Betting Secrets

If you ever want to bet on the outcome of America’s Funniest Home Videos (you know, the one that used to have Bob Saget from Full House, America’s dirtiest comic), I have a secret that seems to allow you to pick the trifecta more than 50% of the time. Always put the videos into these categories which have been ordered by cuteness:

  1. babies
  2. children
  3. animals
  4. everything else

That’s it.

For example, if the videos are of a cat, a boy, and trash cans floating down the gutter, then the boy will win, the cat take second, and the trash cans will come in last. If two videos fit into the same category, use your best judgment about which one is cuter. The cuter one usually does better.

I know you’ll be tempted to further adjust your prediction based on your own judgment of how humorous the videos are. Don’t.

    Poor Bob. You could always somehow tell the guy was utterly disgusted by this bottom-of-the-barrel job that somehow he just couldn’t climb out of.

    Mainly because he had no notable talent, but still…

    Bob seemed out of his element on AFHV. All those cornball jokes, I felt like he didn’t know how to be funny. Now I know why.
