  1. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) Seems like a lot of work and cost to prevent pretty rare events. If gun owners are as lazy as you then I advocate taking all of them away...

    QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 01:08 PM) I think the Russia stuff is dull but otherwise I agree. I like the jabs they are taking at Putin even though it's not him.

    House of Cards is awesome. Enough said.
  7. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) I almost always tip 10% for take out. You are a generous man.
  8. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 10:09 AM) Europa League matches I like today: Ajax +110 - Legia just restarted their season so I'm going with the better team at home against a side that may be rusty Club Brugge +114 - I admittedyly don't follow the Belgian league, but they appear to be in good form and they are away to Aab who play in the Danish league that hasn't started play yet this season so this is a pure fade against a side that shouldn't be in form yet Roma -1 -105 - They are the second best team in Italy. They are at home. They should beat a non-PSV Dutch side every time if they are taking this competition seriously. Inter Milan PK -137 - The ML is tempting but this is safer since they are on the road. They can't be trusted to take this that seriously but they are far superior in class to a down Celtic side. Dnipro/Olympiakos U2 EV - Dnipro's season hasn't restarted yet so I think this is going to be a bore fest PSV/Zenit O2.5 - Both teams can score and both teams make mistakes defensively. Looking forward to this from a pure fun aspect as this should be lively Tottenham/Fiorentina O2.5 -125 - Another one where both teams can score and Tottenham has a tendency to make mistakes. Could see 4 or 5 goals even in either of these I'm only throwing a small amount on these, mostly just to have some fun this afternoon. If you want to be selective, I like the PSV/Zenit over and Ajax match the most. Roma -1 a close 3rd Thanks!
  9. Need some magic today fellas! Give me some bets!
  10. QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) That's incredible, Rabbit. If you are not going to play the 15-20 percent tip game, you shouldn't go out and be a customer. Please PM me details. Me too. I feel like I'm right though.
  11. Thank god I'm a scientist. But seriously, I have extremely wide feet so I can't shop for dress shoes like most. I generally don't need to dress to impress in my field as you are in a lab coat, slacks, and a nice polo most of the days. I would like to invest a nice pair of shoes and a good suit, but my weight is fluctuating these days (mostly downward) so I'm afraid of making a huge investment like that.
  12. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 07:13 AM) The worst is betting on baseball. I'm done with that after last year Yes you are exactly right, that's why I bet on runs. =)
  13. Blacks... it's ok man. I know all about that s***. Black people are terrible tippers.
  14. QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) Valentine's Day brings out the absolute worst people in the world. I am a server and the trash I dealt with last night was unbelievable. I heard so many racist comments from my coworkers last night. Avoid restaurants on Valentines Day everyone. Details or it didn't happen...
  15. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) Hope you listened to that. I missed this one but betting on hockey is dangerous for your health.
  16. Done and done. If they come through I'll give you guys a cut. =)
  17. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 10:57 AM) World team is way better and is +4 in the futures game. Free cheese. What sport is this?
  18. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) I put something on PSV this afternoon (Dutch soccer league). They are by far the best team in the league (19-1-2 on the year) and don't have any real injuries right now. They are on the road at AZ (Aron Johannson's club) but despite AZ's good season so far they have not been that great of a home side. ML is right around -110 so I'm gonna give it a go since I thought this would have been sitting in the -160 range. Edit: This means it's gonna be a draw Giving this one a go. Thanks
  19. Boring betting day. Anyone have any thoughts?
  20. You guys played on little league teams?
  21. How the f*** can you say the Cardinals have a better top 3?

    Student Loans

    QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Why do you say get the loans from your family if you can? On one hand, I understand but on the other, wouldn't you rather be able to take up some of the assistance programs, etc. to pay back vs. be in debt to family members and / or be unwilling to pay them back. Understand if there is a rich uncle that it is a "loan" but not really a "loan" but otherwise, I would think you'd be better off with the government related programs. I will caveat this as I'm not an expert as I didn't have any student debt. Went to a state school which was very low cost and commuted to college so didn't have any significant living expenses so I was able to pay my school with the earnings I generated working part time. I was saying to close the gap if the federal loans didn't cut it. Private loans are just straight the devil and predatory at best. The governement is doing just that as well charging interest on loans when they f***ing know school is already expensive as is. You should not have to go into huge debt to go to school. The level of fail in the country is unreal.
