    money shot - if you can get some extra trim, without the wife finding out (that's the key), then more power to you. Lord lnows married women don't want to put out at some point,  but you need to get yours man.

    You morons have done it now.
     
    I have only gotten 1 blowjob so far today - and it all has to do with you idiots ruining it for me by bumming out my stable of supermodels.
     
    Im really sick of it - and quite frankly Im not going to take it anymore.  Godfather, backrol, or any other of the haters posting OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURES of me will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and anyone accusing me of impersonating Jack Nicholson will be sued for slander - Im actually going to sue Jack Nicholson for impersonating me!  Nobody fucks with my blowjob schedule - not even the joker himself.
     
    So what if I hang with the swedish bikini team?  Are you guys big fans of the Norwegian or Fin team?  Whats the problem?  They were put in contact with me and wanted to cruise on the yacht for a couple of months - should I actually call to see if a better bikini team is available?  No, I did what you morons cant do - I closed the deal and right now I have them on a blowjob schedule so fuck off.

    I have only gotten 1 blowjob so far today - and it all has to do with you idiots ruining it for me by bumming out my stable of supermodels.
     
    Im really sick of it - and quite frankly Im not going to take it anymore.  Godfather, backrol, or any other of the haters posting OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURES of me will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and anyone accusing me of impersonating Jack Nicholson will be sued for slander - Im actually going to sue Jack Nicholson for impersonating me!  Nobody fucks with my blowjob schedule - not even the joker himself.
     
    So what if I hang with the swedish bikini team?  Are you guys big fans of the Norwegian or Fin team?  Whats the problem?  They were put in contact with me and wanted to cruise on the yacht for a couple of months - should I actually call to see if a better bikini team is available?  No, I did what you morons cant do - I closed the deal and right now I have them on a blowjob schedule so fuck off.

    Never thought we had to correlate anything in a thread.

    You and Bling must have the same IQ level. Like a 1st grader. You have no business walking the streets if you don't know the definition of deadbeat... you monkey and furthermore if you want some corrleation in your life... correlate your mouth on Bling's pipe. How's that?

    Openly admitting to and planning to cheat on your wife again is a real classy thing to do

    Deadbeat, scumbag, asshole, whatever, they all fit

    Vanzack - this thread is not about you, it is about me and the OSU Buckeyes, Money shot and his ladies on the side, and a lot of guys tired of your phony claims.

    van, read your posts always and that flat betting thread was one of the best on covers since ive read.  it makes so much sense and i dont know why i never thought of it.  i cant believe all the people who cannot grasp it.  a way to put it maybe would be that each games 'swing' (amount won)-(-amount lost)  so that each games difference between winning and loosing is 2 units.  a -150 bet would have a 250 dollar swing and a +100 bet would be a 200 dollar swing if you bet  to win 100 on each.  its easy to tell you know what youre doing and talking about.  how many people here know what a standard deviation is, or if they bet a -150 bet that they need to win 3/5 to break even.
    one question i have to ask is that if you make enough money to support yourself each year for the last 7 years, why would a book continue to let you bet?  it would be a sheisty move on their part to cut you off but i think if im running a book and someone is consistantly (7 years) taking money from me, im saying enough is enough.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Im going to answer you very seriously.  The reason good books dont cut you off is simple - good books actually want some winners.  Pinnacle has never kicked out a winner EVER - their reasoning is that through better ranked players they can shade their lines so that they give out a better line to everyone else.  So its almost paying the better ranked players a salary to let them know what lines are soft, in order to not get killed by the masses.

    I have been cut off at several books - but not books worth playing at.  Matchbook will never cut anyone off because the exchange style isnt hurt at all by winners, and pinnacle wont either.

    Anyone can tell you that recreational books will cut you off or make your limits ridiculous if you continuously beat them, but there is a list of about 10 books that wont cut anyone off.

    What a piece of shit some people are. Vanzack...Zack prob being ur real name b/c u just sound like a white nerdy kid trying to fit in with your "thats how i roll" phrases.
     
    It's amazing how some people come on here and pretend to be someone else b/c their own lives are so pathetic. Another piece of lying shit exposed at Covers.
     
    You may have some knowledge in gambling, but in reality you are an over-weight scumbag who should off himself the first chance he gets.
