See how it works for me,
I did not think anyone would post something on covers that was not true,.
I use weeble to check if he is on the same page on plays I do,I can't hang with his amount of plays,I don't mind having a couple bills going a day,but 7 to 8 bills a day takes the fun out of it for me.
Did you see I hit the over in Atl.-Mia.also,,

You would have to be at our age to understand that answer,plus with companies getting rid of pension's it is going to be even harder for my kids when they get older,so not only do I have to be able to get 4 grand a month to retire,I also would want to leave a nest age for my kids.
Don't know your age but how you feel changes as you get older and how is your health,what if at mid 50s you are not able to work anymore.At 60 I found out I needed major work done,all my plans went out the window.
I was lucky and after a couple years was able to get back on track,so if your younger work hard and save and if your losing money at this hobby of ours QUIT.

Dale Scott gave Rodon some really bad calls last time
and he has no reason to not just do it again and again.

I am comfortable and satisfied with what I have, and there is no longer the need to make money at this like there was 40, 30, 20 years ago, but it has always been a labor of love, and that s why I stay at it. What I would warn younger people about is that they need to stop thinking of sports wagering as a "get rich quick" scheme. It is just as difficult as making money any other way and long term success is not built on 10 team parlays or 1,000 to 1 shots coming in. What is disappointing is that so many have never acquired the tools they use every day to make a living: Education, study of the masters of the trade, experience, and discipline. When I think of background that leads to success I most often think of J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb. His senior year in high school he was afraid he had missed something so he took 9 courses, and scored straight A's in all. After graduating Summa juice Laude from Harvard, you know what he did? He went to England for two years and then Germany for two years to learn all they had to offer about physics. After all that he became the foremost physicist in the world, but it was not without the proper background for the task.

"Summa juice Laude"

You gotta love it. Covers is so PC oriented you can't even spell/post Summa Kooom Laude correctly.

Well said, Key.

We're all flawed in some way. Even a grizzled veteran like yourself makes mistakes and says stupid things. Like how the Twins should have been a -240 favorite with Ervin Santana on the mound.

As long as people learn from their mistakes and don't over preach. I don't have any issue with them!

Good luck on your plays today!

Well thank you for responding to my temporary lapse of sanity haha losing the over in phil and pitt game last night would do that to a person.   Just on a side note, i don't bet a lot , i am in my early 50s. and I only do this because my work is so freeky boring.  i need work to go faster and there is something exciting about being bad ie (gambling) haha only if the wife knows about this.   It's like having an affairs, sneak, exciting and fun without major consequences heheh.    I can't claim i am an expert or that i know a lot of info about teams i bet on but i seems to do quite well with this mantra. " If a bet is too good to be true, take the opposite side. "

Hahaha on another side notes.  Why are gamblers a tad more interesting to be around than a regular Joe?  Anyone feels that way?

IP addresses can be easily manipulated. My office is on Long Island. But, the IP address reads Norwalk, CT. Which is 75 miles away.
