Chus, your desire to poke at us (me mostly) for wagering mistakes is approaching Gloopanian levels of weirdness. Can'tcha just be happy there is one show on the radio that regularly uses the line for lots of content? Loved your comment on me living in a trailer if I didn't make six figures. My annual budget for football betting presently is exactly 1% of my annual income. You think I'd bet more if I were pounding nails for $50K a year?
If you didn't talk like you were Danny Vegas, perhaps my tone would be different. The whole idea that you are an investor is silly. The point of investing, is to increase the bankroll. You are an action junkie. There isn't anything wrong with that. Hell, I was on NC State last night.
I don't know what you would do, if you made $50k pounding nails. I try not to deal in hypotheticals. If that was the case, I wouldn't know what your plays were, because I wouldn't hear them on the radio.
Speaking of hearing them on the radio, there was a game last year involving SF, where you waited too long, and took a bad line. Late in the game, Harbaugh had the punter run out of the end zone, for a safety. Those two points cost you a cover. I got the cover because I bet a good line. Harbaugh is trying to win games, not cover bad numbers for Danny Vegas. You went on the air the next morning, and whined about Harbaugh blowing it for you. You blew it by taking a bad number.
Right around that same time, you were thumping your chest about your "investing" after a couple good weeks. I posted here that I had listened to you for twenty years, but not for your gambling advice. I said that you were definitely down, probably a lot, over those twenty years, and your guy probably sent you X-mas cards every year. Well, you obviously read that, and went on the air to bash me, not by name, but you were talking about me. You said, and I paraphrase, "despite what some people on a message board might say", and you basically called me a liar. So, let's not pretend that I am just some lunatic hurling gauntlet after gauntlet at you.

Bash away at me for me being a chalk player who waits to long during the week to make a move....but challenging my financial responsibility with two kids in college and the other a life-time commitment is one of the more ridiculous comments made in this section in a long time
I have, and I will probably continue to laugh at you for taking bad lines, and calling it investing. I will continue to laugh at you betting huge ML favorites, because your boyquarium agrees in a confidence pool (winning fourteen $100 bets, and losing three at -500 or more, puts you in the hole). That isn't a recipe for success. If if was that easy, everybody would be doing it.
I don't think anybody but you read this as me "challenging your financial responsibility". The comment about living in a trailer was a joke, Mac. I have never taken a shot at your family, nor did I make light about your issues last year. I am commenting on what you say on the radio. That's fair game, champ. Everything that I have said, is within the boundaries of good taste.
