Re: "Lay The Favorite"

This film-making must be like, well, gambling.

What little I know about movies, I was taught by my Dad who was a film salesman and branch manager of the Seattle office of MGM back in the 40's through 70's.

His one overriding piece of advice was "you can be successful at whatever you do, just don't go into the film business". 12io4j2w90

I wonder if ComptrBob's father used the word "whipsawed" when delivering the overriding piece of advice.

Parents are like that. As a young man, I told my parents I would like to go into either law or medicine. They were distraught.

They said, "Jeff, why don't you give gambling or rock n' roll a chance first!"

Maybe some of the others can kick in more...

Same rules as the Grand Challenge. This is for charity... surely you can take ten minutes out of your panhandling days and donate some of that precious time to hand-picking selections for a good cause.

We start July 1st.

RTP Real Estate Advice: You Thought Sports Was Bad?

I'm only one man and I can't post there. I understand that my presence might taint the current wisdom that must remain unchecked at RTP as if I could possibly scare them by posting there.

So they have foresaken advice that should have been given in Las Vegas, 2005, and they suddenly turned into Kreskin in 2012.

Sounds like fun to me.

Don't buy a house in Las Vegas. That's kinda the situation.

I realize I can work the EOG posters every which way but loose.

But when I wake up in the morning, I really don't care what will happen all day with sporting events. I only participate to make fun that you do. How many times do I have to tell you that?

Some goofball Head Moderator posts and within 9 minutes Dink is the third post?

Sorry King, but we know where Las Vegas is. We love Dink. He has better hair than Bruce Willis.

King, you really need to lay off.

Don't want to sound like a dick Kinger, but isn't this about the 10th time you threw out a 'Charity Challenge' to JJ? You know he's going to say no, and he doesn't feel bad about it (and shouldn't have to) but how about the hopes you get up of said charity? dinks friend who pops in to say thansk for donations or root for a contest for her charity, you don't think you get her hopes up? and all the time you know JJ's answer is no.

Like JJ said man....Let it go

And, all he has to do is make selections. If that's too much to ask for, then I'm sorry I asked. Offer is still on the table.

Re: Jeff Jones- Hit 60% and I'll donate $300 to Dinky's charity

Funny thing reading these forums man, I'll tell ya.....

Royalfag calls Rail a jackass for sharing the fact LL can be beat, and then says he shares NOTHING, not angles, not plays, nothing because it affects his bottom line (which is fine) and he then challenges everyone to 20k contest like someone on the forum is going to take him on and that the rules would be agreed upon this century.....shit, you and your crew fight over the rules in a $50 contest (Tripp Blows)

And the reason I bring that up is everyone gives JJ shit all the time but would love to have Royalfag balls deep into their ass because they think he holds the secret.

To qoute JJ "CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP"

I will kick in 300 if Jones can pull it off, so long as we can agree to the charity it goes to. If he agrees to Angels Among Us, I will make it 500. Great charity here in Omaha. I cannot wait for fantasy football as I donated an FFPC main event team at an auction. Sold for unfortunately only 2200 or something and is around 1500 buy in. The fine folks at FFPC gave me half off due to their trust in me and me being a large client though. I bought the team and will run it for the lady that bought it. Anything I can squeeze out of it goes to her which will also go to Angels Among Us. Great cause that helps families that have children with various types of cancer. 500 to them if Jones can pull it off and he agree my donation goes to them.

Figures a piece of shit scumbag like Jeff wouldn't even want to help a charity.

Worthless is the best word to describe people like him.

Very generous offers by Kinger, Dink, and Royal.

I'll kick in $ 250 for this challenge... no way JJ can pick 60%. Hell, I'll donate if he can hit 55%. i'll do the same if Teddy can hit 55%. Neither one of them can hit anywhere that number over 100 picks. Alll JJ can do do is look for chips the tourists drop. And Teddy can't find his way home most nights much less pick winners at a 55% rate.

You just can't have enough "charity challenges."

So when I don't hit 60%, are you going to tell your charity, "Screw you. Jeff didn't hit 60%. I'm not giving you a dime!" LOL.

As I've told you before, my charitable work is done exclusively with the fine folks at "White Kids Without IPADs." They do good work.

You simpletons do realize that I can just take every big money moneyline and hit 60% and a lot more.

Making any money would be a different story.

Lack of contribution? This does sting coming from you.

Half the posts here are my incurring the wrath of these geniuses.

Would you prefer, Dink, that I tell you to take the Salamanders -3 tonight because the left tackle for the Gila Monsters had the stomach flu on Wednesday?

Dink, I'll try to do better with my contributions and one day approach your standards.
