how are things with you? does it ever get annoying having your favorite team ranked first in the country in every sport?

Re: Longest time you've gone between bets

My longest rest in the last 5 years was 3 days and it was caused by the baseball All-Star break!:+textinb3
 

Almost Allright

Glad to hear it man great for you.

Well the difference between football and basketball is I was fool enough to believe the ranking in football. And ran my mouth right along with that belief and got waxed. Basketball not the same, have huge reservations about this team still. But overall it has been a great year to be a Buckeye as far as the Big 10 goes.

And not to hijack the thread I honestly went 4 years between bets. I needed to mature and learn that this is not a get rich in one weekend deal. I went broke many times trying to do just that. i was a compulsive, hyper, poor money management hack at this for a long time.

Its always great to be able to talk shit when your team is #1. who cares if they lost, not many chances for any team to claim the #1 spot and, as a fan, it is your job to tell the other fans that their team blows. great fans are a big part of why these kids attend the programs they do and when your team is #1, it time to flex your fanman muscles. lord knows i talk shit about the vols...even when they were 5-6, as deeds can tell ya, i was talking them up.

:LMAO

5-6 :suit:


i dont know why jim doesnt recruit a bit better. i mean they do well, but he is, imo, one of the best 2/3 coaches in the game. if you give him talent like TN gets, OSU would win with the likes of USC.

so it takes its toll on you over the long haul? i dont hear many people reference taking a break just to refresh their mind. seems like a good idea...just takes more discipline than i believe most of us have. also nice when someone, as knowledgable as yourself, is humble enough to admit the months he has trouble beating.

Re: Longest time you've gone between bets

Thanks Mofome, the vacation was nice, but $1965 for 72 hours off was a bit much.:doh1 The sad thing is, 5 days probably would have been the same price, but we couldn't get the kids watched for that many days straight.

The test results were mixed. Good stress test, but a shadow was on the image from the dye injection. I told them that I was coughing like a bastard and they admitted the shadow could be from my moving during the scan. Also told me it could be scar tissue from an earlier, mild heart attack.

They want me to do a "muga"? test to double-check, but after all the shenanigans, I think I'm getting a 2nd opinion. I know you offered to do that, but I probably should stick to a board-certified physician.:+textinb3

haha, well thats your choice.

i think its a good idea to get a 2nd opinion...seems as if these people had 'better things to do'. they did not show enough concern imo, fuck'em. get seen by a doctor who will contact you as soon as anything is known and/or as soon as they know they may need some more time. we only get one munson in this world, the docs need to treat this with more concern.

i have done this for a good 10+ years

BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE!

if you do something GUNG-HO 24/7/365 at some point in time you crash and burn and mentally fry your brain. walking away and having fun doig ANYTHING else refreshes ones mind in many ways - all of them great

i admit i suck in MLB and NBA and i doubt i combine to make 50 plays on these 2 leagues the entire seasons for each and those i do are usually someone else's. i just can't pick the NBA or MLB to save my life - so why play them? i also NEVER play a game involving Vicente Padilla. i simple CAN'T get a grip on him. i play ON him - he lasts 0.2 innings and gives up 8 runs but when i bet against him he throws a 2-hit shutout - so i NEVER bet ANY of his games because i know i will lose no matter which side i pick

i highly suggest everyone take at least a few weeks off from this and do ANYTHING but play games - you will do it every year and wonder why you never did it before

Re: Longest time you've gone between bets

I think that I missed about 4 days in a row only one time in the past 12 years or so. That includes last month as well. I havent missed ANY DAYS since basketball season began.


And I wont miss A SINGLE DAY during baseball season as that is my best sport

Re: Longest time you've gone between bets

GREAT TOPIC...

I don't believe it is possible to bet all year long and be at the TOP of your game...

My mentor, BW, taught me a lot about sports betting.

One of the pearls I learned to follow was his work ethics. While we worked our asses off from August though March Madness, there was a few month break that was always taken between April and August...

When Football began again, I felt rejuvinated because at times I suffered from what many others do, and that is "BURN-OUT."

There are many ways to win at sports betting, but I don't know of anyone who can do it 365 days a year...

Re: Longest time you've gone between bets

Hey Mo how the hell you doing? :cheers

nice to see you "all-good",
heck good piece here too Big-Mo!

Let's see..
I think I went almost 4 hours without making a bet onetime way back.
yea that congressional act sure didn't affect me much living down here but I do remember back in the spring of '91....

getting here, took my flight 4 hours to get here. By the time I jumped off that plane and could get thru immigration and all the cops at the airport, I was on a mission!

My mission was to get to a place here called the www.delreyhotel.com to "breed the little Natives" and gamble with all my buddies that lived here and had been telling me about this place.

so here I jump into a cab and buddy I make a "be-line" for the Ho-tel and all this action they have been telling me about, with almost $250 dimes in my pocket (well a bag actually) having sold everything I owned at that point in my life back home, I went into this place and started bettin right away!

Tell you what action in that place WOW !


Breeding the Natives all-ways

with you on that burn out-thing buddy,
heck I generally do bet all year tho but try to stay "disciplined" (if possible when I don't drink anyway) I get down $big on just 1 game a day.... win or lose
and have found that week-after-week when I stick to that program I get paid as I have always cashed out weekly, if possible, always
(hello all you neteller fans! think, think son:+clueless ) weekly period!


My moto: Live for the weekend and get paid on Mondays, good advise boy's
TAKE IT!

Re: Longest time you've gone between bets

I'm almost forced to take breaks on a regular basis. My 9-5 life is a drag...it's tough capping games on nights and weekends, working a 9-5 and trying to stay sharp.

I don't have much "gamble" in me...I'll only bet games I can handicap thoroghly....sometimes my mind just gets fried. Can't wait to ditch the 9-5 and just do sports....I'm less than a year away from making this a reality.
