    That Packer game was straight torture. But this was/is fun.
  2. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Why are the New Jersey police dressed like Nazis? (This is a rhetorical question)
  3. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I read something about it being some kind of test case about engagement. It didn't make a lot of sense to me.

    Hard to believe this is the same offense that started the season (minus Jones, somehow)

    Kramnik being hyper-focused on cheating and indirectly accusing people like Naka of cheating against players rated 400 points lower (while streaming) makes me wonder if the old toiletgate controversy had merit. He doth protest way too much.

    First to make it to 2K wins the remaining balance. I wouldn't have a remaining balance if I lost immediately. I'd get my 1K back from the intermediary. So would Y2J. But if I won...
  9. JudasIscariotTheBird
    It looks like it isn't going to happen, which is a predictable bummer. I was just going to immediately make a 1K bet at 2:1, and let Y2K subsidize it to 3:1. He would have had a 1:2 shot at being smartest idiot!

    I always forget fantasy sports are in their own section.

    Either that or IMB is angling to be the intermediary? Y2J, you shoulda seen how mad this guy got at me when I did some wild horsefeathers like (checks notes) suggest that the most subsidized, extinction-threatening fuel source on the planet (apart from maybe coal) is too cheap, or that it's possible for humans to pathom large distances and time spans. He'd love for either of us to look like a fool, and since most here know who he is IRL, he's unlikely to steal our money. What do you say, IMB?!
  15. JudasIscariotTheBird
    It's just IMB's thing to compare me to the lame of the month. He can hopefully tell the difference, and he's doing it on purpose. He's right about the bragging part, tho. After the first page I couldn't help myself.
  16. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I propose after a set time limit, the remaining money just returns to us.
  17. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Yeah, those were the days. I was largely a limit, cash game specialist, but I played a lot of NL tournaments and sit and goes as well. One afternoon I had an especially bad run, and decided to stop for the day. I headed up to Boulder to hang with friends, and they wanted to go play a tournament which was a school fundraiser. First prize was a "water pipe." We were down to the final table, and I noticed one other kid playing pretty strongly. I asked if he player a lot online, and he said, "Yeah, had my worst day ever, so I let my friends talk me into playing this thing." I tell him that's exactly why I'm there as well. He says, "Bet I lost more than you!" I told him that was unlikely. So we both wrote our losses that day onto a sheet of paper and traded. I wrote 19k. He wrote 19.5k. We both laughed and laughed and the table looked at us like we were insane. Good times.
  18. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I don't see one that would work after a quick search. Our bet is also a little trickier than just who wins a fantasy league. Who pulls the levers when someone 2x's their money? How is that proven?
  19. JudasIscariotTheBird
    https://northsidebaseball.com/forums/topic/46292-golf-thread/page/18/ I'd forgotten about the Rahm argument. Pretty funny. Also kinda stings looking back and seeing Thomas beating Rahm in DK scoring cost me 375k, considering how their careers progressed from then on.
  20. JudasIscariotTheBird
    So you're backing off now, or are you going to offer a solution?
  21. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Oh, but you started it, and I'm not lying. Half of it came from taking second in a millie-maker on Draftkings a few years ago, and I kinda live sweated it on these forums as it happened. The other half is from poker (largely online back during the poker boom) a few other minor wins on DK, some strong results on Underdog's BBM the last two years, bonus whoring the free bets bookies were offering, and betting on dog racing when I was a kid. It might be closer to 300k now that I think of it. Is that more than you've won? Because I have an uncle and cousin that makes that look like chump change, as they are pro gamblers. And to HairyDuck's point, someone that can claim to turn 1k to 10k, swiftly and reliably, wouldn't think my career profit in gambling to be impressive at all.
  22. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Then who?
  23. JudasIscariotTheBird
    But, after thinking things over, I'd be down, with some stipulations. I want the threashold of winning to be 3000, and I'd want the contest to start next Sunday, and we'd both need to put 1k in someone's hands (Brian maybe) to prevent welching. And all screenshot bets get sent to the intermediary.
  24. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I'm up about a quarter million gambling lifetime, and I don't give a horsefeathers about bragadocious obvious trolls touting their prowess to strangers on the internet. You're a dime a dozen, and you'd probably welch.
  25. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Good God you suck.
