Finally! Closed on the house and now the fun begins.

The first house we were going to close on appraised at $172k and ended up selling at $187k.

I hope they fixed the bathroom

so ive become obsessed with betting esports. mostly cause im up late and its so wild that we can actually bet esports.. the problem is at least once a week you will get a refunded msg cause of cheating



Makes me kinda chuckle cause we always assume sports in America/Canada are always fair, and if 18 yr old Dota kids can be swayed..

187k is a down payment on a house in California

If a house in Toronto went up for 187, it’d be sold for 800k before the end of the day, torn down, renovated and resold for 1.5 million

Seems odd to compare an 18yr old making $10k-$40k vs an athlete making $450k+.

So because someone makes 450k + they wouldn’t fix things? I’m confused.

In theory since the the consequences of the athlete getting caught and losing the 450k or whatever they normal are paid is usually more then they'd gain from fixing a contest. Risk and reward isn't there to make it worth it for higher paid athletes since they usually are just a paid middle man in the schemes not the main benefactor.

Time out... you guys don’t think ppl fix sports potentially?

You're not confused, you're completely dodging the statement and jumping to a ridiculous conclusion.

No one has stated that.

Then why does what they make matter at all in the situation?

What kind of money do you think a athlete could make from fixing games?

[wdoupis]

It matters because if you have a large salary and someone offers you 10k to throw a game its not worth the risk because you make so much more. I think games are fixed probably more than we think in low to mid level college hoops for example. If someone offers a kid 5k or 10k to shave points when this kid is not playing for a Natty or the NBA I think the risk/reward in his eyes could be worth it. Then the person paying the money can still get action in that makes it worth it.

I'll assume you're trolling as cover for your shitty take. You say some dumb shit, but I refuse to believe you're serious.

Before I answer. Am I allowed to eat pizza yet? Cause I was told
4 years ago about some pedophile pizza or something

Also, if I get covid, I gotta take hydroxychloroquine right? I heard someone’s family member was on deaths door but they took that magical placebo, er I mean potion, that saved them.

Just need clarification on those before I continue.

Omg also don’t forget satanic rituals!!!! Sa fucking tanic rituals. Imagine believing in heaven and hell in 2020.

Anyways you guys are retards if you think people haven’t fixed sports. I didn’t say every game but it happens and I’d argue it happens once a year per sport.

But don’t worry those people who make 450K+ (who are broke 5 years after retirement) would never develop gambling addictions that a little help could get them out of. Neverrr

In May 2011, world governing body FIFA announced an anti-match fixing plan,[5] and in September 2012 FIFA President Sepp Blatter warned that match-fixing endangered "the integrity of the game."[6] In September 2014 the Council of Europe also announced they would tackle the problem.[7]


Don’t worry guys 450k athletes would never do it so what “problem”????????
