Summary[]
T.J. bets Vince his sixty bests Señor Fusion comics for ten of Vince's mystery books that he cannot go without winning every game he plays for one day, because they are all tired of Vince's un-sportsmanlike attitude.
Unfortunately, Vince takes his losing competitively, and starts acting even worse as a graceful loser than he did as an ungraceful winner.
