I rarely get asked sports-related questions, so I was tickled pink to receive this letter from Chuck of West Virginia.

Chuck writes, "Dear Grandmother Winsome, rumor has it that you've made a fortune over the years betting on basketball games.  If this is true, what is the secret to your success?"

Well, Chuck, the first thing I do is see which team has more white players.  Then I bet on the other team. Remember to not allow your personal feelings to get in the way when betting.
