And then you wonder why people take joy in your demise...

So before your bet is made, you refer to yourself as a LEGEND...but when your bet loses, you want sympathy? Cant have your cake and eat it too.

The chances of you making it in vegas went from like 30% to about 2% when you made that 5k kings bet. Win or lose it was a wrap from that split second.

Certainly don't want you to lose your money but I don't see any other outcome. Goodluck

CG -

Drop your entire bankroll on Mayweather -175 come fight night. Hopefully it is a 5 figure bankroll. Mayweather will give you a get out of jail pass

Van-  With the line being at a pick em'  which is what he bought it down to, there is roughly a 2% chance this game lands exactly on MSU winning by 1. 

He would have been better off driving down to Primm and dropping $400 on scratch offs.  
Not my own math, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

The seminar went like this and consisted of two powerpoint slides:

Slide 1: How not to manage your money

Slide 2: Don't be like 'this guy' (accompanied by a picture of CG and his coked up MILF).

"Thank you all for coming" were the only words I spoke.

After a standing ovation, I was escorted out of the building by armed security to avoid the paparazzi as people screamed "You've changed my life!" and "I now know the secret!". Oprah left me a voicemail and I may get to it after watching tonight's MSU game.

Oklahoma appears to be strongly riding this racist frat fiasco into the ground by playing with pride on the court and bringing respectability and positive press back to the University, while their fraternities bring them down.

Most people think this kind of thing is complete and utter bullsh** but I've been capping my entire life and these psychological motivators (i.e. That Okies are now playing with very intense school pride) are very, very powerful, especially among the younger generation of which college students are.

You will be fading such an angle to take MSU and Izzo for....what angle? None other than you like MSU and they've paid you in the past. That's not much to go with.

Be very very careful with this game CG.

Is there any game you have not said to be careful about?  What game has he picked that you agreed with beforehand?

CG, in the beginning, you told us that in addition to the 30K bankroll, you also had a 401K. You said you weren't going to touch it.

But now, is your plan to tap into this 401K after you go broke? Because at this rate, you're gonna be broke by Sunday

Obviously we have established that you are not a pro.  No biggie, not many are.  But seriously this mindset and this kind of wager are so close to a complete novice it's not even funny.

Seriously man, your brain is completely unhinged from reality.  You're betting scared, and it's a recipe for disaster, even more so than all the other red flags. 

I'll be rooting for Sparty with you though (for my own reasons), so I hope you win and get back on track, but as many have said many times, it really doesn't matter if you win or lose, you are going to end up at $0 at some point anyway.  Unless you drastically change your approach. 

BOL..............

Lots of advice here for u..
Here is mine
Head to Albertsons grab some fresh tilapia
Then some rice. Make sure u have enough steak sauce and enjoy.
Then rest up and go grab a 12pk of  tall boys and pound 4 of them before tip off. Sip the rest as the game plays out.
Enjoy

...and for the record, I am FAR from being an expert, and light years from being considered "pro".  That's how amateurish your plays have gotten.

Kaufree- I got like 46K in my 401K  I would be ashamed to have to go into that and promised myself I wont 

here is my plan... if I LOSE tonight, which I DONT EXPECT

then I gotta somehow grind $100 or so a game with my remaining 5.2K  I don't have to pay rent again until June... so just have to try to start winning like $500-$600 a week and grinding and just forget what happened

u know if my sick brain tho that will be near impossible

He did pick his spot, supposedly.  What game/line do you NOT consider a coin flip? Maybe that is better than simply saying this game is a coin flip?

Be very very careful with this game CG.

I really had to reread this, some of your points are salient, but this ranks up with the time you said the odds of splitting 2 bets is 33%

your idea that these players care about any racist frat publicity as motivation??? oh man thats reaching.  The fact that most of the public is on this game and the line hasnt moved is scary, not the idea of an OU team playing for their school.  With that being said I like Mich State as well.

Every spread in theory is a "coin flip."

Whether it actually is or not, is in the eye of the beholder. So I do find it funny when people chime in and say a game is a coin flip.

When you buy a half point, you can think of it like you are making a separate wager that it will matter.  In your case, you made a 400 dollar wager that MSU will win by exactly 1 point to win 4,400.  You laid 11-1 that MSU will win by exactly a point.  What are the true odds of this?  I don't know, but not 11-1 - that is an absolutely horrific value bet.

All in the name of desperation.


Great post Van, CG has extreme biases at this point, he has let two flukey random events make him paranoid

That was my point.  If it was so easy to find non-coin flip games, we would all love that.
