You can’t fix it....

This isn't really a topic to nominate people but I am going to nominate myself for just doing something stupid.

Signed up with BetMGM last week to bet on the Husker vs NW. That was dumb but what I just did was stupid. So, I've had a couple drinks today and I start playing around with their bet in live game feature. Have a parley that only needs USC -14 to win it. It's looking like they won't cover so I figure I'll cover my a$$ and bet on Arizona. Thought I was creating a huge in between opportunity, click place the bet and then immediately realize I actually created a huge bad between for myself  :facepalm: So now I only win one or the other and have a huge 17.5 point gap where I could and probably will lose both. I'm an idiot, only excuse is I've had a few drinks.

We know you only drank coke and you're just bad with money.

Betting Talk is like an entirely different language. I have no idea what half of this means.

I've developed the habit of needing adult beverages at the beginning of Husker games. The last thing I want to do is face those 2nd halves stone cold sober. And yeah, I was definitely bad with money on that last bet.

Apparently it was like a different language momentarily for me as well. :lol:   Literally 2 seconds after I hit the place bet button it occured to me I'd done something stupid. Usually you have some time to reverse or cash out your bet but I guess that doesn't work with the live betting feature. Oh well, it was such a small bet I'm embarrassed to say what it was (a couple Little Caesars pizzas...) Still pretty stupid though.

Ahhh yes, the live lines!  

I love them and hate them!

I am in the hate camp  :lol:

I hadn't ever tried using them before. The line kept locking, unlocking and then getting worse. So I jumped on one before really considering what I was getting. My panic buying and stupity contributed more than a few drinks did. I'll be more careful next time.

On the plus side, I made it up on the Bud Crawford fight last night. Boxing lines and props are.....different.

I've always sort of believed deep down that these flat earth, moon landing denier types were knowingly trolling us. Nope. Ran into someone who seriously believes this s#!t and is actively recruiting others to their brain disease.  Watched a few snippets of their conspiracy videos. It's funny stuff....until you realize there are people amongst us who actually believe this stuff. Human stupidity and gullibility knows no bounds.

Specifically, it's a person my wife knows. My wife is too kind. I told her if it was a person I knew, I'd tell them straight up they were too batsh#t and f#cked up for me to waste another moment considering anything processed by their deficient mind.

Yeah, I've seen people get caught up in the Moon landing denier stuff, including a couple otherwise smart people. Even with the craziest theories, they find some semi-legitimate expert who will go into forensic detail on how the shadow created by the flagpole at Tranquility Bay proves it was lit from above ground on a sound stage, and not the surface of the Moon. Years ago I interviewed the President of the Flat Earth Society and got their quarterly newsletter for a year -- just curious how they managed to fill the pages on a regular basis. There were alway the airline pilot who confirmed the Earth was flat everywhere he looked down, and some kind of experiment you could do with a push pin and piece of cardboard to prove the Earth was flat. The FES President told me straight faced that he talked to people in Australia, who confirmed that they weren't hanging from their feet. That kinda stuff. 

 
OMG, dumbest Wheel of Fortune player ever. Had these letters;

ANOTHER FEATHER IN YOUR _A_
 

The same idiot tried to solve it 3 times . HAT….LAP…..NAP. Possibly sadder, the person after her could’ve solved it the same 3 times but didn’t attempt to.  :facepalm:

 
More Einsteins on Wheel tonight.

Here’s the puzzle. All letters but one exposed.

RENTING A PEDA_ BOAT

First guess- Paddle

And again another- Paddle

Then a player guesses letter M

Next player guesses letter W

Finally the 2nd player to guess paddle says pedal.

WTF  :facepalm:

That has to be rigged. L is one of the five most common consonants. We're to believe these people, who presumably watch the game and are intimately familiar with basic strategy, just forgot about the letter L?

How are ratings for Wheel these days?
