Yeah I would worry now about the $5K


Recommended Posts

I was offered a bet yesterday giving the points. Not for that kinda money though. I refused because I didn't like the spread. However, I had an entirely different vision for the game. I thought the Vikes would build a 21 point lead or so by midway through the 3rd quarter. Bills would score a garbage TD to cover the spread.

He's working some serious OT and probably a month of weekend OT shifts. If I worked a month of weekend shifts I'd only make 4K, I feel sorry for the guy if he did make this bet.

I think I heard being a gigolo pays well

I am back now and have read all of the nasty things people have said about me.  But I should not be surprised.  The same people who slandered and/or were extremely hostile and negative toward Coach McDermott and GM Beane a week ago, are now all about "The Process" again.  This included one of the moderators (lead by example, I guess).  While I can't say that it's romanticizing, this is definitely a very emotional crew here.

 

Props to the many people that PM'ed me concerned after Sunday's upset, or to the hand full of people that actually wrote some nice comments here.  I am fine and look forward to getting back to talking about Bills football, as I have been advised not to talk about anything else here.  I have no comment

Welcome back! I still hope you were kidding and it was all for good laughs, but if not....live and learn. 

 

As for the process stuff, I’ve been in it for the long view the whole time. If Allen is legit, they will get this thing rolling. If not, they’ll have to pull the trigger again. I hope they are given the chance, if need be. Time will tell.

I'd hazard a guess that people complain less about the coaching staff when they win a game.

 

Honestly you're getting crap for your bet isn't that bad I mean it's no different than when Pro Allen people got crap when Peterman got the start and then the Peterman people got crap when Peterman Petermaned. You just show up take your beating and everyone moves on.

I get that, but the takes here are so emotional.  There were legit people saying "Fire McDermott" or "What has Beane ever really done as GM."  People need to be more informed in their or opinion or balanced.

Then there are the rest of us who understand that two bad losses don't disprove the 'process' any more than a good win validates it. 

 

The process is about a calculated, level-headed approach to team building with the understanding that, like many long term goals, acceptable risk and short/intermediate growing pains are part and parcel.

Ugh a lot of very negative things said here....I should not be surprised

I am guessing the negativity is mainly because wiser folks on here think you were full of crap with your LAMP type of post.  The same people perceive that your attention seeking is unbecoming and it was attempted to be done on the back of an "expected Bills' demise."

 

Finally,  I would expect people will continue to be "negative" towards you by holding you accountable to this silly stunt.

I've made one official sports bet in my life.  The Bills line in one game years ago - forget the game - was so whacked that I had to place $100 on the Bills to cover a ridiculous spread. 

 

I lost - and never bet since - not counting bets that required me to buy someone lunch or wear an opposing team's jersey. 

 

BR, I wish you the best and hope you've learned betting is a game for fools and never do it again.

This is an ironic statement coming from you.

 

But back to the topic at hand, other posters said your 5k bet thread really did seem like a LAMP one .  How can someone even consider a 17 point spread “because the money line was attractive”  Seemed like a post simply to gain attention.  But If you really did make the bet it’s an unfortunate gambling 101 lesson never to touch a double digit spread.

So, you come here and say (and possibly do) something stupid and if true irresponsible.  Then you crawl back here days later and you start calling out everyone here.  It really is all about you, isn't it buddy?

You opened your mouth 

You stuck your foot in it

You hid for days.  

 

You expected less from a message board?    

 

to the bold .....  You return and accuse a moderator of harassment.  

 

Shades of Dunkirk Don and his fake insight.  And as you have said  prior ... You don't have to follow or care about the rules.

you bring things on yourself.  

 

You should take this as a Lesson Learned - If you don't want criticism,  don't post outlandish things and then accuse people of being mean to you.

You think ive ever let a buddy of mine forget he lost almost 30k in one sitting to an 80 year old woman playing poker in Vegas? Never!  One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. 

$30k in one sitting to an 80 year old woman?

 

OK, I have to ask   Was she HOT?  

 

or just wearing a wig and makeup?

Did the same thing myself years back and will never do it again.  I won't even put Bills players on my fantasy team (winnings are peanuts).  Even if they were a sure pick, I am superstitious because players I pick tend to get injured.  Stupid I know, but....

 

Like any type of betting (casino, horses, sports), you have to truly know the game before you lay your hard earned money down, especially on large $$ bets.

 

Did you honestly think you were going to get sympathy, understanding and respect when you originally put this out on the board.  Win or lose, you have to expect that you are going to get your #@&&$ busted.

Lol no just some old Jewish lady at the bellagio. He could afford it and it was def his biggest loss ever it wasn’t more than his biggest win.   His thing is he drinks so much when he’s gambling people think they can take his money but they lose to him. I’ve honestly never seen anything like it and when I go out there the dealers say the same thing
