Somebody want to give me a TL/DR since he moved to Vegas?  Is he broke yet?

SERIOUS UPDATE

Just hung up the telephone Tues. the 19th at 9pm.  CG was down to his last $400.  He played a 6 team baseball parlay and hit.  He played some 3 and 4 team parlays and hit those also.  Bankroll has been worked back up to $11K.  He has bills rolling in and half of that $11K is gone by June 1st.  He's a little nervous and has been interviewing for some sales jobs.  Wants to use these next three months to get his Bankroll rocking for College Football Season that he feels is his best sport.  Says he'll send me texts of the parlay tickets winners so I can post for you Covers non-believers.  Thaty's asll I know for now.  Just happy the Kid and his dream are alive.

He turned $400 into 11k. 

I can see him turning 11k into $400.

On a serious note, vegas really has an awful homeless problem. They're on every single bridge on the strip when walking between casinos. Hopefully, CG isn't one of them some day.

I actually believe this. 

But the best part is the fact he's trying to get a job. I don't care what his best sport is, CG can never and will never be able to rely on gambling as his only source of income. Hopefully, he realizes this at this point and can set his focus towards using it as supplemental income. 

Can CG make money gambling? Sure, anyone can. Can CG be a professional gambler? Absolutely not, and hopefully he has come to realize this. (although I'm 99.9999% sure he has not)

Goose, what exactly is this "dream" you speak of? I know you like the kid, but if "dream" means the dream of being a successful pro gambler, you are far better off believing in Santa Claus and/or the Easter Bunny.

I think the initial dream was to be a pro gambler, but at this point I'd say the dream is to able to stay out in Vegas and not go back to NJ.  If he finds a decent job that allows him to still put time and effort into capping (and of course stay in LV) I'd say he's living his dream.

11K is still a serious Bankroll that CG can do some damage.  He is far behind in his "Pro" goals however and needs to understand a bigger Bankroll is necessary to even get a sniff of "Pro" level.

CG has never BS'd about wager amounts or results.  Never in Seven Years on Covers.  But I will try to throw up pics of a couple parlays he sent me.  If you remember back two baseball seasons ago he was very lucky with baseball parlays.  I personally think parlays of any kind are suckers bets.  Sometimes when you're on a losing streak you have to try something different, anything, to change the results.

What is there to call bull on here?  Hitting parlays is pure luck, not skill, so he's not bragging or anything.  And real cappers (pros) don't play parlays, so it doesnt make him look good.  The dude was down to his last $400 and chased some crazy parlays and got lucky and hit them.  This is classic degenerate stuff here, it's nothing to brag about.  That situation makes him look like a struggling gambler, not a sharp.  So I'm not sure why this is so non-believable.

No, but what did was your full name.  You may want to get the mods to delete that post.
