Pug wins! Pug wins!

Yes, it's true. Our man vs. pug betting challenge has come to an end with a rousing victory for Olive the Pug. Despite a lifetime of sports gambling, Matt Slessler was not able to beat the random picks of a pug dog, who made up for her slow start by accurately selecting nine of her final ten picks.

For winning, Olive will be rewarded with a single slice of bacon. You've earned it, Pug.

For losing, Matt should be forced to get a "PUG LOVE" stomach tattoo.

At the very least, Matt should probably stop gambling on sports out of shame.

Matt can't stop gambling because he has a problem, but Matt will go double or nothing with Olive next year.

Matt is a bookie's wet dream. Did he at least make money on the odds he was betting?

I got mugged in the bowl games this year. I was fortunate to do ok in NFL so I didn't completely lose my shirt, but yes the bowl games were not kind.
