The NFL is crazy and unpredictable. That’s why I don’t gamble. Insert laughing emoji here. I was 10-5 picking winners (46-31-1 overall) and that’s cool with me. Double digits is where I strive to be weekly and as the bye weeks approach it can be …
It’s hard to lose. Even worse, it’s hard to lose at things I’ve historically been really good at. The over/under is always my strength and 3-12 (26-36-1 overall) is the worst week I’ve ever had by far. It’s horrific. I was 7-8 against the spread …

And animal trainers have used this learning to condition behaviors in dogs, cats, lions, tigers, orcas, dolphins, birds, etc. (For explanations a layman can understand, I recommend Karen Pryor’s “Don’t Shoot the Dog”.)
