I thought I was the one with the gambling problem!

the capital markets and wall street as a whole gamble for a living.

we've learned that early on in our careers that you HAVE to have an opinion on everything...and your opinion better be researched because you may get called out on it....just the nature of my work i guess.

How much research went into that Mets/Rays/Yanks bet?

^^^ still early fucko.

^^^^i'm not willing to give you any additional runs. if you do not think that it is a good bet to put your mets line up against the marlins then you shouldn't make the bet.

forget the dollar difference bet, i don't like that. how about this; if the marlins have more home runs between now and when i fly to ny on may 15, you pick up the bar tab shall we meet at a drinking establishment. however, if the mets hit more homers, then i will pick up the tab. if there is a tie, we each buy the other a round of their choice.

HEY RAD! you in?

urapnes · Post by **urapnes** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:05 pm

rad - i'll give you 3.5 runs. competition starts at start of play tomorrow, 4/15 and ends at end of play 5/15.

bet is one drink of winner's choice. the one buying must drink the same thing.

^^^testy testy! i was thinking more along the lines of a beer or standard rum/whiskey drink. (mt gay, meyers, crown, etc.)

radbag · Post by **radbag** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:16 am

you're on at 5.5 then.

TTBHG · Post by **TTBHG** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:57 am

Yanks got 4 more last night. Rays got 3 more. This could get really expensive.

Rad, I will let you out of our bet for a $40 donation to the charity of your choice.

eventhough it's against my best judgement, i'll take that bet.

i have marlins -5.5 over mets starting today thru end of play may 15.

bet is one drink of winner's choice if we shall meet in manhattan may 16 or that weekend. loser pays and has same drink.
