“The Fine Print” by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein
Little Timmy is the best left-handed hitter in the second grade.
Like most red-blooded Americans, when you heard the news that Delaware had legalized sports betting, you were probably ecstatic. When I got the update on my blackberry, I chestbumped my social studies teacher — it was a little awkward, but it seemed right at the time.
And while the news is fantastic, Delaware missed a huge opportunity with this one.
Sure, sports betting is legal…if you’re over 18. Do you know how many kids bet on sports? Take it from me, the stakes on the playground are high, whether it’s Lakers vs. Cavs or Odds vs. Evens. Every classroom has a March Madness Bracket, each advanced math class a Super Bowl pool, and afternoon gym class? I compare it to the horsetrack.
How do you think I got this Armani suit? Let’s just say that my favorite second grader provides for me better than any “Mom” or “Dad” could.

Atta boy Z-man, go for the money!
Z-Man, go find kids in China. I hear you can make bets for them right in the basketball gyms.
