Haters hate Burd that's what they do. This snitch of an employee is jealous you won $25K and will be beside himself/herself if you win the $100K. Just do a Mea Culpa tomorrow and move forward. Watch your back on that Snitch Hater moving forward.

let me clarify, i understand if you're like a surgeon. your finger slips, you kill somebody. whoops. my finger slips after lunch, i hit backspace or CTRL+Z and all is right with the world.

i have only watched three of the 24 games thus far. i was at my parents for the patriots-colts game, and they have every channel that is offered in the US. i went out a couple nights ago with the wife and a dear friend to watch the memphis-philly game, and is streamed one game on my computer using a friend's login info for watchespn. i have no plans of watching the game live tonight. just sitting on the couch, trolling the forums, playing some trivia crack on occasion, maybe reading some 'a feast for crows' and updating the score on my phone every so often. don't let the streak fool you, i am a nerd on multiple fronts; not just sports.

amen. congrats my friend. prepare yourself for about 50 people that will go to great lengths to explain both the concept and the benefit of hedging, as well as another 50 that will want an update at the top of every hour as to whether or not you've received your money from covers. other than that, everyone is very pleasant and supportive. great win tonight, and best of luck onward and upward!

Good luck, brackson13.

Whether you win or lose tonight you will always be the "Black Swan" here. Reaching 25 seemed well outside the realm of plausible expectations; firstly, there was almost nothing as precedence (as far as I am aware) to signal it being an achievable goal; secondly, your winning streak has invigorated nearly every one with hope to one day win. And, lastly it had to be done one day.

Win or lose tonight, you are already a winner to us all. Salud amigo, cheers from South America. Win tonight!

nerves are doing fine at the moment. on my second homemade bourbon and cherry coke, which is slightly stronger than the kind that costs $12 at the bar. feeling fine. like i said when i got to 17 in a row, everything from this point forward is icing on the cake. the start to 2015 has been much, much better than last year and many years past. i am so grateful for everything that's already happened, i'm just enjoying the ride at this point.

@vaico, i see you've been a member since 2009 and that was your first post. gracias, amigo. took french growing up, so that's about the extent of my spanish at the moment. working on it so that i can speak with some locals in peru later this year. i'm rambling, the point is i am honored that you waited 5+ years for the right spot for your first post and decided it was to wish me luck tonight. thank you, sir.
