FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (17 Viewers)

You know how every league has a guy who runs his mouth non stop. Not in a I'm funny and it's schtick way, just being a plain **** way. Well our "guy" ran his mouth all day today about how my team let his team back in it and how he was going to run the table and kick me out of the playoffs. Well he really had every right to because I was down 40 going into tonight and all I had left was the 49'er D and Akers.

:unsure:

Not that anyone cares, but I'm down 6 now.

I'm rooting for 3 more Akers FG/0 XP/shutout Bears just for you.And my bets.
 
Is there a reason NOT to play Wong teasers at RB? They always seem to be on the sharp side of things except when teams are near the teaser range. They have GB, SD, Cincy and STL right now :shrug:

New rule for the Chalk Parlays. No Away teams. It's always the away college teams that blow these things up.

I don't like road chalk anyway, plenty of home chalk to choose from. Plus anything less than -400 is probably pushing your luck and next week we're gonna be counting on the Eagles to take us home. lol

Question on something.

After I got divorced, I decided to buy myself a nice car. I had driven an 2000 Impala for 9 years and it was beat to #### but it had 112,000K miles on it and never broke down ONCE. No car payment - I owned it out right(first mistake was getting rid of it)

After riding the GooRoo train for a while with a local who would take the plays, I got myself an Aucra TL - 2007 I believe with all the bells and whistles. It's got 2 years left to pay off at 430 a month (it was 26K when I bought it).

Anyway, I live in the city now, when I travel for work, I take the Subway to the airport when need be. Insurance is another 130 a month. I should have never bought a nice car with a mangy dog that flips out every time I leave her in the car.

Point being - I would guess I'm upside down about 3-4K on it. I owe 11500 still. It has 56K miles on it, but I had trouble negotiating a turn in a CVS parking lot while looking in the back seat to tell me dog to shut up and hit a light pole and never bothered getting it repaired.

I'd be happy just driving a Civic if it was paid off. I drive MAYBE 15 miles per week since I work from home and walk everywhere.

Is there any value to covering the upside down 3-4K and just scooping like an old Civic for a payment of like 100 bucks a month or am I just spinning my wheels here (no pun intended).

Looking for the best course of action to not be dropping a 450 dollar car note every month yet realizing everyone is upside down on a vehicle when they owe money on it.

Looking for some insight - here's as good a place as any...

So listen to this. I have a good friend who is a terrible gambler (no rhyme or reason to his plays) who always gives me #### for not giving him my picks. So he went to Las Vegas for the very first time and wanted all my picks this weekend.So I sent him the Colts (which I didn't even bet myself), and then eight college leans and my NFL teasers. Of those 8 college games they went 7-1, the only loss being TCU. I didn't bet two of them which I regret a bit, but I'm doing ok today. So right now he's down like 1.5k on the tables and slots and is mad about it. So mad apparently that he did not bet one single game I sent him. So right now I'm rubbing it in. Am I justified in doing so? I will say this, I will never give him another lean unless he needs it to avoid becoming homeless.

Reminds me of the old story about the guy who tells his degenerate buddy that he has a SURE THING in football. The coach is on the take. The QB is on the take. Half the defense is on the take. "Great," he says. "Got anything I can parlay it with?"

:goodposting: this is a good call too

He'll play all the teasers tomorrow and they will all lose and he'll be mad at me. This is why I never give him any picks.

that's what i was thinking. I have been there before. I could see going to Vegas, probably in the middle of a losing streak, and being too nervous to make the plays yet because i don't want to lose any more money. Then, after the first few win i would only bet on TCU because it was left or becuase it was one of your bigger bets. Nothing like the picks you send him going 7-1, and he goes 0-1 tailing them

Update:He just texted me: I am taking USC +4 right now! You heard it here first, ND is going down!Me: You do know the USC QB is out right?Him: Well if he meant so much it would be more than 4, you're wrong about this.Me: He's gonna be the first QB taken in the NFL draftHim: I'm still playing it, you're wrongMe: Well since no books have posted it yet the +4 is the local "with Barkley" line. Me: You could get +7 if you waitsilence....because he already pulled the trigger. lol

When your in a home and you re-fi you can absorb the closing costs of a few grand easily because your talking about a 6 figure note.When your in a car and you re-fi (thats what you're doing here, except your walking away with a different car) absorbing 3K-4K into a new note is going to seriously impact your new payments.Unless you can clean it up and get $10K for it there is no reason to sell it. Other wise even if you buy a beat up civic for $100 a month, you still are going to need to finance the $4K and your going to end up with a $200 and something dollar payment.

First thing you should do is get an estimate on that damage.I just searched cars.com for a 2007 Acura TL and the cheapest one with less than 60k miles was $15.9k. If you owe 11k and have 2k in damage you still have a profit margin. To me it doesn't sound like you even need a car but you could probably buy an old Civic for $3k somewhere. Get the damage estimate, get it fixed, get the car detailed for $150 or so and then post it in Cars.com. For you that is a perfect place to post because you aren't in a huge hurry and there is a market for that car at a good distance away. You'll get a lot of bs calls but I sold my BMW on there a few years ago after about two months once I knew the guy who called was serious. I got the exact amount I asked because I knew what the car was worth, figured in the discount to make it fair and let it sit. I was getting calls with people negotiating sight unseen, I didn't even let them see the car. You're in a huge metro and some finance guy is looking for that car right now, I think you can come out ahead.

I just lost on the last play of the MNF game for the second consecutive week.Suisham's FG beat me by .6 last week and Lance Brigg's tackle beat me by 1.2To top it off, I scored the second most points this week.I hate fantasy football so much
 
@RN training day is probably my favorite movie from the last 15 years. I own 3 DVDs: Training day, and Rounders, and Godfather Trilogy. Training Day is just a great great movie.

@DD: thank you very much for the insight man. What a huge help. I never drive, live a 2 min walk from the subway and just can't justify this payment anymore. Especially after my dog has ruined the leather. Thanks again

 
Wow, crazy day. I had no idea that Butler hit that shot to win that first bet for me, I was out hanging my Christmas lights, just saw the final. Another undefeated day in CBB, 3-0 and hit my

unders teaser with the MNF/Jazz/Rockets. I can't tell you how bad I want to play the Illini tonight against USC but ALL of the guys I respect that I follow are on the other side. I'll lay low and count my money. Up 55% total bankroll since I reloaded my account Sunday morning. Just makes that stupid drunk BYU bet hurt all the worse. Who tried stopping me? And why didn't you try harder. Bender?

Or we can trade Bender. I'll send you my 2008 Honda Fit, you send the damaged TL back. :popcorn:

The damage is hardly noticeable. It's a front bumper only. The thing is loaded:blue tooth, heated seats, sunroof, 6 CD changer, auxiliary port. I lived in a place where you had to drive everywhere when I bought it. Now I live in a place where I drive to a Pet Store or Bed Bath and Beyond only. So pointless paying this much for a car now

Love all of those. Someone just started a Kaepernick thread in the SP so I was compelled to make a side-by-side cap.http://picload.org/image/diproal/11-20-201211-31-.jpg
 
USC Illinois u126.5. Opened at 121. I will take the 5.5 free points. USC plays a slow game and Illinois is playing well past midnight on their body clocks

Fail...I mean tail at your own risk

 
3 Point Teaser:

Dallas PK

Detroit +7

Indy PK

Atlanta +2

Jacksonville +6

7:1

Headed back out to the ranch for the holiday. I hope everyone finds something to be thankful for. :thumbup:
