My uncle was trashing the Orioles saying his Dodgers would make short work out of the Orioles.  Little did he know that all summer long I would listen to WBAL 1090 on my transistor radio under my pillow as I fell asleep at night.

I got my entire bankroll, $50 in a cigar box, and brought it to the kitchen table.  It was everything that I'd earned cutting lawns all summer.

My father, trying to teach me a lesson, grabbed the entire $50 and said "It's a bet".  My uncle ponied up his $50 and the war was on.

To make a long story short, my Orioles swept the Dodgers in four straight games.  Drysdale and Koufax were good, but the upstart Orioles were better.  Jim Palmer pitched a shutout in Game two, riding a Paul Blair solo shot to a 1-0 win.  Frank Robinson was the Series MVP.  Brooks Robinson was "the Human Vacuum Cleaner" at third base.

I treated my friends to ice cream and candy at the town soda fountain.  We were Kings for the next month or so.

And that's how it all began.

Next summer I was talking baseball with the barber as he cut my hair.  He set me up with the town bookie and my sports gambling career was launched at age 11.  I've been a gambling degenerate ever since.  Over the years I'm sure I've lost more than I won.  But as I got older, the knowledge kicked in and the tide has reversed.  You live and you learn.

Always protect your Bankroll.

I really get a kick out of people like you.

They travel to some exotic destination and never leave the "fenced area"

Let me try and put it in perspective.

It would be like checking out California and spending the whole week in Compton.

Chances are you tendered into Belize City.And that is what you came away with.

The worlds 2nd largest reef prevents cruise ships from coming in closer. There are no beaches where tenders dock.

The port area is at the mouth of the Belize river.The tidal effects from the river coming into the ocean there causes brown water. That is the place where cruise ships stop.

Next time try going to the cays,down south or north toward Xcalak.

Rent a place for a week away from the crowd.

You dont know what your missing.

Sorry to hijack your thread Mav

hey shiiiiithead. i took a tour of it on a bus around all what is considered so callled belize. its a POS. its one poor country. roads damaged, trash everywhere, polluted central. they said alot of crime, it looked like compton. so stfu with the people like you fuuckingg idiot.
