Happy March 1st
everyone. I've now transitioned from guilt ridden and stressed out to
extremely excited and can't focus on work right now. This past weekend I
took the kids camping and spent some quality time with them at the beach which
seemed to ease some of the concerns of not being around for the next 3 weeks.
The stress is also subsiding with a great run of 12-3 in NHL in the last
two weeks coupled with some optimism at work. The confidence level is rising
with less than a week to go, which is good. With that, I was teaching
Wyatt how to calmly roll the dice and not just sling it across the room.
I think I have a new technique that might change my rolling luck of the last
two years.
Last night I was
thinking about goals for the trip and then there was some chatter around if
certain things will happen, so I will put REALISTIC lines on some things that I
want to do and what others have already said might happen.
- Can
Derek not drink for one 16 hour gambling session? +2000- this is real
folks. I'm going to see if I can do it and how it impacts my
gambling. I might just go to a water park or go on a field trip one
afternoon.
- Will
there be a $15 craps table at 9:00pm on Friday at the Mirage? -110-
money has already been placed on this.
- Will
Tanya have our rooms correct? Yes +350/No -120. She is the worst,
but I have to admit I might of gone back to her at least 5-6 times to
change the reservation.
- Over/Under
on the time is takes Eric to first complain about being overbooked,
despite being advised that he was overbooking himself? 12 hours.
Under -150
- Will
someone yell at John to deal the cards?
Yes -135/No +450. Lee, get ready for the worst dealer at the Mirage.
- Over/Under
on the number of craps points hit for the trip: (must play at least 1 time
for bet to be active)
- Wiz- 22
- Eric- 24 (not due to him being the best roller, but
due to sheer volume of his play)
- Lee- 12
- Derek- 8.5
- Mike D- 10
- Mike A- off the board.
Will set line once I see his first craps roll.
- Don- 10
- Over/Under- Derek's total number of missed All Tall/All or Nothing bets because he has to run to the bathroom and one of them hits. 1
- Over/Under
on the number of Baccarat sessions for Eric. 5.5- note Eric said he hates
Baccarat, but we all know he can’t help himself. He loves the old ladies in that room.
- Over/Under
on the number of Salon sessions for Eric. 1.5
- Over/Under
on the number of markers Wiz will have outstanding at ONE table during ONE
session. 2.5. I’m giddy about this
one J
- Will
we have a UTH table designated “Reserve”?
Yes -175/No +200. I think we
are the only assholes to ask the pit boss to increase the limits so that
we keep the idiots away. It worked
in July.
- Over/Under
on Lee’s visits to the special pool section. 1.5
- Will
there be an altercation at a table?
Yes -175/No +150, There were
2 last year. It all depends on what
convention is out there this year. Oh.
Just googled it and we have 3 this year.
Western Veterinary Conference, National Association of Pizzeria
Operators, Nightclub and Bar expo, and the Wedding/Portrait Photographers expo. Interesting
- Will
Derek bet on/against Marquette? Yes
+600/No-1000. I’ve held true to my
New Year’s resolution of not betting a game that involves Marquette. My
hatred for Wojo has blinded me on this team so I’ve stayed away. As Eric pointed out last night, the list
for all of us is growing way to quickly on teams that we hate and can’t
figure out. Texas, Iowa State, and Iowa
are approaching this segment.
- Will
the majority of the groups picks for the golf pool miss the cut? Yes +350/ No -400
- Will
we get a result of 6-1 or 7-0 on our daily college basketball parlay ticket? Yes +700/ No -1000.
- Will
there be a single bet placed at a casino outside of the Mirage? Yes+200/No -250
- Will Wiz over tip for bad service at a restaurant? Off the board
