Bad Beat!

A gambler in Delaware ran scorching hot in an NFL parlay to kick-off the 2014 season, until losing the last game. He fell just short of turning $5 into $100,000. He correctly picked 14 straight games (against the spread) and just needed the Colts to beat the Eagles by more than a field goal. The Colts were winning 17-6 at halftime, but ended up losing 30-27. Can you say ouch?

THE Fed-Ex Gamble
It’s one of the biggest brands in the world but it wouldn’t be if not for the risky play of its founder and CEO. More than 40 years ago, 1971, Frederick W. Smith, invested his own fortune, somewhere in the area of $4 million, and an additional $90 million in capital to start an unknown delivery company designed to change to world by allowing people and businesses to ship overnight anywhere in the world. At the time, it was a unique service that nobody else was offering, a grand idea. Just three years in the business was in trouble – a lot of trouble. Rising fuel costs put the company on the brink of bankruptcy, with losses of more than $1 million a month. At its lowest, FedEx had a measly $5,000 in the bank account, not nearly enough to fuel the planes come the new work week Monday. So, Smith jetted off to Las Vegas with his company’s entire bankroll in tow. Talk about a gamble! Smith, silently and discreetly, headed to the blackjack tables in an effort to not only beat the house but save the company as well. The Gambling Gods must have needed overnight service because by Monday morning the company bank account indicated a $32,000 balance, just enough to gas the planes and keep the entire operation afloat for a few more days. By 1976, the company showed its first profit, $3.6 million, and within four years made $40 million. Today, FedEx is reportedly worth between $25 and $35 billion. When his own management asked what he was thinking, risking company funds to play blackjack, Smith replied, “it didn’t make a difference because without the money for fuel for the planes the company couldn't have flown anyway."
