  1. Not a fan of Goodell or ESPN, but this was a publicity stunt. I'd never heard of Bill Simmons before yesterday.

    As someone who has followed Simmons since his pre ESPN days I can assure you it's not some stunt. Hopefully this is the catalyst for him to leave for good, an unchained Simmons would be awesome. Only downside, and it's a big one, would be if he lost all his insider access. Love his podcasts and articles.

  2. I know guys who have had 100k wins so it can happen, I prefer DraftKings because there's no kickers and you can change your lineup for later games after the early ones start. Sign up at rotogrinders.com and deposit through their link so you get all their research tools for free.

     

    There are different types of games, I'll try to explain the differences and brief strategy.

     

    Cash games-double ups, 50/50s, triple ups and head to head games. These you want guys with high floors, it doesn't matter if you finish first or 50th if the top fifty all get the same prize.

     

    GPP-guaranteed prize pools. These are the lottery tickets so to speak. You need a big score to make money so you need to have guys that are not widely owned to have a shot at the top prize.

     

    I usually go with a 80/20 split in favor of cash games to lower the weekly variance.

  3. so was at Petco park last night...Sculpin on tap all over the stadium :worthy: ,,,as well as Green Flash and Stone beers, all on tap all over :thumbsup:

     

    God bless the Ralph, but some options like these would be awesome!

     

    Hope you got a plate of Phil's while you were there.

    Not sure how it works in NC, but if their system is like VA's the original misdemeanor case would be held in General District Court before a judge. In those cases a conviction is still a conviction, but to get around the issue of constitutional protections the defendant has a right to appeal to the circuit court where it is heard de novo (new trial). Again, not sure about NC's court structure, but this may be what happened.

     

    Thanks, I'm not familiar with this system of court.

    Me too. That deal is pretty sweet. But then I noticed their soup started being poorer quality and the service was atrocious (severely understaffed), so we stopped going. After this thread, maybe I will give it another try!

    It's not too hard to make the soup at home, my wife loves it but I hate going to OG so I make it for her.

  6.  

    Feel sorry for what... That she can't have millions. She married the guy, she has her happiness. Even better that she married him and loves him. Its not about the money, now they have to work at it. I hope they both have to struggle for money now, if it is all about love, they will overcome.

     

    Yes, he punched her. But it still takes two to tango.

     

    You're last sentence shows what kind of person you are, I got a week ban for pointing this out in the Tony Stewart thread but at least this time you've made it painfully obvious.

  7. Is this really that hard to understand? Ask the guy who runs the board if he's okay with it. It doesn't matter if you think it's okay if he's not comfortable with it.

     

    If he is against it because he is against gambling then I would completely understand, if he is against it because he is worried about getting into trouble then I would want to explain that he is good to go. As I have said previously I have a lot of experience with these types of things and Scott is in the clear in regards to any potential legal issues. If someone can cite a specific case of a board owner being held responsible for a pool ran through his site and facing legal issues because of it please link it. I have looked and found nothing.

  8.  

    I'm not sure the stakes matter that much, if someone decides to make a big deal out of it. I've seen poker games busted for chump change, while major stakes games were left untouched. Again, I doubt it's a big deal, just think it should be considered as this isn't "your house".

    And your experience with these pools is? I am speaking from several years of experience and as someone who has participated in over 100 of them, stop being the fun patrol and take a chill pill. No one is coming after TBD for a small Stakes NFL pool.
