, a few months ago I placed a bet on Elliot Yamin to win American Idol. I had never watched a single episode of this season, and I still haven’t. Yet, here I am sitting on a nice bet for the longshot to win and he is now one of the final three contendors. How am I picking these things? Research. It’s amazing what you can learn on the internet. I don’t need to handicap horses, or movies, or singers.. thats a lot of work. All I need to do is read the opinions of lots of other people who have done the work for me and form a consensus opinion.
