Had to share this silliness. I just wanted to wager some winnings on something after the NBA games tonight. Tennis was the only thing going on. I don't know anything about these players or matches. Simply went with the heavy ML favorites on a lark. Placed $500 to win $2291.52 on a 6 "team" parlay:

Clijsters(in a close match), Li, Bartoli, Mattek-Sands and Peschke/Srebrotnik have already won this morning.

Need one more stroke of luck on this last leg with some guys named Brunstrom and Huss...

I hope these random dudes are ready!

$500 on a shot in the dark in a sport you know nothing about.

It's not a matter of if you end up broke, but when.

Bringing a dour mood to a potentially one-time ludicrous victory is simply not necessary. I posted this because it is so outside my normal conservative wagering. Silliness at its finest. I won't do this again. I will never be bankrupt either.

 

Best wishes in your wagering. Cheers!

The rains have delayed the match. It is scheduled to go at 6 pm tonight. Possible further delays are indicated....

I have no idea who he is...but past posting is a no-no.

Next thing you know we have 10 aholes posting stuff after the fact.

If its true he isn't going to care what anyone thinks anyway

i think he doesnt care anyway, but it was a cool gambling story/bet...i have few of those too

and his parlay still isnt won, so this is not totally after the fact

Appreciate the kind words Mad_Skillz.

 

Relax Sparty and jjj2121.

The intention is merely to present an unexpected good yarn...with hopefully a storybook ending. No other motivation present.

Has the Christmas spirit left so quickly?

Best of luck to both of you.

Mellow,  You need to keep things in perspective...the purpose of the forum is to share insight and information. You posting a parlay that is almost complete after the fact isn't of value.

You have to keep in mind that many users in the past and future will do this in hopes of making themselves look better. So its nothing personal against you.  Just please post it before start in the future...good luck to you
