I definetly agree with this one.

Fresh out of college. I went to UNLV so we were always looking for a "tip"....High school buddy is now the bullpen catcher for a MLB team. I get the call. IT's a lock, we're gonna clean up. Between five of us we come up with about $6,000 thousand dollars.

Three of us settle in to watch the game. By the bottom of the second inning we're now chasing 4 runs. Did I mention it's a LOCK. So Irish's statement gave me a chuckle.

It was six thousand dollars-not 6 hundred thousand..Well my share was about $1200. Hey it was a LOCK. Couldn't lose. Had insider information.

That and we were all pretty young and living the Vegas life.....

Nowadays a hundred dollar bet can bring me to tears......

Shouldn't bet on your own games.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
