Player Of The Week

Okay, last nights late night texting I apologize for. I will give you a recap of how things unfolded. Last night dad, J, me, and all of our families were coming back from Shreveport where we were visiting my other brother who lives there. Bored and trying not to fall asleep I ask dad "what is the over under on arrival time??" He says with his supreme driving skills we will arrive at 11:43. I said I bet the over. So the bet was set that if be arrived before 11:43 he won $5, if he arrived at 11:44 or later I won $10, if he arrived within the minute of 11:43 he gets $30. In the car the bet has been made and my nephew says "i gotta pee". We all start to bust out laughing. With that pit stop it added about 5 minutes to our trip. At around 11:00 dad starts to get a little nervous. With my supreme prop betting skills I decide to renegotiate with him. The new bet was if we arrived at 11:48 or under he got $10, if we arrived within the 11:48 minute he got $30 and
he also got my vote and J's vote for player of the week, if we arrived at 11:49 or later I got $15 and dad had to run around the car twice. J and I had our GPS systems working overtime, and the hamster in dads brain was running like a race horse while dad calculated speed, mileage, and time left. We also put a call into Abacus to see who was the favorite. Going off of GPS and all the calculations we knew it was going to be close. At 11:40 we were going under the bridge of Bryant Irvin on I-20. The rules were he could not exceed his speed anymore then 5 miles above the speed limit and he couldn't drop below the speed limit at any time. Exiting 377 he had 4 minutes. At the red light at Williams Rd he had 2 minutes. After the light turned green he had less then 2 minutes. I was getting nervous, I figured I was going to lose I just wasn't sure of how much I would lose. Turning onto Willowbend he had 30 seconds. Traveling down his street at 12 miles an hour
(what is the speed limit on a residential street??) he pulled into his driveway 10 seconds into the 11:48 minute. I lost $30 and dad had become victorious. He won money and because most people voted for themselves as player of the week he had the majority of votes with 4 votes. Props goes to dad for his driving and math skills. As far as his poker playing I guess he did aight. Stupid prop bet, who was dumb enough to bet on that crap??!! I do wish to know what the speed limit is on his street. If it's higher the 12 miles an hour then arbitration may be in order. :)
