    Quite often your attempts at labeling others were far from accurate.
    You have directed this BS at me on many occasion (I said "occasion" not 'caucasian' so don't have a hissy fit) even though all who know me well fully understand that I am actually a liberal on social issues (surprise, surprise!)

    Now you say to CG that you are NOT calling him a racist.
    This is the same CG who was banned for .... wait for it ...







    for an epic racist rant in which he repeatedly used the N word, and other such derogatory names to reference Black people.

    Clearly, scalabrine, you have lost your mind ...
    Which is ironic, in as much as "a black mind is a terrible thing to waste'

    lol the square is 36-38 hitting at 48% and he's giving himself props for great money management.

    He might not be a professional gambler but he is a pro at moaning whining and making up excuses

    That's what happens when you lose your entire bankroll and most of your 401K in your first year as a 'professional'.

    So he's been in Vegas for 1 year now.  His living expenses are $3K a month.  So in the last year he has spent $36K in living expense with no job/income.  He lost big time last year in sports wagering.  This year he is up $3K in 2016...few more months and he is broke.  It is not sustainable. It's one thing to break even on sports wagering but to lose and still have to pay your living expenses is another thing.

    If the career was on the line for some $1200 a week (or so) ago...and you lose $1700 last night...isn't it about that time yet again???

    I know he didn't go undefeated once the life saving bomb hit.  But playing 3 and 4 games is just giving it away, lol.  No talent, no discipline...all "luck" now.



    like how a BOMB used to be 3...maybe $5000.  Now, it's just the common, scrape-the-bank-envelope for $400 play.  It must be weird looking at yourself making these bets, knowing that, NO MATTER WHAT...you'll never make it back CG.  Your random wins only provoke more JR Just Released plays, which dramatically lower your percentage.  And you KNOW this............but can't stop.  Phuck, it's a sick feeling.  Just bomb away every play, it's honestly your only hope.

    Putting aside the fact that the post which you referenced does not come close to describing me ... I will give you credit for this much, yours is a decent response to my post.

    It deflects well, avoids the facts, and was somewhat clever.

    We've battled enough on this site Hugh. Are either one of us going to be affected by the other with regard to the topic of race? No. So no need to battle further.

    Someone needs to let me know when CG is actually making money from bartending.

    Has anyone been a bartender here? They aren't going to start you off on a prime shift with ridiculous tips are they? 

    Wouldn't they give a neophyte a day shift with a few patrons?

    How did he go from taking the State Insurance test to bar tending school. When he was having problems passing the test I called him (he gave me his #) and answered all the questions he was having trouble with. I have connections in Nevada and told him if he passed the test I could get him a few interviews. First year insurance agents can easily make 50k the first year. Must have flunked the test again. After a certain amount of failing attempts you have to wait six months to re-test.

    I picture him pulling the afternoon shift shift at Applebee's during the NCAA tournament....  someone asks him to change the channel and he goes 'LIVID' screaming "I've got my COL career on line with this game and some fukking mush asked me to turn it off", then he proceeds to throw drinks at customers and ends up getting arrested.


    I know that is a stretch in a few ways...  a) him getting a job and b) him still having a bankroll in a month, but I can see it happening.

    Forget starting off as a bartender.. He will be starting off as a bar back....Getting cases of bud lights from the basements of the bar.

    CG,

    This is not a insult but I have to stress it:

    There should be no 0-4 or 0-6 runs on this trip (maybe those numbers aren't truly accurate because I'm borrowing from others but you understand my point).

    You made enough money on one season of CFB to start this journey. I'll bet that entire season you didn't have one 0-4 run. Not one!

    And now in Vegas with COL bets, you have these winless runs?

    Something is wrong with the capping you are doing. Find out what it is and fix it!

    We are down to $400 bets here! $400! I do this as a hobby. I'm not a baller. I'll never try to move to Vegas. But if I have even ONE 0-4 run on this site posting picks, I will take a break and look at what the problem is.

    I found several problems from last year to this year in my own capping and the main one was volume of bets. Since I changed that and several other things, I've picked myself up off the floor and have had a lot of fun capping and posting and made a nice profit along the way.

    It's not that hard. You really need to sink your teeth into these games and find out what skills and analysis you were utilizing during your CFB run.

    Mea, let's talk careers and their expectations here...cause you really need a talkin-to:  Do you remember what YOU said about the insurance gig???

    "I gave up on it because no benefits, no good leads, etc"

    NO, NOT THAT DUMMY!

    "With that kind of schedule, I can't cap (Lol) and watch the games I bet on"


    So now you wanna play bartender, and think it's gonna bring you back from the grave.  Dude, I don't need to piggy back on everyone's comments about the lack of good shifts and placement...but let's just say that you make it in, and have those 'money shifts'.  You do know when "they" are right?!?  PRIMETIME.  Happy Hour, Dinner, and After-Dinner.
    Right about the time that most of your games are going on.  I realize that in Vegas the time difference makes it slightly to your advantage; early games are pre-shift material, and late games are still within the dinner time-frame.  So in theory, you  could get bets off and maybe even catch one or two possibly on a TV at work.  

    What about your capping?!?!  All jokes aside, it's gonna suffer.  You'll be up late(r) than normal, probably doing some post-shift drinking, and while you might get up early to tough it out and cap the first few times...the shifts (and physical labor) will catch up to you.  I want to give you credit and not say you just pick a side and try to make a case for it...but without the dedicated, restriction-free time to do you're capping, you're going to fail.  Trust me, it's the difference in choosing a game you KNOW you should play vs. the one you play anyways.  It's not taking a line, however big or small, that you KNOW you don't have to bother watching vs. forcing a play that you have to sweat.  Or even worse, distract yourself ON THE JOB, trying to keep up with.

    Brah, insurance was the way to go.  Boring as may be, or no benefits (which is still a hilarious excuse, as you ARE...STILL unemployed) at least you're using your brain, making more money, and can actually use your 'down-time' to toggle screens and do some capping!  As a barback, service bar, or whatever other position you rush into, you'll be so consumed with recipes and trying to impress people for a tip that you won't have time for anything else.  You know damn well that to make the big bucks you need more than a "hollywood" persona...you need TITS, you need to suck dhik, and when you get caught over-pouring/serving/stealing, you need a good crying act.  Just a wild guess that you don't fit any of those...................
