Hey Mo how the hell you doing? :cheers
in all honesty, things with me are pretty much better than they've ever been. thanks for askin, bud.
:cheers :cheers :cheers
how are things with you? does it ever get annoying having your favorite team ranked first in the country in every sport?
:+clueless
My longest rest in the last 5 years was 3 days and it was caused by the baseball All-Star break!:+textinb3
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.
Mofome, I missed you!:cheers Glad to hear things are going well!:smokesmal
My answer was a serious one although punctuated by a laugh.
Over 30 days
i usually take the entire month of july off EVERY YEAR - i suck at MLB and need a break and if i don't take off July i won't get one - and i need to be ready and fresh for NFLX in august and then play games till June with the Stanley Cup and Omaha
if i don't take off July and bet NOTHING i will be "fried" come august and then i am in bad shape mentally
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
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.
Hey, if you're not able to post a lot in the coming months, please pop in once in a while. There's only one Mofome, too, the site is a lot more fun when you're on board!:cheers
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
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
Hey Mo how the hell you doing? :cheers
