    To hedge or not to hedge...that is the question.

    In May, you got 30-1 odds for San Fran to win the Super Bowl.

    Then in September, ditz got 40-1 odds for San Fran to win the NFC.

    Am I misunderstanding something here, the odds got that much longer over the summer?

    What happened between May & September?

    What were the odds on SF to win the SB in September?

    What does "bad number" mean?

    I had a friend who was staying at the Westgate for a convention. I asked him to bet it for me. I'm sure there were better numbers available, but I'm just a 49er fan not a real sports better.

    If anybody's trying to get "dead-end redietz" to post his plays prior to the games being played by doing it yourselves, all you'll succeed in doing is scare the guy away again. Remember, he's an expert at "crickets".

    Nah. I'm just excited about my bet. In fact I posted that ticket on another site back on June 1 and rdeitz thought the 49ers had potential but suggested I should have shopped for better odds. For what it's worth I think it's likely he got money down on them.

    I'm expecting you'll win that bet. All the hoopla is around Mahomes, who has the greatest playmakers in the history of the NFL as receivers. But Jimmy G. has something he doesn't have and probably never will--2 rings....and this is his 4th Super Bowl. While he had little to do with any of those SB's he goes in without jitters and all the experience in the world with the buildup and hype.

    LOL
    Poor Shack had a bad experience at Riverside checking into his room.
    He was offered two buffets for compensation but refused and wanted more lol.
    So he wrote a letter to Don Laughlin as if he is actually going to read his letter or care at the age of 88.

    First off, I've experienced that same type of thing 6-8 times. It is very frustrating, and even more so if you traveled 5-10 or more hours to get there (Shack's trip was 2 hrs. max) and/or if you have a spouse with you (he was most probably alone since he never mentioned a partner).

    Don't know what type of player he is at Riverside, but an offer of 2 buffets whether "anytime" or not, is totally inadequate to anybody who's looking for compensation. He'd be better off with two free drinks in the Loser's Lounge. Their buffet is garbage, and it would be an insult even if he weren't a big player there.

    That said, I can't see why he'd bother with looking for something from a place like that because of a check-in mess-up. WTF does he expect from a low-level property in Geriatric Park anyway? Did he confuse the hotel with Bellagio? Sure he got irritated and pissed, but he should have just taken a deep breath and gone about his business. It's one of the lessons he should have learned from years of going to a dump like that.

    As far as writing that letter....where'd he get his influence & instructions from--Dan Druff? Is he really letting this barely-there incident eat away at him? Does he want to think the hotel singled him out specifically to aggravate the hell out of him? Does Shack really have a Dan-style "hey, do you people know who I am....you CAN'T get away with doing that to ME!?"

    in the times I've had to go thru check-ins like this, I never even THOUGHT about retribution, revenge, or letting it get under my skin like this. It just never occurred. It was just part of what I was doing. So if Shack--an experienced traveler--wants the Riverside or Old Man Laughin to cough up something, there's something else at play here.

    Shack must be actually paying for his room/stay lol.
    He posted later that he asked for the Resort Fee to be waived and they wouldn't take it off.
    So his first mistake is actually paying for his stay in a place that is very easy to get comped rooms or stays.
    And most likely he is paying for his food which is another mistake IMO that is.
    Whatever though.

    He said he's been going there since 1986....and he doesn't get a room comp at a place that comps rooms just for putting a twenty into a vp machine? WTF does he do there, buy watches from The Watchman?

    There's something off about this. Somebody should ask him about that. And what gambler EVER pays a resort fee....

  11. #3751
    An assistant will read it. He'll probably receive a comped room. I once got a free month of internet and 12 months of $15 off for writing an email to the Verizon CEO about a bad install experience.

    Yeah, I just recently noticed that. Last year it was free 2 night stays, now there is a resort fee for a FREE 2 night stay. Haha. Of course I don't play enough for them to waive it.

    About WOV, I remember there being suggestions that banned Members donate $1,000 for reinstatement and even ONE offense such as inadvertently hijacking a thread would cause a rebanment and the person doesn't get their $1,000 back. What do you guys think of that suggestion? I personally think only a desperate idiot would donate a non refundable $1,000 to WOV for reinstatement that has the risk of them quickly being rebanned, but it would make sense if the Person gets their $1,000 back if they are ever rebanned.

    Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.

    you're willing to risk $1,000 to get back on Wizard of Vegas? I mean, I know you have problems but, You got problems, kid.

    No, I didn't say that. I was just bringing up the suggestion that was said about the $1,000 reinstatement thing. I even pointed out that only a desperate idiot would pay a non refundable $1,000 Donation to get reinstated on WOV, especially since they could quickly become rebanned again.

    One just has to laugh at the fucked up moderating over at WoV. IN the Election Betting thread Wiz asked that the discussion be kept to betting and odds and not fall off into political discusion. Babs was the first to go political early on. Wiz ignored her comment but AZDuffman pointed it out. At which, Babs blasted Duffman with a blatantly insulting post. The Wizard's response was to close the thread. Babs gets away with another one. She has no business being a moderator and the Wizard is her enabler.

    Shack deleted the post. It looks like Boz finally got fed up with the bullshit. The moderating is fucked up. Wizard let Babs go after she clearly insulted the hell out of AZDuffman. They just lost a bunch of people not long ago and now they are trying to get rid of some more. Wizard's suspension of redietz was also lame. redietz gets it for hijacking but Babs is allowed to insult away. Fucked up place. I'm glad I'm not associated with it anymore.

    Shackleford suspended me for "hijacking" even though I started the post with "I don't know what the above has to do with," which was commenting on the previous poster who attacked my credentials regarding sports betting vis-à-vis Shackleford. The previous post had been a non-sequitur, to which I responded. Anyway, when Shackleford quoted my post as reason for "hijacking," he left out the "I don't know what the above has to do with" paragraph. So I pointed out that the previous poster had hijacked, but Shackleford edited that out.

    He suspended me because I called out someone he described as a "fan" as making a really dumbass wager. It didn't occur to me until afterwards that Shackleford meant that the guy was a "fan" of Shackleford. Jesus, I thought he meant a sports fan or something. LOL. Who calls someone else a "fan" of themselves?

    Evidently, Shackleford makes the same kind of wagers. Who knew!?! Well, a dumbass bet is a dumbass bet, no matter who makes it. I shouldn't say dumbass. It's either dumbass or really, really lazy. One or the other. In any event, it's wrong.

    I don't get real perturbed with Shackleford because he's pretty transparent. It's his site. He's running a pseudo-help site for gamblers. In actuality, he's just greasing the wheels for casinos and his ego.

    "Singer" gets a lot of stuff correct when it doesn't have to do with himself or his personal mythology. He has the Shackleford stuff correct.

    Quick story: Basically, I don't know much about WoV, as I rarely read the stuff or post there, so I called somebody out for dumbass betting without knowing Shackleford makes the same kinds of wagers. It reminded me of another moment in my life. I was in a non-fiction writing class at Penn State, and we had been assigned to read an interview non-fiction piece in a local monthly magazine. I went to class, and the instructor informed us that the writer of the piece had moved events around in the story and made up a few small details, and what did we think? I raised my hand and said I thought it was dishonest to do so, and that non-fiction should be non-fiction, and this is why people distrust writers or journalists. The class was absolutely silent. Well, I had missed the previous class, when the rest of the class had been informed that the piece was by the instructor under a pseudonym. I didn't know that, of course, so I spoke my mind. I like to think I would have spoken my mind regardless. And I probably would have.

    Redietz, you should start a thread on WoV on that kind of parley bet and why it's a bad bet.
