    Amazingly, baronman actually brought up a good point from the other night. (if you can translate through the jibbberish)

    CG was as hammered before he left, "bragging" how 6 beers to him is like water. He then proceeded to get in the car and drive to the casino for his RL's. (roulette bombs)

    He was driving drunk and I think it's safe to say he does this kind of thing ALL THE TIME. This is far worse than the absolute embarrassment he is when it comes to gambling. If he ends up hurting himself so be it but he could kill innocent people by driving drunk. And based on his track record, I would venture a guess he does this on a weekly basis. 

    All this, and his new years resolution was "to be a better person."

    Well, that's on track to work.

    Anyone else see the similarities between Johnny Manziel and CG?

    1.  Both had amateur success but came in with question marks
    2.  Both have been caught on camera acting stupid
    3.  Both have serious addiction problems but see nothing wrong with their actions
    4.  Both have proven not ready to be professionals
    5.  Both careers died in Las Vegas

    Yes yes yes yes yes! 

    That was funnier than the original Livid video.

    I can't believe he crapped that bed after an admittedly great Bills hit (on the ML too!).

    After keeping the bets at $500 for several days and hitting almost all of them, he promptly raises the bet to 1k and immediately loses both. AMazing!

    I wonder how his COL trip went and I really hope he isn't down to $3,500.

    And seriously, $6 Uber trips???? This is not worth it at all. Why wouldn't you just go to a low level blackjack table and martingale it for hours with the $3,500 for that kind of money???

    I think Johnny F will be back in the NFL at some point.

    I really can see the Cowboys giving him a shot.

    Still waiting for CG's COL (career on the line) blackjack and craps results.

    According to the videos above, he was taking his last $3.5 K to the tables.

    Someone pop in and inform us if they know.

    He only played with 1k, and he lost it all except for 7 dollars. He made a video raging about it.

    A brutal beat MAYBE is if you have a team +5, they're up 15 at half, don't relinquish the lead til under a minute left, 5 fluke things happen to make the game go to overtime, then your team loses by 6 on a steal and dunk at the buzzer. Or my favorite a foul with one second left when your team is down 8+ which costs you the cover.

    I took Portland +9 live bet, was that a brutal beat since Lillard missed a layup at the buzzer and the lost by 11?  NO, they were down 23 at half . ( I did hedge some out taking clips +7 late, but if he makes the layup I win instead of losing juice) 

    Had Cal Poly +12, they were never down by more than that til Hawaii decided to shoot w 6 secs left and win by 13.  Is that a brutal beat?  It sucked but no.  To CG would have been end of the world tho.

    Ouch.  I was on Cal-Poly that night too, did not stay up to watch or even follow along.  Woke up, saw that I lost, and moved on.  

    He did acknowledge he got lucky on the NC State bet, but the issue is that when he gets lucky it's usually one or two mentions of it, but when he's UNLUCKY it's literally weeks and weeks of bringing it up.

    I don't think objectivity is something that can be taught.  You just have to learn it over time, or be blessed with it.  Regardless, it's difficult to succeed at something without it.

    well, by his own reasoning, he'd never back Dalton...so I guess it's a 'system play' for him.

    But what about you 'Bone?

    I said it all week in other threads: I can't believe how much faith covers posters put in McCarron.

    Especially in the playoffs...

    Especially against their arch-nemesis...

    Classic overanalyzing of Pitt and their schedule and Lauding of Cincy's D when the guy behind center cannot score...

    I watched AJ at Bama. Playoff football? In the NFL? Sorry bud...it ain't happenin'.

    Well we know he isn't taking Seattle again when they burned him for 10K this year so I assume he'll be on the Vikes...

    Or maybe GB for good vibes since his greatest miracle cash this year came through them....
