One of my (17 year old) students showed me the Grey Cup bets he made online on his phone.  Lost every one, to the tune of dropping almost $400 - money it took him a month to earn.  Good thing he still lives at home.

I know I'm a way above average picker from my Fantasy and Blitz Picks results, but I've continued to refrain from dipping my toe into actually betting on the CFL because I know how very difficult it is to beat the house.

I m not a gambler as I find the whole exercise a very greasy sinister way to cheat you out of your hard earned money, and am disappointed all the sports leagues openly advertise and promote it, then hypocritically penalize their players for participating in it, which seems odd--if they can't bet, then you can't promote it, oh, but then you wouldn't get revenue $$$, its sad how we sell our souls to the devil for a nickel.

I thought you had to be at least 18 to place a bet?
