Confessions of a lifetime gambler-retiring after 50 years

In the spring of 1986 I retired from the family and went off on my own..

The bankroll for gambling started at 1 million in 1986 and I haven't lost it all quite yet. I will make 20 final plays and I will post them here and then fade off into the sunset.

When's the 1st play?

Loving the story so far Blue. This has the potential making for an epic movie, you should definitely consider your options. Get the story published first, sell the rights to a producer and retire in style. 

#1.  Rousey U 1.5  12/5   25k/10k 

I guess we'll worry about questions later

1st two questions were answered anyway.

Fade away sir!

My dude, what an awesome thread. I have fully enjoyed the read up to this point and certainly hope you finish with it. And I definitely agree with the poster above who said to get it published and sell it to a producer. Looking forward to the rest of the ride.

Rousey claims she may try and drag this fight out not really what I wanted to hear at 2.5/1 and U 1.5 I can push off the early line as it is still a popular play offshore books line up to 280/290 if I can squeeze off a 10/20 I may match it out.

Line now up to- 340  

Now I have to ask.

I use a lot of books both offshore and onshore but  those numbers can be found at 5 dimes right now.  

Let's see...You use to book bets in Boston and New York. You started selling Drugs and you bought a couple businesses to cover/launder your money and ship drugs coast/coast. One of your contacts ratted you out so you retired and you use to have a milllion $ bankroll and you haven't lost all of it yet.

 That's harsh. Why does everyone what the story to be hardcore it's just not. I prefer to think of the early activities as entrepreneurial. We existed more as bootleggers during prohibition than hardcore street guys.I left the group in 1986 because I felt that our activities were changing with the perception of the time and did not want to continue down that path no one ratted me out.

I like the wager.  Rousey is just talkin' chit.  When the bell rings and the adrenaline kicks in you think she is counting time?  He!! no.  It's all-out from the get-go.

 

I agree TheGoldenOne ,,I think Rowdy Ronda Rousey will listen to her mother,,,Dr. AnnMaria De Mars a former judo world champion said ,,,she wants her daughter to finish the fight as quickly as possible ....Mother knows best ..

Fight wont last 1 minute.

matched off at 3.30 could pass on 80c profit but I still think it wins but risk reward it only made sense.

Couldn't pass

Ronda Rousey has dedicated her match against Bethe Correia to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper..........

Ronda: "Thank you for the name... And so much more.... Will do it justice and do you proud tomorrow.... This one's for you Roddy..."

Correia is going down .. hard and fast.

I'll take fight over 1 minute even money?
