Duke is half your age. It’s you we are worried about. Hope you are eating healthy this evening

I won $297 with a $10 bet


Didn’t expect that payout, I was hoping to buy at 5% win probability to maybe 30-40%, close position and make around $30. As soon as the Ravens got that 3 and out, it’s almost destiny for the Bills to win at that point.


You can trade options like that? Interesting


Robinhood has a new event function. It charges $2 for every time you purchase/sell a contract unless you wait until the end of the event. I didn't realize I could do that until this past weekend at the UNLV vs UCLA college football game (Go REBELS!). I had a feeling that UNLV would have a fast start at home; so I:
1. Purchased 100 contract at the beginning of the game with UNLV at 48% chance of winning ($48 dollars with a $2 fee)
2. Sold when they were up 10-0 in the second quarter with the ball in their hands. At the time, UNLV had a 78% chance of winning (payout $78 but I had to pay another $2 fee)
3. Switch to UCLA making a comeback (when they were losing 23-0 they had a 3% of winning), purchase 100 contract ($3 with a $2 fee)
4. Once UNLV's lead shrunk to 13-23, I sold the contract at UCLA at 33% win probability (payout $33 with $2 fee)

The fees can add up, but at least if I knew I made a bad bet, I can cut my losses early (you'd still lose, but not the whole thing). Last but not least.....

If he spit on that eagles player instead, he would’ve been ejected from the game for sure.

Instead he just bitch slapped the **** out of him. Lol

do you think that bear head is real? taxidermy?
arms probably not (maybe the claws) but the head looks like it might be
