So the whole time, the guy was a shark, playing things to a tee, just so he could make this one big score. Brilliant, and he fooled everyone else on here too.

Tough beat RHT, sorry to see it ended this way. I think you are right, he just got lucky.

He'll get destroyed betting baseball, too. Take the hit this week and count the profits in the future.

Take this advice. You will get your money back. Anyone who chases losses with reverses is a sure loser. Stay with him. GL KP

Joseph did you ever think about laying part of the bet off?

you can fool some of the people some of the time , but , you can't fool all the people all the time

you should have told him that your guy has a limit per game

It was more of your opinion. You loved Duke so you took the whole thing. If he liked Duke, you would have probably put a cap on him. I told you last week when you wanted to talk him out of games, you can't afford to have an opinion. Last week it would have cost you and this week it put you out of buisness.
