My neighbor, the idiot.

[Trikflow77]

So my neighbor to my left is a funny story. He is a hispanic guy that won the lottery for like 500k after taxes. So he moves his family out of the gutter and buys a brand new house. They are pretty domesticated, nice people and all that. So throughout the year he would come over to my house drunk and want to bet on football games. We would usually bet 50-500 bucks on games, and i CRUSHED him because he only bets games "straight up" meaning no spreads involved. So i would pick big favorites most of the time and crush him.

He came over last night and wanted to bet me 5k on the GIANTS STRAIGHT UP. Booked and money escrowed.......WHAT A FISH SHIP IT!!!!!!

[Sykedupp]

until the giants win...

[a500lbgorilla]

Ah the famous hustle...

[will641]

wow. can you put me down for 1k?????

wouldnt you feel a little bad if you took so much money off this guy he had to move his family back in the gutter?

[EzDuzIt]

yeah go back to him and try to put more on it, like as much as you are comfortable with... and then if he will go more than that do it and sell off the extra action to FTR.

[gabe]

ha ez money

[Trikflow77]

wow. can you put me down for 1k?????

wouldnt you feel a little bad if you took so much money off this guy he had to move his family back in the gutter?

he payed cash for the house so that isnt going to happen, and he has a job as a truck driver or something. I wanted to bet as much as he would, and 5k was his max.

[givememyleg]

lucky!!!!

[Lukie]

the title was better then the actual post, which surprisingly turned out pretty good too

[ensign_lee]

lol; you could hedge that out to make a profit no matter what happened.

[Silly String]

Variance is a bitch. Even my sets get 2 outed sometimes. I guess at least you got your money in good though.

[Irisheyes]

Trik you're the king of hustle.

[ensign_lee]

I learned my lesson with my bet against spenda.

You can still have a position, just not have yourself exposed on the losing side at all.

Especially when you have in essence

one bet at +100
and the other at +400

[Galapogos]

uh oh...

[Jack Sawyer]

uh oh...

5k, wasn't it?

[ProZachNation]

uh oh...

[Reidak]

9:20 left.. oh no!

[Reidak]

This thread is going to be around for a while if the giants win

[WildBobAA]

That Manning to Tyree pass was one of the sickest things I've ever seen.

[Jack Sawyer]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

[Galapogos]

uh oh...

Manning fluked not throwing an interception on that drive. Tyree deserves a hell of a lot of credit if the Giants win for that ridiculous catch he just made.

[WildBobAA]

Wow if the Giants hold on that's one of the greatest drives ever. so so so sick

[meeloche]

uh oh...

[Galapogos]

Manning fluked not throwing an interception on that drive. Tyree deserves a hell of a lot of credit if the Giants win for that ridiculous catch he just made.

That was a pretty sweet catch. Half right hand, half right side of head.

[mcatdog]

I can't decide which Patriot's face I'm most excited to see after the game

-Brady
-Belichick
-Bruschi
-Rodney Harrison

so many contenders

[WildBobAA]

That was a pretty sweet catch. Half right hand, half right side of head.

The fact that Manning avoided the sack on that play after being basically wrapped up makes it even crazier.

[ProZachNation]

uh oh

[irishiain]

He had a feeling...

[Sykedupp]

until the giants win...

[ensign_lee]

Eli Manning is one lucky MFer

Fixed your post.

Nonetheless, that was A RIDICULOUS CATCH.

[bikes]

umm...fuck

[Pelion]

lol

[flomo]

sorry trik




you hedged it right?

[flomo]

maybe need a new title to thread

[WildBobAA]

The only bad thing about this game is listening to those fuckasses from the 72 Dolphins gloat.

[mojoNOgo]

i just threw up a little in my mouth .

[Jack Sawyer]

I think we just witnessed what will forever be referred to as


"The Upset"

[ensign_lee]

Your neighbor cost himself at least $15,000 by placing that bet with you instead of a book. Hoooooly crap.

[flomo]

The only bad thing about this game is listening to those fuckasses from the 72 Dolphins gloat.

it could be worse if the pats won and we had to listen to them gloat for another 40 years

[Frink]

Dear Patriots,

We welcome you to the "Huge Season/Die in the Finals" Hall of Shame.


sincerely,
The 1954 Cleveland Indians

[Ragnar4]

blaaahh... hahahahah...hahahha. *snort* hahahahah...

man I'm so sorry.. but after a brag like that... dont you think you deserve it?

[mrhappy333]

WHAT A FISH SHIP IT!!!!!!

[swiggidy]

ahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahhahahaha

[Alibi]

lol

[givememyleg]

well that sucks chase

[Pythonic]

You can blame this loss on Belicheck. Who tries to convert a 4th and 13 over kicking a 48 yard field goal in a dome to make it a 7 point lead. That was the worst play call I've seen in my entire life.

[will641]

wow trik that sucks man

[flomo]

rigged

[BigBadBull]

thats a bummer dude....yea thats a bummer....what a hustle though

[euphoricism]

oh god thats harsh.

[FyrFytr998]

Quoted for truth. Their sham of a record lives on. Don't even get me started.

[will641]

i think trik got sucked out AA vs KK for 5k

[WildBobAA]

So the other guy just got coolered, nothing he could do.

[lolzzz_321]

I had the same two thoughts during/after. PLUS, while we'll still here about the dolphins now and again I think when the Bengals ( ) are 11-0 next season mostly we'll hear:

"Trying to become the first team since the Patriots to go 16-0..."

LOL no, he compared the game results


Actually, I think its more of an AA<T8o

[WildBobAA]

It was like AK < 78s. I mean they just played a month ago and it was a 3 point game and the Pats weren't blowing out teams late in the season and playoffs like they were early in the season.

LOL, I was already shopping the new hot tub for the backyard. Oh well, i will take that bet all day every day.

The thing that gets me is i added up all the games we bet on over the season, i had 17 favs and only 2 underdogs and at the end of the superbowl the guy is up 3k total on me for the year. There is alway next year, and you can ask anyone around me i was actually happy for the giants is some sick way. Obv it would have been sweeter if i didnt lose 5k.....sigh

[flomo]

just think of it this way

the fish is on the line and now you just have to get him on the boat and into the frying pan

loss-leader

[Jibalob]

Should have taken 3 of the 5k down the bookies and put it on the giants IMO.

[spoonitnow]

lolololol i'm sorry but i thought of this thread as soon as the giants scored that last td

[ensign_lee]

Actually, it was JUST like AA losing to KK.

Average line was +425, which means that the giants had slightly less than 20% to win the game, according to the moneyline.

Isn't KK a 4:1 dog to AA?

lol; you totally jacked 15k from your neighbor. :P~~~

Average line was +425, which means that public perception dictated that the giants had slightly less than 20% to win the game, according to the moneyline.

lol; you totally jacked 15k from your neighbor. :P~~~

Not quite the same as AA vrs KK.

[boost]

hah, Ive told so many people about this massive beat today at school. Sadly few of them understand that despite the outcome, it was a smart bet to make.
