    I've been a sports investor for about 5 years, now.  I've been a casual gambler for at least a decade before that.  I have no advice for you.  And honestly, neither does anyone else (unless you ask for it), considering that any suggestions...in this chosen field of profession...has to be propelled by *steam* (experience).  You're in the city that holds the best of the best around the world in sports investing, in one of the most distraction-filled cities in the world.  More than likely, you'll get chewed up and spit out.  If that happens, you wouldn't be the first, and you won't be the last.  But as I said earlier...challenge was accepted by you, collegegambler.  Which deserves tremendous commendation alone.  Alot of us (probably the ones criticizing you the most) wouldn't have the heart to make that type of leap of faith, to throw themselves wholeheartedly into the lion's den.  For that alone...you should be proud.

    Good luck to you on your journey, collegegambler.  I'll be rooting for you...

    Highly improbable and unlikely since "cuz" went 9-2 on the early games and CG very probably tailed "cuz" for some easy money.

    Cuz ain't going nowhere if he can win like that.  CG will put him on retainer and keep him in Vegas forever....

    MUHHAHAHAHHHHAHAAAAAAA

    PM for the skinny on the down low

    There was a guy named ProtoStar, or something like that, who made some kind of thread where he told some odd story.

    Got tons of views, possibly 50K to 100K.

    Can anyone explain the overall point of that thread to me? I saw posts about hamsters and what not.

    Never got the point...

    Braveness is fine. It was almost like you were speaking from some time warp...had on old world feel to it, hence, 'Braveness' was apropos...I liked the post.

    I believe you mean 25% chance of going 2-0 and 25% chance of going 0-2.

    ad-

    Possible outcomes

    1. Win 1 then lose 1 (1-1)
    2. Lose 1 then win 1 (1-1)
    3. Win 1 and then win another (2-0)
    4. Lose 1 and then lose another (0-2)

    So you are 1-1 in two possible outcomes after 2 games (50%) and 25% for the other 2 outcomes respectively.  According to my limited stats knowledge anyway.

    You swoop in to try to correct him when going 0-1 makes little to no sense, so little sense I just left it as is. Have him answer. He'll tell you it's a typo.
