Re: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...
I'll admit out here in the open that when me and Blondie both came on board as moderators, we immediately started off on the wrong foot.
Since those opening days, she has become a very good friend and I feel very fortunate to work beside her here. She is an EXTREMELY hard worker and a dedicated and caring person.
She has proven herself VERY DESERVING of being a moderator here imho. :cheers

Re: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...
Ken,
I stood beside you last year at the Rio as you attempted to place a wager with the ticket writer. You asked if you could place a $10,000 wager on Indy. The management was called over, huddled and said no. You asked about 5k. Again denied.
You then asked what would they accept as a max wager. They said $3,300 which you then bet (on the Colts, winner).
A side note to this and a lesson for new wagerers about getting the best number:
I had wagered the previous Sunday on the opening number, the Pats -3. You waited until kickoff and took the other side, Indy, at +6. The Pats won the game by 4. We both went to the cashiers window to collect. A good example about getting the best number.
What is the largest wager you have ever placed in a Nevada casino?
What about a local?
Have you ever been stiffed by a local?

Nick,
I assure you at it was an oversight. Thanks for pointing it out.
I don't believe EOG has become any more about drama and childish antics than in the past.
Our moderators strive hard to keep threads focused on the topic at hand. We encourage MORE HANDICAPPING threads. You will soon learn that whoever is chosen to be our future HEAD MODERATOR will know quite a but about SPORTS & GAMBLING...
We are a tad quicker now than before to pull the trigger on posters whose agendas are to be divisive, childish, and immature. In the past, we didn't have enough posters to BAN everyone who needed to be, but now we do...
If someone is behaving in the manner you described in your question, feel free to inform any of our mods and we will take all suggestions under careful consideration...
Our goal is to be helpful and improve...

Re: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...
GREAT QUESTION...
I have had two sponsors (my first one relapsed after 7 years of sobriety)...
I am very fortunate because both sponsors understand that I entered AA NOT to give up a business that helps pay my bills (gambling), but rather to stop DRINKING and using mood altering substances. While all the "steps" are very spiritual in nature, it doesn't mean I have to quit doing what I am so passionate about in order to recover and have a happy life...

Re: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...
I RARELY bet in a Nevada Casino...
Although I stopped moving for BW 2 years ago, I have been pegged as a BILLY BEARD by quite a few of them, so they don't want my "action."
You probably witnessed the largest bet I placed in a Nevada Casino...
Fortunately, I have NEVER been stiffed by a LOCAL but it's been many years since one of them has booked my bets. It's easier for me to get down in Vegas than to find a local, even though I no longer work for the computer group!

Re: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...
roscoe,
I'd like to think that Lenny will do the honorable thing and eventually pay you. I do know that when I was in Costa Rica last week, I met with him. He has recently paid back CRIS, so he isn't running from everyone.
I can't make promises, but I will mention his debt to you if you wish...
Shoot me an email...

Re: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT...
Here are 4 that immediately come to mind...
I was an "orderly" at a hospital in New York as a teenager...
I worked as a waitor in Virginia Beach (I was awful)...
I worked for ORKIN (I crawled under houses to sell termite protection)
I delivered subs to the dorms in College to pay off a debt to my Bookie (who owned the sub place)...
