I put money on the Devils making the playoffs last year. First hockey bet I've lost in a while (though I've obviously made some ill-advised pool selections). Yeah, I know, it was sports, but it was a massive fail.
Definitely predicted that tablets would be at best a niche product when the first iPad came out. "Who wants a product that is essentially the same as a smartphone, but bigger, and doesn't actually perform the "phone" function?" Right, good call there.
I declared to all who would listen in 2004 that Obama would be the first black President, then undercut myself in '08 by swearing that Hillary was going to mop the floor with him in the primaries because I thought it wasn't his time yet.
