*** Official Flying Stupidity Wagering thread ***

[Tellafriend]

Thanks pal. You are a gentleman.

MLB is just awful. Yesterday was an abortion for me. Lost $7500 which follows the day before winning $5000. Had that awful feeling degens get in our gut after such a bad loss.

I have always thought your action has always been under the radar around here. This and the amount of travel you pack in.

Gotta be honest, I am thinking about the Atlantis in October. I'll just look by the pool and see if anyone is logged into PFA and send over a $20 rum punch.

Or will you be in Bali?

A fan.

A true compliment from one of our best. Thank you sir.

We are supposed to be there for a week in early/mid October - so that could be a bad week for their book
Let me know if you decide to go. I can give you lots of suggestions while you are there.
We will know for sure in the next week or two. If not, it will be Vegas for a poker event at Wynn.
If you do Atlantis, do the Cove. Its worth the price bump.

[Tellafriend]

I'll be the Bahamas thanksgiving week. For what it's worth (if you are asking) for the $$ go to cable beach. Atlantis is probably the most pound for pound overpriced place on earth.

the new Baha Mar is spectacular. I thought I had posted, but probably forgot. We stopped by for some meet and greet with a host and was impressed. It's almost a replica of the Wynn. I've heard their rates are low, place is empty, a total lack of a plan from what I could see. Once they get their game on I will likely make the switch, but for now Atlantis covers everything for me without undue expectations.

[Sanlmar]

I know I'm in Florida Oct 3-18.

We will see what the old lady books. That would be a meetup I'd enjoy.

I need to share bad real estate mistakes with Pooh @ The Mucky Duck. He knows how I fucked up bad in NH. The two of us can swap homeopathic remedies for a gaping anus.

[Tellafriend]

I'm game for some ideas and action today. I'll do some shopping but would prefer less work - so dish it up. Past posting will be red repped today.

Then I won't tell you that my big bet yesterday won by roughly a dozen runs. That said, I still lack sufficient confidence to start posting again given my last month.

Oh, and I had NYY and SF yesterday, the latter of which was going to pay quite well. <sigh>

Great trip pics, one ? What is that sauce with the lobster tail? Looks weird but tastes?

Yeah won $15k I think. Was up $50k but got stupid in the sauce and donked most of it back until my wife pulled me out of the pit.

Sauce was a semi sweet cherry/tomato sauce. Was odd, but good.

Lobsters in Florida etc. nope.

Only in New England - the best are the little road side dives that you point to the victim and they cook it up and you eat on some picnic table outside with a beer.

Just dawned on me Daly runs this thread so we can talk about mosquitoes, camping and Jeep death rattle too.

Lol, Druff. Mosquitoes are serious business

dont want to derail the betting thread, but couldn't agree more...went to the keys last year and had a lobster...was all excited about it and it was extremely mediocre...something about that cold northern water that really does it...

and lol about the picnic table shit...went to one of those kinda places right outside new haven...was fucking phenomenal...grilled up with an ear of corn...was like $25 or so...

I'm sorry, is someone wagering yet?

I am a huge fan of grilled corn lately. But what these guys usually do is throw the corn in the same boiling water as the lobster.

Which I guess brings the debate about lobster grilled or boiled. Boiled is the correct answer.

I was across the street at Markey's the night before this place burned down.

Fire guts Brown's Lobster Pound kitchen in Seabrook

Blew off working on a Weds. Went to Hampton beach for the day. Paid $30 to park. Saw Ted Nugent was playing one of the dives at the beach. Some fireworks at night. Check out the bad tattoos and people watch.

My impression that day:
Why in the fuck didn't girls dress like this when I was a kid? I really can't fucking believe bikinis these days. Pretty much just a merkin and we're good to go.

I mean I am fucking angry that girls dressed in nothing short of a full body wet suit in my day, comparatively.

I like them both. Already in on Orioles over, again. Their bats have been on fire. Will tail the NYY under now. GL.

Exhibit A - I missed NYY and took the Orioles over. So standard. I did manage to also play the Orioles ML, but still.

[Tellafriend]

ok Sanlmar, confident after my fight win last night, I am ready to step out again. Caveat emptor - I don't understand the line, which usually means I am going to lose - but with how Baltimore's bats have been doing, take them again versus the Red Sox getting +125 or better. There, I said it.

[Sanlmar]

Took a personal day yesterday. WTG on Oriole's Tellafriend. Are you the one who has been riding them? If so, excellent work

This is just stupidity wagering but it's a max bet for me so kind of a suicide note.

Indians Kluber vs Yankees Severino in da Bronx

8/28/2017 1:55:53 AM
DESCRIPTION:
BASEBALL - MLB - 910 NEW YORK YANKEES -106 FOR GAME

I took it last night and it has crept to -111 since. Just NY money, my guess.

These are 2 aces. Severino is 23 and having his first good year. Kluber is Kluber. Kluber has a proven pedigree. The numbers are remarkably similar. Honestly edge to Kluber but that's stupidity wagering for you.

However Severino has consistently faced an opposing ace and won. He has faced Sale twice, Jon Lester, Marcus Stroman, Jose Quintana, Felix Hernandez and Michael Fulmer.

Yankees lineup is healthier than the Indians tonight. Yankees have most everyone back. I like seeing Bird back.

Chapman sucks balls and new closer Betances is no lock. Indians Miller is out. Close game is a sweat. But it's home and Yankees have had some great luck bottom of the 9th offensively.

So many words written and no rational argument except I like Yankees lineup more. Who knows, Judge might make contact.

Side note, I listened to Yankees radio play by play yesterday. I have MLB package and am familiar with all the broadcasters. I love how harsh the Yankees announcers are on air with regard to their own team. They can be brutal. Love it. You get some honest insight from someone who watches daily and is close to team. I am struck by the fact that the second person in the booth is a woman. By the sounds of it she is a middle aged woman too. But she can raise challenges to Yankees performance too. These two are playing well above the norm in an age of team owned and controlled media outlets. Yankees win here. Yankees fans just wouldn't tolerate fan boy shite. East coast thing.

That's my story and I might need to get me some Bitcoin tomorrow. We will see.
