Hows the weather betting going?
First few days it was great as the books were setting lines way off from forecasts. But they've adjusted and the lines have been pretty accurate last couple days. I'm still betting them, mostly targeting lines that look 50/50 but getting small plus odds. I think im slightly in the black but nothing to write home about. I'm mostly doing it for the degen action. Seems a lot of books are focusing on simulated sports, e.g. madden nfl and nba 2k. I just cant get myself into betting that shit.

I've been betting on the totals for Trump/Pence daily briefings and I bet on 2k basketball one time as well. And I played blackjack again... it turned our alright tho. I'm fucking killing it on duolingo rn tho. No tocan tus caras! Sorry about your daughter, @punisherind , she must be pretty bummed. If I were you I'd get alcohol but one more drink and I'd be an alcoholic, so that's just me.

She didnt seem too upset about not having to study words anymore lol. Thanks tho, all good, she's only in 5th grade so shes got a couple more years to get on espn!

Man, i had this $100 bottle of rum that i was saving for a special occasion, but i had to crack it open bc only other shit i have left is like bacardi and titos vodka. Which is fine for mixed drinks but i dont have any mixers in stock lol. This rum is tasty as fuck though. Been sipping it real slow but its gonna be finished tonight me thinks. Gonna have a dilemma...

Lol true, all that studying and she'd probably still end up in a 225 way tie for first place, anyway.

That rum sounds delicious. I remember the first time I had expensive whiskey and to my blue collar grandparents, somebody gave them some a bottle of the expensive shit. I was like 15, we all cheers'd and I shot it like had done before. (They used to let me have beers and shit). I get done and I look at my grandpa and aunt and uncle and I'm like "why didn't you guys shoot it?" They were like you gotta sip the good stuff. The good stuff for my cheap blue collar grandparents was Crown Royal..... lol.

Hehe funny story. My folks are religious and didnt drink when i was young (but they do drink wine in their older age). I considered crown royal to be the good shit also haha. Didnt know any better.

So i caved in and made a liquor run today lol. Made sure to distance myself. Stocked up so hopefully i dont have to get more anytime soon.

Grabaka and I were live betting on a MMA E fight back in the day. It was alot of fun. The only reason i didnt continue was because the stream was super choppy.

More by luck than anything else but i am up about 9k (paper win) in Corona share trading so far.

I have been cut back from 5 days a week to 4 days a week and my missus ( Gaming Attendant ) lost her job a couple of weeks ago.

Plenty of savings here so i am in no immediate trouble but the prospect of our entire company going under is very real. Having worked here for 20 years that is a real head fuck.

sorry to hear man. This is some stuff that's been unheard of. I hope you and all the guys on here end up bouncing back in a few months, or as soon as it permits. Sorry about Mrs. Will, I feel for her and the Will fam in general. Might sound gay but I'm putting out positive vibes to everybody who's dealing with this shit and look forward to a time where we can all look back at this shit and maybe smile b/c it's finally behind us. It's still gonna be a tough go, let's get thru this shit and fuck it in the ass when we're done. Hope all of us get thru this intact and ready to go on like normal when it's over. It will end at some point. Sorry for all the bullshit, we will win tho. BE safe guys.

Almost all film & video production of every type has been on hold for weeks now . And almost all fights are also on hiatus, so my two main sources of income have gone to near zero. Could be some good opportunities in mainstream with outlets hungry for new content when this is over though. I've been mostly staying home and watching endless tv, movies, documentaries, podcasts and recent fight cards I missed from the regional and international scenes.

I've been betting on horses pretty hardcore for 3 weeks now. So I've decided, once this shit clears up I have to take the family to the track. Ive actually never been.

@JimGunn you ever been to the tracks in florida? Bunch of options. I'm thinking either gulfstream park or tampa bay downs.

Never been. My grandfather used to play small stakes at the local OTB (off track betting) years ago when we lived in New York state. But I never got into it even since I started gambling.

i remember walking past the OTBs in new york in my younger days. it's nice we have so many online options now and don't have to go to a brick and mortar shop.

In Australia they have “ladies day” at the horses and a few other special days where everyone gets dressed up in a suit and makes a day of it.

if you do take your kids get them some binoculars. Will help keep their attention.

how old are your kids?

Turning 11 and 9 this year. Unfortunately neither is into any sports whatsoever. They've basically tolerated my efforts to take them to events because they know they'll get to eat junk.

My son is 9. He would play xbox all day if i let him ( and lately i have been ). He will play it for 9 hrs straight and i tell him to go have a shower which will take 15 mins and he sighs and huffs a bit.

Its a bit of a worry.

I force him to watch the main event of every ufc and he is usually doing handstands or sitting on the sit upside down (i.e his feet where his head should be and his head where his feet should be).
I figure this is a battle of attrition, who gives in first. Me, telling him not to worry about it. Or him, becoming interested, sitting and acting like a human.

I'm dealing with the exact same thing with my son (he's 8, turning 9). All he wants to do is play nintendo switch all day long. He must be logging in a good 6+ hours these days.
