I need to lie down I just played 30 minutes of CFB 25 and it feels like one of those 5 mile walks

I'm pooped

It's hard work but rewarding. Won again 27-20 to go to 4-1.

the odds for us men and women basketball winning their next games are so high that I can't even get any meaningful return off a -1108 parlay

You bet a dollar you get 8 cents if you win

not worth the trouble

My bed isn't that packed !

Ended up putting in a parlay with over/unders on points. I'm just trying to use my profit boost tokens and insurance tokens before they expire. :rant:

it was honestly dumb because if oakland had just won yesterday i would have literally been given 25 dollars. I'm pissed about that :laugh:

Another reason I don't want to do the betting apps, they're quite evidently unfair and rely individuals thinking they can make money
They also run a lot of promos like that 25 dollar free bet token I keep talking about. I know if I lose I won't lose 25, but the thought of winning 25 dollars I could just cash out on is enticing.

They had a few single game parlay 25% boosts and olympic basketball boosts but you need something with +400 odds

Yeah but how much did you have to spend to get the chance to place a bet that had a chance at winning you 25 doll hairs?

I get that it's entertainment, but it's also built on the premise that Joe Schmo thinks he can beat the house, which just isn't true.

Nothing. It was a promo, they have them occasionally

Yes, it's possible to win in the micro, but casinos are a business and they work in the macro.

It's all about expected value, and I wouldn't be surprised if most betting options have a bad EV. Yes, you can win, but you're probably getting uneven odds and far more likely to lose than win in the long term.

And I know I would probably get sucked into that shit, so avoiding it is not a bad decision.

These people driving in the rain, smh.

No, you're not being safer by going 15 under with your hazards on, not when it means that people now have to navigate around your stupid ass.
there was an ig I posted of this in Florida the whole comment section defended the hazards driver for being safe

some guy was driving 15 mph in a 50 the other day I had to shift left and pass

If you're going 35 under, you should just pull over. Going that slow makes you an unpredictable obstacle to other drivers.

I understand why people put their hazards on, they think it makes them more visible, but it's rain not thick fog.

And putting your hazards on supersedes your turn signals, making it less safe for when you intend to turn or change lanes.

It's just so selfish and stupid to think "These conditions are really dangerous, but not dangerous enough to pull over and wait a few minutes."

Of course, it's not that simple when someone has a job to be at and their manager is a shithead that doesn't care for their employees' safety.
