Stickman 05-15-2005, 11:01 AM I woke up this morning, with the worst hangover I've had in the last 10 years...you know the type....where you're hunting all over the house, trying to find the little man that spent all night ****ting in your mouth.. Yet, for some reason, I just can't be in a bad mood...the figure in the title just puts a smile on my face :D
[EDIT]
See you fellas later on...I'm going shopping for HDTV's today.

Stickman 05-16-2005, 09:25 PM Luck didn't have anything to do with it, fellas. I've been waiting awhile for a fight like this to come along to bet my "bundle" on, and it did. Sorry to make this thread, also....I wasn't trying to brag, I wasn't just bad hungover, I think I was still drunk, otherwise I wouldn't have been boasting like this.
Also, I didn't win $43K....I actually "won" $28.4K. The other $15.5k was just my own money finding it's way home. By the way, my check will be here tomorrow around 1400. Good thing too, I just bought a 60" Zenith Plasma HDTV. Life is gonna be good for awhile :)
P.S.
You guys should look back awhile on the "Non-Stop boxing" forum for some of the prediction threads on Winky/Tito. I made the prediction several times, and also mentioned that I was putting a ****load of cash on the fight. Not only here, but I think I mentioned it at another forum or two. Anyway, my point is simply that I didn't just flip a coin and place a bet. A large amount of time was spent weighing strengths and weaknesses of both fighters, their records, performances against opponents with similar styles, etc. It's almost as much work as a second job, though with a better paycheck.
P.P.S.
The best thing about income like this, is that my ****ing leech of a wife will never know about it until after I've spent the vast majority :D
masterdirector 05-16-2005, 10:37 PM You're blowing money on a TV? Plasma isn't the way to go I have to tell you. After a couple years of use, they get these dots that are basically unfixable.
I'd be throwing that money in the bank and sitting on it.
Oh, congratuations.
I don't know about the weighing things being like a 2nd job (you must have a pretty easy 1st job if you consider that like a 2nd job, lol). Takes a lot of risk betting on a fight though, unless you have the money to lose anyhow. I mean, the fake money I bet on here comes to mind when I'm watching fights, which ****s with my enjoyment of the fight. Real money would have me a real nervous wreck.
Especially say you bet a fight to end TKO 3 or something. After that 3rd round, I'd be like "ah ****, ****ing **** **** ****!" for the rest of the fight.
Looking for another easy fight like this? Just sit and wait for Kassim Ouma to fight a top guy. Odds should be against him, so betting a decision on him should be easy money.
BadMagick 05-16-2005, 10:42 PM This was the easiest call ever, though. I don't see how much weighing of options you could have done.
If there's a bit of advice I can give on gambling. Get out while the going's good.
masterdirector 05-17-2005, 12:21 AM stay away from anything that could possibly manipulated through electronics. video poker and slot machines are the biggest cons for the biggest suckers. Your best odds are to get good at blackjack or some similar card game. roulette wheels can be controlled by magnets and **** probably. Even if not, the best chance you have is to bet just red or black.
I saw on a movie once where this guy had a pretty good roulette wheel theory. Every time you lose, keep doubling whatever you just bet until you win. Then start over. Repeat. In theory, you should always gain money. Its how I maxed out my money on GTA: San Andreas.

I've never been to a casino, but isn't there a minimum and maximum that you can bet at every table? If there is, let's say the max would be 1000, if the minimum would be something like 500 then if you lose 1st and 2nd time, there goes your money. If there isn't a min and max then that theory works perfect.
masterdirector 05-17-2005, 09:46 AM or just start very low and hope you hit early.

Not all tables have a min bet.
If you want to get good at a gambling game, play poker. Really, when playing against good players, you have the best chances of winning. If you learn to read properly, and such, and the people aren't total dip****s, you can guess around what they have, and bluff them out of a pot. It's actually a good game to gamble on. DO NOT PLAY WITH NEW PEOPLE! They make the dumbest calls.
