Don't Be Scared, It's National Tight Ends Day! Travis Kelce and George Kittle Will Score Big in Week 8
Cooterdoodle is back with another installment of Scared Money and she's focused on National Tight Ends Day, especially stars Travis Kelce and George Kittle.
And just like that, our Week 7 Scared Money bet on Rashee Rice's First TD Scorer and 2+ TDs last week cashed. Wasn't it fun??
I'm really growing to love our weekly sweats together. <3
I hope you're ready for a few doozies. Pull up your big boy pants and get out your spare change. Scared money don't make money, baby! And I'm ready to chase more ATDs!
The 3 Scared Money Bylaws:
- May the Odds Never Be In Your Favor: We are absolutely NOT trying to play it safe. The crazier the odds, the better.
- Narratives Are EVERYTHING: Betting on something meaningless is an emotionally empty abyss. Instead, we're buying into the incredible outcomes that we want to become our reality. We're fans of the game—THAT is what drives the bet.
- No wager is too small: Even the smallest bets can give you an INCREDIBLE sweat if they revolve around something you believe in. In fact, the smaller the better.

Scared Money side effects may include rooting for RB2s, nausea and extreme fourth-quarter sweats. More serious side effects may include increased heart rate, high blood pressure and swelling inside of your pants as the parlays come close to hitting. Scared Money Bets are not recommended for pregnant or nursing women as they might forget they are pregnant or nursing during the final quarter of the game. Ask your doctor if Scared Money bets are right for you.
