Retirement Account  February 22, 2022
Unless you live on another planet, saving your money in a retirement banking account with its returns is far from a hedge against inflation.  What we are all looking for is a safe return on our investments.    

Now that gambling has been legalized, we get to watch Lottery & gambling advertisement ad nauseum.  Gee thanks as it helps break up the monotony of having to watch the ads of what will become our elected officials.  Well they say that you can bet on anything in Los Vegas but that's not true ... is it?  They say that they want my money but what they really want is the sure thing.  In other words, would you seriously consider putting a dime on the Vikings to win the Super Bowl.  Thanks to Kirk Cousins, this Vikings franchise opened at 40 to 50:1 odds for the 2021 season ... of winning the Super Bowl ... a suckers bets. Well, we investors have no such interest is such a bet, which is clear in how much you're spending on gambling advertisement.  

So you'd like to have a shot at my money.  Well, we want something in return ... call it that hedge against inflation.  What we are looking for is the odds to be able to bet against specific franchises like the Vikings ... "To not win the Super Bowl".  Don't you think that this should be available for the good people of Cleveland, Buffalo, Minnesota & every other franchise than hasn't ever secured that Super Bowl championship.  Now that's a bet where we could get a "return-on" as that hedge against inflation.  Sure, it's not worth your time & effort but would it be if retirement accounts start stacking up against these sure things.  Don't you think Cleveland & Cincinnati deserve some consideration beyond just having that fantasy crap.  Hell, even all those grandma's at the nickel slots might consider laying it down.  Can't you imagine the laughter of Cleveland winning it all with a good half of the region having to pony up for the privilege.  Could you imagine that broke "BASTARDO" explain how he's actually happier in the long run ... hell the government was going to eventually take it anyway.  As for the government ... way too many are trying to 'hang-on" like that century of Red Sox fans all over that New England region.  This might even be a potential solution to Social Security & Medicare because Wuhan certainly didn't work ... except in the death camps in New York.  Instead it's a belief in the NFL &  the omnipotent one.   Mamma made it clear that it's not ok to bet on your team ... but she never said that we couldn't bet against them.          

Of course, this isn't really a bet against this your franchise.  It's an investment in the NFL & how it does things.    

So what would be those opening odds as of the start of the league year & what would be that minimum bet for the faithful to have a shot at a winner.  To be direct, it would be nice to feel the security of all those players being paid all that guaranteed money to screw the suckers out of all those hard earned dollars.  That bet would be as close as we'd ever get to feel like an NFL player.

Sure, the Fudger's had the best team in the NFL for two years but I'm wondering if book now has a problem.  The "Reflected Douche" moves-on to Tampa, assembling an all star team on the dime of the other franchises & they win the Super Bowl.  Stafford moves-on to his assembled all star team & blamo ... Sheepy wins it all.  Where's the money going to go when Rodger's up-roots onto his way to assemble his all star team in his demand to change his legacy.  It might be entertainment but book's got to eat ... people ain't stupid.
