  1. Good Morning, Everyone…💲SPENDING TIME IN LAS WAGES!💲

    🎶 When you’re hot, you’re hot…And when you’re not, you’re not…🎶…”When You’re Hot, You’re Hot” – Jerry Reed 1971  https://tinyurl.com/yckha249

    💲The question…Push the BUTTON?…Kathy’s still out on the FENCE,

    She knows that luck’s not with them…it really makes no SENSE…

    It doesn’t ‘pay’ to WOBBLE, no pun intended here,

    Another cash advance and it might put them in arrears

    Maybe fun as it lasted, but not looking for regret…

    They put their money on Mac King and that was their BEST BET! 💲

    Ah, Vegas…The fantasy, the excitement, the al-LURE of that ATM….https://tinyurl.com/mrx4xdxa

    Today’s solve may be familiar to some of you…we’ve seen it before, back on December 20th, 2013, where our question was “Declining their offer to join the poker game would be his“ …and we’ve also had many close variations of it over the years, the most recent being last May 15th https://tinyurl.com/fush46x8 when the solve was “His Best Bet”… It’s a common phrase, so I guess the CHANCE of seeing it again was just in the CARDS  …

    So…Today we find Jeff and his lovely bride, Kathy, at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino  https://tinyurl.com/yfxvnjtz in Las Vegas…(but for the sake of our puzzle, it’s disguised as the Jumble Casino)…And unfortunately today Jeff’s not KING of the Castle… https://tinyurl.com/2s4c2kj7 Obviously not on a winning streak, we hear Kathy saying that it may be time to hedge their BETS https://tinyurl.com/2h9ruxpw  and stop gambling. And Jeff, knowing a good thing when he sees it…(note Kathy), agrees…He’s eying the poster BEARing the image of Mac King… https://tinyurl.com/y3uv6cju  and he’s sold…no FISHing around today…And …Poof! …just like MAGIC that gambling al-LURE is a thing of the past…It’s a show IN RED, https://tinyurl.com/557fe2fm  …I mean instead…(The RED we’ve already covered)…The bottom line? Not donating to that ATM? Definitely their BEST BET https://tinyurl.com/suc7rkan

    Jeff’s💎Gems? …Besides Kathy?…The slot machine’s showing the letters J U M with dollar signs 💲and cherries 🍒. The chairs bear the Jumble “J” logo, and Jeff’s drinking a Hurricane. https://tinyurl.com/avstmajj ..Kathy’s wearing a U2 T-shirt, but I’m not sure what the ornate “D” on Jeff’s shirt stands for…The ATM reads…”Withdrawal…$100-$200-$500 and Other Amount”…and the split screen to its side looks to show Basketball…but the other 2 images aren’t clear enough to identify. Since I’m viewing it in black-and-white though, it might show up better in color…But it’s the poster of Mac King, a close friend of Jeff’s, that steals the SHOW…Shown with Grizzly Bear, a long time staple of his act,  his pet Guinea Pig, Colonel Sanders, and a goldfish, incorporated into many of his skits, it truly captures the essence of the man. Mac King is one of the best comedic magicians in the business…and that you can BET on…

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I was going to leave you with a joke about cash machines…but I forget it A T M …Give it a minute…💲🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🤷🏻‍♀️Since she was still on the FENCE about why every BUTTON had a slight WOBBLE to it, her BEST BET at this point was to hold off production until she could make SENSE of it all…🤷🏻‍♀️

    🤷🏻‍♀️The child still did WOBBLE, as he tried hard to walk,
    Cute as a little BUTTON,  he let loose with baby talk…
    Still on the FENCE with all of it…a SENSE of daring though,
    His Mother watched it all unfold, letting her sweet pride show
    She knows he’ll get it soon enough, she wants to help and yet…
    She understands it’s up to him…patience is her BEST BET…🤷🏻‍♀️

  4. 💲If you’re looking to stay in the black,
    Maybe avoid crap games and blackjack…
    While you may do ok,
    There’s times it’s not your day..,
    And a losing streak’s too hard to crack…💲

    🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️There’s excitement while you’re still ahead,
    But it’s easy to land in the red…
    One needs keep common sense,
    Or there’ll be great expense…
    Usually followed with feelings of dread…🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️Jeff and Kathy in Vegas to play, 
    But things just aren’t going their way…
    Losing to a degree,
    So they both do agree…
    Time’s come they just call it a day…🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

    👍🏻 So it’s off to see a show instead,
    Before getting too deep in the red…
    And they’re sure of one thing,
    When seeing Mac King…
    They’ll definitely come out ahead… 👍🏻

    💲Bottom line, yes, gambling can be fun, 
    And there’s times when you’ll get on a run…
    But just know when to stop,
    ‘Fore a bankroll you drop…
    ‘Cause you’d hate to be under the gun! 💲

    • Seems to me the “ornate” D on Jeff’s shirt is the initial logo for Detroit Tigers.

  5. What a way to capture a new week of fun and entertaining jumbles to make up for yesterday’s towel-throwing in one ! The anagrams were all there ! And they even made a nice rhyme ! It makes SENSE to put up a FENCE ! Loved it ! And the jumble with a casino and gambling more , gave me the answer cause it was my BEST BET ! What a great way to start a week off , Monday ! Angela , that was first time I heard Jerry Reeds song , but it was fitting for the jumble ! And your joke I gave it a minute and then another 30 minutes and I had an eyebrow raised , but that’s ok I’ll try to get it ! Have a great day !!!!!

    • If you do, just say you got it..so you won’t spoil it for anyone else…🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. Today’s highlight was a Jerry Reed song…which brought back memories of Smokey and the Bandit….So much fun. Easy blind solve with the B’s and T’s, and BET being pretty much a sure thing. Could have been SAFE or BEST, but I had ’em covered. Enjoy your Monday. Terry

  7. And BTW, please tell us your joke answer tomorrow. I, too, have an eyebrow raised and not completely positive with my answer. Thanks, Terry

    • Hi Terry. I think by now most readers have checked out the post. ATM in texting stands for AT THE MOMENT…Enjoy your day…🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. Good morning. Enjoyed the song choice as well as the Monday easy entrance into a new Jumble week. Not much time spent on the words or cartoon answer. Looking forward to see what tomorrow brings. Until then take care.

  9. An incredibly easy Monday Jumble with an easy quick solve of the anagrams and an even easier solve of the cartoon with only 7 letters to sort out! Chuck.

  10. No bet is the best bet of all

    To avoid a financial fall

    Temptation’s not there

    A loss you won’t bear

    You can avoid gambling’s siren call

  11. Nice and easy puzzle today to start off the week. Happy Monday all! Betty
