Odds are

Life is a gamble. My life is never a sure bet.

Although I’m officially unaware of the betting pools on various aspects of my life, I would like to give those wagering sizeable chunks of money a fighting chance. These odds are provided for entertainment purposes only, yet no entertainment is guaranteed as a result.

Place your bets.
