Did you guys have an agreement on how you would split the potential money since you sent his ass in that chair ? Did you have that salesmen blood in you even back then ...

going through pictures and articles. I wanna say he played with "Devilfish" some famous player. I wanna say he sat with the wife of a famous player too. MEHHHH. I found his name on chip counts, but not the picture I am thinking of

I've been a salesman my whole life. In high school I sold the most candy bars as a fundraiser for my marching band going to Disney Florida. The box had 48 bars for $1 a piece. $24 would go to the school and $24 to me

I would cut into my profit and sell the candy like 6 for $5 or like buy 3 get 1 free. I forget. But I would sell a box and have less "profit" but by selling volume I would raise way more money then everyone else. I could easily sell a box+ per day. My teachers were shocked.

As far as the deal me and my dad made....honestly I don't remember, but I'm sure he would have taken care of me had he made it into the money

fun fact...20 years later. I am gifting my dad a seat next year into the main event 2027.

Reminds me of the summer of 1999, a buddy of mine got a hold of an entire book (stole) of acid gel tabs from this drug dealer the night we went to his house party. My buddy Sean came to me and said if I help him sell these tabs at $5 a piece which is nearly 500 hits I could keep 80% of the profits. Took me 7 weeks going to the Dania peer and Hollywood circle to sell all of them word of mouth got around. $5 a hit was a deal even back then for each tab. Luckily never got roped by the police that would've been a messy charge as a youngsta'. Profited over 2K and put a down payment on a 98 Mazda Millenia was riding nice the next year as a senior in high school. The young ladies loved riding passenger seat

so JDS you and Sammy are salesman. Good deal. You both move the goods so to speak.

I'm not really a salesman, that was just an opportunity that was presented to me as an adolescent, it was a gamble with my freedom to even attempted that hustle. I guess I've been a gambler my whole life regarding "anything" in a sense I'll give you that.

Both did a terrible job here picking games

River you need better competition


Sammy bets Knicks and Dallas Cowboys last 15 years

not over Gold. I know you are down on JDS performance but he has about 27 picks left. Sammy has even more. Hit us back come June.

no way I take on Sammy in tennis. Don't know nothing. NCAAF against JDS and Pipe yes. They are tough but I am decent and have a resource I use that really knows the college game. See what goes down.

Hey Sammy: This NYK/ATL series going 7 games. Assuming NYK hold true today looking for you to play them game 6. First time in the series you did not play your team. Hoping you follow thru on THUR in Hotlanta. Get em

 

[theriver55]

you could have went 2-1 tonight Sam. You said you liked the 2 heavy chalk and the NYK were playing.

mental strategy game vs me is extremely hard to win. HOWEVER, I am picks behind and need to pick winners. Just b/c I mentally am winning, doesn't mean my picks are any better

I love mental games. Physcology games. Board games. Mind games. Chess, strategy games. I thrive there

a game where you have to play moves in advance thinking of what the other player will do. love it

Bottom line is you need to pick spread covers. But now you got me thinking why would you tip your hand on strategy other than we have forum discussion going on? I just don't like being too far ahead picks wise. I will stay the course and hold off. But now you got me thinking that is exactly what you want. Reverse psychology is your method of operations. Hahaha

you know Franz Wagner may not play? GL.

 

[theriver55]

Wagner remains questionable on the official injury report, but he did not participate in the morning shootaround and is trending in the wrong direction. If Wagner is held out by Orlando, the team will likely lean more on Anthony Black, Jamal Cain and Tristan da Silva.
