OT-ish: The gambling thread

My son is spending the year living with me trying to decide what he wants to do so my TPE life partner is stuffed in a box.

I don't know what TPE means and I'm four years younger than you. Not sure what that says about either of us? But my 21 year old son just moved to San Antonio after moving back in my house for a couple of months in VA. He has life all figured out, hell he told me and my wife all the things we were doing wrong and how easy things are. If we only knew 21 years ago? Go figure.

Can't wait for life to kick him in the **** a few times. "Hey Dad"....

I'm sorry to hear of your loss

fnordcircle said:

Honestly - I'm not even a gambler. I never bet $ I can't afford to lose. In truth - I'm a pu ssy.

I'm ridiculous frugal, have no debt and limited obligations (my kids are both adults)

I pay $1k a month rent here in Austin and honestly if any 44 year old man can't afford a $300 bet (Plus a freebie $150 for signing up) that man is a loser. I barely make the 'not a loser' cut, fyi.

No you’re smart. That means you don’t have a problem

BTW, congrats on being debt free and both kids surviving to adulthood. A 0% motorcycle loan I carried because we didn't have any recent installment loan history on our credit bureaus is the only debt we've had in the past 15 years. I have to say back when I was in college working overnight shifts along with a couple of part time bartending jobs and a pair of diaper butts whose sole mission in life seemed to be to prevent me from sleeping, the me part of we never truly expected our lives to play out as well as they have. My bride on the other hand never seemed to doubt this outcome, what a shock the redhead was right...again. We paid off both our homes well ahead of time within two months of each other, the contentment I felt when we burned those mortgages brightens my day every time I think of it. But that feeling is nothing in comparison to the pleasure I get from the boys all surviving their raucous youths and my poor parenting skills to become amazingly capable well rounded adults. It can be a great life if you don't weaken and sometimes even if you do...just a bit.

Anybody have any thoughts on this Michigan and Wisconsin game

Not for nothing but do you have any idea how old fnord is, never mind my ancient ass. How the hell are we supposed to be expected to read that?

If you click on it, it should make it bigger. Unless you already did that and still can’t see it

Your son is 90 minutes from me. So just keep that in mind the next time you DARE argue with me on the internet because I will seduce him just to get back at you.

They’ve outscored the Jets 105-12 in the last three meetings at Gillette, so you might be on to something.

I'm ride or die with the Pats, my dude.

Dumb question. Been meaning to get into sports betting a little. Can I do it from the comfort of my home in NH legally?

We had one of those 21 year olds, then he had kids of his own and I was once again magically transformed back into the fount of all male wisdom I was back when he was 12.

I just signed up for Bovada last night and made a deposit using a credit card and it took no time at all. Deposited $300 and that gave me $450 to bet because of some promotion.
