Just for clarification - you're saying that if I make bets through the website and it generates a QR code, and then by the time I get to Poto, the lines have changed, I won't get the lines I originally bet on? That kinda sucks if true.

That's my understanding. Not locked in until the bet is actually placed. Of course the line could have changed in your favor.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Prevents people from fake betting on every opening line and then only paying for the ones that moved in their favor by the time they get to the window.

I suppose that's true. But my guess is that you could put additional protections in - like your QR code would require you to pay for every bet you've placed, rather than allowing you to pick and choose.

It's not a bet until you put your money down.

You don't get to pre-hedge.

Forgot this was last night. Looks like Pettis won on a majority decision. 8 round bout. Wonder how many attended. I'm guessing not many.

Not many. I got free floor seats from a client.

After reading your posts in this thread I decided to stop at poto and place some bets on the fights. Was bummed out that they weren’t taking any on that event.

We've had our Costco membership for a while now, but we 100% are not utilizing it for food like we should.

What's everyone's favorite Costco food items? Lunches, dinners, snacks, whatever.

Someone maybe 6 months ago shared a site where they bought their gummies from and a couple other people vouched for the site. I can't find it via search for some reason. Anyone got the site (or other recommendations for online CBD/Delta gummy ordering)?

I got yelled at because I refused to play some stupid game that everyone else was playing and called them out when they quit after 15 minutes. So how's everyone else's Easter going? :lol:

I was a little bummed heading into the weekend because Easter celebration was gonna be on Saturday when the Brewers weren't on during the day, but it ended up working out nicely. Played a bunch of cards outside instead and watched the kids have fun hunting Easter eggs around. I headed home about when the Brewers got into a hole early.

It meant today I had f*ck-all to do except watch the Brewers and the Masters and do some bread baking. Was nice.

I may finally be losing my mind. I've had to deal with construction outside my place on and off for a decade, but I think the nice weather and longer days has me at my breaking point. I could throw a baseball from my porch and hit a massive excavator and the dump trucks taking earth away. They're working from before I'm awake and they're around until the sun goes down making ungodly amounts of noise. The foundations of two of the new buildings aren't even built. This is going to go on all summer. Sunday is the only quiet day of the week. Monday through Saturday is just noise pollution ****.

Man that can get really really annoying. I litterally sold a house back in 2010 because a big construction project got approved that would have been years of noise behind my property. We were going to upsize as some point but that was the motivation to get it done asap.

Directly across from my current house is a large grass common area that our HOA's landscaping company uses as a meeting point and also seems to kill time by walking around with blowers. I don't know why leaf blowers need to operate at jet engine noise levels but its super annoying for the few months we can have our windows open. **** so loud I have to close up for client calls.

We're having the house re-roofed as I type this (the tear-off started yesterday). Granted, it'll only last 1-2 weeks, but having 4 guys dance around on top of your head with hammers & shingle strippers ain't much fun.
