If your going to run fast and loose around Vegas meeting Covers posters etc you better hire a body guard.

Obviously, none of you folks are actual business people. When someone offers to invest in your business, you would be insane not to have a meeting especially someone with limited funds like CG. There is going to be a run where CG gets cold and will be down on actual capital so it would be quite beneficial for him to not have to worry about making rent, food, etc if he has money behind him. I am pretty sure CG is smart enough to figure this out. In response to those folks who said I have given CG a "hard time", I have and he has been tough and focused in his defeats and grinding out Ws. I respect that greatly and that is why I want to partner with him. The guy obviously has a gift, and now he has the time and discipline to make some real money. Brady.

A small poodle would probably do the trick.  Or just carry around a cheeseburger or snickers bar.  If see anyone from covers, just throw it down and that will probably distract them for a few minutes.  

But yeah, I wouldn't make too many "gambling" buds, because while it might be fun/tempting at first, in the end there is nothing worse than a broke-dlck, mooching, not-to-be-trusted, degenerate gambler who needs a few bucks.

CG-

I am no expert on what you are doing and I know this is new and obviously exciting for you.  But do NOT ignore exploring things outside of "Vegas" and your new venture.  You obviously like the gym and that is great, but I think you will eventually go nuts if it's just working out, capping, and watching games.  Some of that excitement is going to ebb and IMO, you'll have to find a life outside of gambling.  No different than anything else if you don't have balance (take it from someone who has been there).  

Even if it's hiking, or rowing, or biking, or model rocketry....SOMETHING to turn off your brain and scratch some other itches.  Something where you can meet people outside of the "life."  

Easy to ignore those things when it's a new an exciting adventure. But keep 'em in mind and I think you'll keep your sanity.

Obviously you aren't a business person either.

Here is what you said 2 weeks ago.  

You will be home by March. You are awful in hoops. And don't say look at last year bc all you won were parlays and you stated no more parlays in Vegas. So let's hear your dumbass logic person.


Now CG gets hot and gets a decent streak going and he goes from "awful" to having a "gift"???  SMFH.  Where do you people come from??  And even if he was interested in being backed, just accepting invites to meet every tom-person-harry on the internet is a HORRIBLE idea.  Usually the people that come running offering help first are the ones you have to watch out for the most.

This is a sad thread....This guy is young and should be chasing women, traveling the world, working on a guaranteed salary....This will be a disaster....I actually feel bad for him....NOTHING replaces guaranteed money like a real job...NOTHING...
