crazy fantasy story (i hate reading other peoples fantasy stories too, so bear with me). i was up .5 (roto league) in 2nd but dropped to 3rd in the 4th quarter of the night games in FG%. Randy Foye missed a layup with 3 seconds left in the 4th to put me back ahead of the guy in FG% and push me back in 2nd.

1 shot (and the last one of the yr) was the difference in an entire season in me getting 2nd or 3rd and 1 news story was the difference in me not getting 1st (granted any shot during the season makes the same difference). i won like 3500 or something rather than 800.

Pretty sure I posted it 2yrs ago... but I lost about $1500 in tournament winnings when Klay Thompson threw up a meaningless half court shot, down 6-7, at the buzzer and made it. Again, I feel your pain. As they say, you rarely talk about your great wins, but you'll remember your losses forever.
no, that last missed lay up put me into 2nd. that was the good part.

the bad part was the tyreke news, but that shit happens on a weekly basis, so that's just playing revisionist history.

I'm happy with the outcome.

I'll be in Vegas at the end of the month. Is it bad that I fully expect to spend less than 5hrs the entire week gambling? I just don't get that excited for it any more.

Wont be the best time for gambling on sports as only baseball will be going on but I am a big fan of craps so that will be most of my nights.

Speaking of that... I'm not a big fan of betting on sports, it's a losing venture. I hate watching baseball. I love watching football and basketball. With all of that said, I do enjoy betting on baseball more than any other sport.

I figure I am going to watch some big games in Vegas (normally we go during CFB season) so might as well make it even more interesting and pick some games.

I would say I do pretty well when I am actually there. I really do love betting on baseball though as there is great value on underdogs when you can catch the right matchup.

I don't remember which thread we were discussing yesterday regarding quiet time away from the wife and kids but now the negotiations have begun for a solo trip vs a with the Mrs. trip.

Either way I will be happy as its Vegas but maybe not black kid happy!
