He Pokin, long time lurker I come and go from the site, but do greatly enjoy your thread. Reminds me of a few distant days when I used to not call in a friends action because they were such MUSH. I got burnt a few small times, but loved just sitting on those parlays ;) I've looked around, but couldn't find an explanation, maybe you could (or someone) could give me a quick background on FF? Is this a buddy of yours?
Also, what did you mean by no more TNA? Thanks bud!

Mayweather being the showman that he is, probably didn't do it with $100's. He proabably brought it in $20's. A Million dollar brick of $100's is about 20-25lbs. Small enough to fit in a back pack or briefcase. Just to put perspective on the country's idiotic spending and debt--- look at this link as visual. You can see it would be easy to walk in 13 bricks with a couple guys. But, multiply the Trillion pic by 13 and thats what we owe as a country... Scary thoughts all around. https://mahalanobis.twoday.net/stories/5566462/

Love the thought process and most astute thing I've seen pointed out on this thread. However, it would be possible--it's just under 300lbs in $100bills. So assuming this fantasy world of a scenario he probably wouldn't be walking around alone with that much scratch anyhow. 3-4 guys could muster up that amount of weight... otherwise they themselves probably wouldn't be worth their weight to help protect it in the first place. That being said... this I'm sure is TOTALLY bogus. |

Middling and hedging are two VERY DIFFERENT things. Middling you are not getting juiced but guaranteeing a profit on a single event, totally eliminating the juice. Hedging is when you take a longterm bet that has already been juiced and bet the other side on the last game, getting juiced once again. If you can't understand the difference, STOP BETTING until you do. The fact that you read my post and still use hedging/middling synonymously scares me. 3. To all you other drones out there, think for yourself and think critically! DJ-Couldn't the reverse hold true as well? He bet GB knowing they would get to SB, not knowing who they would play, setting himself up for a potential hedge of free money or at very least riskless play? I define riskless as not having to ever payout. So, I can't see how anyone would advise not to at least go in 'riskless' and take your initial bet amount off the table? I understand going for the big win, but if you've got 100/1500, why not at least 'hedge' yourself and take the otherside for $100. This way you aren't losing any money and have 'juiced' your payout slightly as you say? The difference no matter how you define it, is that it becomes 'riskless'. If you continue from that point, you are gambling. If you could always make a bet, then set yourself up at some point in the future to zero out any risk, you would never lose any money. You can't go broke if you never have to payout, right? |

If I was going to hedge, I would take pit ML because it lowers your hedge amount. You're getting $125 on that so depending upon what your looking to do--it's cheaper. You have $500 at risk, so if you just want to maximize payout, but have $0 risk, you're only betting $400 on ML assuming you're getting +125. If you're original bet comes in, you win +845. If Pit wins, you B/E. However, the smarter thing to do would be to gurantee yourself some money and take Pit ML for $775. This way you're locked in at ~$470 regardless of outcome. Then you can watch game and not give a shiat! Take flier on a prop or two and just chill.
