A lot has changed in Troy Saunders' life since he placed a $100 bet on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl in July.

Example video title will go here for this video

INDIANAPOLIS — Last July, Troy Saunders placed a $100 bet on the Cincinnati Bengals winning the Super Bowl. At the time, the odds were nearly impossible, with a payout of more than $15,000. “So I’ve placed this bet a couple of years in a row now to try and get my wife interested a little bit more in the Bengals,” Saunders said. “I never thought it was going to happen. They were supposed to finish last place in their division, last place in the conference.” Months later, the team is now one win away from being Super Bowl champions. “It kept getting more and more real. I had to pinch myself a couple of times and realize that it might actually happen,” he said. Saunders said he is a diehard Bengals fan with memorabilia around his house, but his wife Kirstin grew up cheering for the Colts. She said this bet has her changing her mind. “I know I’ll be rooting all the way through for them,” she said. The Indianapolis couple said, at first, the gamble was just for fun, but now it would also be a blessing for their family. “When I originally placed this bet back in July, it was a good time. Things were going well,” Saunders said. Then in November, Saunders lost his job due to COVID-19. He was working with a federal student loans company. The news came just three days before his son, Jordan, was born. “Fate may have it that this $15,000 would come through at the perfect time,” he said. “We would definitely buy a lot of diapers and formula, that’s for sure.”

As expected, the couple has some pregame jitters.

“I’m nervous, like I am playing in the game. Every day I think I have to eat the right meals like the players do and do the right luck things every day,” Saunders said. With a lot riding on this game, the family plans to watch it from home with their newborn. “We had a couple of options to go somewhere to watch the game, but with this kind of money on the line, $15,000 for a $100 bet, I want to really be able to focus on the game,” Saunders said.

Can a +2 be played on a +2?

In an attempt to clarify a common confusion in the game, Uno has confirmed that “Draw Four” or “Draw Two” cards cannot be stacked. “Per management: You cannot STACK a +2 on a +2,” they tweeted and then anticipating the reaction of players added, “Go ahead, roast us.”

From forging strong bonds to prompting major fights, the classic card game UNO has often triggered intense competition among its players. However, this time a “controversial” tweet by the UNO official handle seems to have united the fans of the card game against it. In an attempt to clarify a common confusion in the game, Uno has confirmed that “Draw Four” or “Draw Two” cards cannot be stacked. “Per management: You cannot STACK a +2 on a +2,” they tweeted and then anticipating the reaction of players added, “Go ahead, roast us.” *Per management: 🚨 You cannot STACK a +2 on a +2 🚨 Go ahead, roast us. — UNO (@realUNOgame) October 8, 2020 As expected, it did not take long for the tweet to go viral and be flooded with netizens responding to it. While many disagreed with the rule, others asked them to leave the rules to the players. Here are some of the hilarious reactions to the viral post: No. When a +2 is played the next player must draw 2 cards and lose their turn. They cannot stack. — UNO (@realUNOgame) October 9, 2020 No – we did that once already today 😂 — UNO (@realUNOgame) October 8, 2020 When playing House Rules, you just need to make sure all players agree before starting the game. — UNO (@realUNOgame) October 8, 2020 YES – so we won’t have to delete it later 😅 — UNO (@realUNOgame) October 8, 2020
