You can start an open-# leg parlay and close whenever? Thought you had to pick the number when you start it.
I wasn't talking about an official white-bread parlay...i was talkin' about doing things the hi-touch, hi-flexibility, (what most people would call "inconvenient", lol) way...a "roll your own" parlay, if you likeYou can start an open-# leg parlay and close whenever?

start anytime/anywhere, add to it anytime/anywhere, end it anytime...
it's just a selection of non-overlapping plays where you, yourself decide to risk the original-stake plus all the accrued-earnings to that point
...it's the low-tech...old-fashioned...manual way of actually parlaying (or, in casino-game terms "paroli-betting")...or "all-in"ing everything available from the previously made (from bets won or at-least pushed...cuz if it's lost this snowballed sequence is done) bets...
it's a great way to play the hi-priced faves that have value but are two expensive (like the typical JonJones bet...)...but you don't have to lock into anything as with an official parlay...just put on the first play "as if" it were the first of a set parlay and with a similar small stake like 1 unit...the pennington play here only pays (IF successful) 0.36 units...but that means, i can keep my "manual parlay" going into the next leg with a bet for 1.36units...at any time if it loses, i'm only out my original stake of 1u...cuz everything else accrued was winnings ("snow" accumulated on my original 1-unit ball)...
doing it this way, i'm free to shop for best lines or end the series at any time (something you are NOT free to do with any open-spot parlay)...
the only time i'll ever put on an official parlay is if the games over-lap time wise...sometimes i'll do legA (single), sometym later add legB (another single), then there're two events overlapping in time that i can't shop-for/submit sequentially...so i'll take everything accrued so far and put on an official parlay (again shopping around for the best book to do it at first) for legsC&D...which if it wins, i'm once again free to either end or scout out a nice E-leg...

Manuals. Yeah.
I would consider it an incredible film, but it depends on what you're looking for. It's an incredible character drama with some of the best acting you'll ever see and some amazing dialogue. It's not an exciting film, but it's a very, very touching one that provokes legitimate emotion in the non-cheesiest way possible, just through expert writing and film making. I'd recommend it highly if that appeals to you.
It is a terrific film, goes places you don't expect it to.
Michael Haneke is an amazing director. His films cover all sorts of ideas. Hard to believe sometimes that he's the same guy who directed Funny Games, which has the best usage of breaking the 4th wall, since perhaps the 1980s run of She-Hulk. Cache' is a terrific thriller than never really gives anything away. We saw it with another couple, and they didn't even spot the 'ending' of the film.
don't see any serious auto-racing teams going in for automatic transmission now, do we?Manuals. Yeah.
manual doesn't just mean inconvenience...it means control over each and every part of the operation, in this case = getting the best price on each and every leg you want to bet on...and the control to always be in a position to "say when" you've accrued enough profit...to avoid the common heartache of people whining about how they lost their monster sized parlay on "the very last play...sniff, sniff, sob"...when you roll--and roll along with--your own, each and every step of the way...you get to choose after each and every win (=each disaster-averting step) if you want to "keep going", or not, or even to keep going but at reduced stakes (such as to spin off a brand new RYOParlay at 1u...essentially pocketing all the profit to that point)
so..."Manual....hell Yeah!"

No prob man, thanks for reading. I've been on a bad run lately so perhaps negative-kudos are in order, but hopefully we'll have a good night tonight.

Caché has been on my watch list for quite some time, I never got around to it, though. I'll probably watch it some time soon. What struck me the most about Amour is how beautifully legitimate it all felt. It felt like I was spying on two people.It is a terrific film, goes places you don't expect it to.

I want to watch Dead Poet's Society next, it's a film that's always interested me.
Also, my twitter plays, off the top of my head, for tonight are: Duke -170, Maynard by decision, Pennington, and Holdsworth by decision.
I'm waiting for movement on a couple of lines before locking in bets. I really liked Niinimaki at +120 but I got greedy and waited for it to go up.
Are you saying that you have never watched DPS yet? It is a fantastic movie. "Good Will Hunting" is another worth checking out. Now that I think about it. If you like dark avant-garde movies then "Naked" is a must see. "Cosmopolis" left me with a buzz for days.No prob man, thanks for reading. I've been on a bad run lately so perhaps negative-kudos are in order, but hopefully we'll have a good night tonight. Don't f-ck me, Pennington.

Dead Poets Society is treacle, the exact opposite of Amour.
I enjoyed Cosmopolis, but can't imagine most people would. It's certainly one of Cronenberg's worst films, and the pacing is excruciatingly slow. I mainly saw it because I enjoy watching people get upset when they accidentally see art films featuring their favorite stars.
Two favorites, Dogville, every single person in the theatre walked out except for us, and the Fountain, where at the end of it, a great big fat woman said, "I never thought Hugh Jackman would make a bad movie." In, what is clearly the only decent film of his career.
Can't recommend The Fountain enough, loved it.
Reposting these from the event thread:
No idea how Niinimaki gave away R3, but it cashed, so whatever.Cheers guys. I have Niinimaki here, I 'capped him at -150, but I'm not confident in my read. I've never seen him against an aggressive wrestler. He's extremely talented, though, and should have a big edge on the feet, and he should be able to hang out on top of Yahya if he chooses to.
I have Rosholt by decision at +440 and some other odds here. Love it, should be closer to +150ish.
Nope.Duke is the squarest play of eternity.
Size: Morgan
Striking: Morgan
Duke has okay jiujitsu but she's not a strong wrestler, and probably can't take morgan down.
Duke cashes with a couple of scares. I can't even believe she gave up her back like that. Seems like the night of the retards tonight, with Pennington, Duke, and Blanco all fighting like idiots. Morgan's face is disgusting.
Great job man!
Take Mr. MD out to celebrate
No doubt. Wait til you see her after the fight.Morgan's face is disgusting.
