Rod's NBL Round 2

Brave move after the shitfest they put up............Maybe they blew the cob webs off.......

Dont forget Rod, Perth lost Peter Crwaford this year, he was one of there best last year

<Rostos Mode On>

Fuck off Cats and Crocs. How the fuck do both these teams throw away game winning leads.I fucking hope both their planes crash on the way back home because they can fuck themselves the worthless box. Fuck this fucking bush league, fuck my life, fuck you all and fuck democracy

</Rostos Mode Off>

I feel so unlucky right now

If i was on crocs, i would have lost it........Perth was bad, but i wouldnt be able to handle if i was on the crocs......

The worse moose in NBL i ever ever had was about 6-7 yrs ago when the kings played the Pirates. I was at the game and i almost cried after it......

I had Pirates who were paying about $7 for the win....

Pirates were up by 18 points heading into the 4th.....Sydney came back, anyways, what happened in the last 10 secs, it took me 1  week to get over....

I just remember Jason Smith getting fouled going for a 3 pointer twice......on both occassions on the 3rd free throw attempt he deliberately missed the FT to get the ball back, and somehow they kept on getting it.....Then after they got the 3rd rebound, he ran back to the 3 point line and got fouled again......and they won......It was one of the most ridicolous things i ever encountered...

But , some incredible luck as well.....

I remember when the South Melbourne team played the Crocs a few back, there was 10 secs left, i needed a 3 pointer to win the over.....The game was a blowout in favour South melbourne....Anyways, Joe Ingles stole the ball, 8 secs left, game was a blowout, when he stole the ball, there was NO ONE in front of him....I was certain he was gonna go for an almighty game ending dunk......For some reason he pulled up at the 3 point line and swished a 3 with no one in front of him......he had plenty of time for the dunk.......Me and my mate just looked at each other and couldnt believe it

Joe Ingles was also on the over

oh, and how could i forget kelvin RObertson from the crocs.i needed 3 points for the over, i was at the game against the kings, game was dead......he launched a 3 from the top of the arc......I am sure he shot it after the time expired.....I looked at the refs and they signalled that it wasnt counted, the scorers still counted it.no one cared as it was a blow out......i was just like WOW......

Also, i remember when Goorgian was the coach for the Melbourne titans team......they were in a semi against Adelaide....game was dead, i needed a 3, there was 10 secs left......Titans had the ball, down by about 12 points, Darren Smith, Jason Smith's twin brother had the ball........he was intending to bounce it out, the crowd was going crazy as they were already celebrating, the players were pretty much shaking hands.....As Darren Smith had the ball he was walking past Goorgian....Goorgian said something to him, i then just remembered Smith accelerating past half way to the 3 point line and swishing a 3...

Goorgian on over

Rostos, do you keep a book where you write down a summary of every game you wager on?

Like this one time, in band camp  

LOL, nah mate, things like that stay in the memory bank, some good, some bad...

I remember a while ago now, during my lunch breaks i used to go to the TAB on Elizabeth Street, there was this guy who was always there, always there.........He would have been about middle 30's.....any ways we would start talking over NBA etc etc....then he started showing me his tickets.........This guy was on another stratosphere.....I saw with my own eyes, the guy putting on $3-5k on line 10 legged multis.....paying out $200-$300k.........

I remember specifically, he showed me this multi that was like 12 legs long, he won all except a Tigers Warriors game...He had backed the tigers to win 1-12, the tigs were winning then they had a player go to the bin for 10 mins, the game changed completely and the Warriors won....he didnt really seem to care....

He then pulled out a stack of TAB tickets, each won was like $3-5k....I once saw him go to collect a winning of like $50k, i just remember the TAB attendenant saying, payment is getting authorised by senior management.....

Anyways, i never asked him what he does for work, but the guys that knew him better said that he basically owns about 8 shops in the MLC centre and just goes around collecting rent every week......

I was like, NICE!!!
