    not busting balls, but define 'a lot'. depending on how old you are, where you are in your career, single or family, this could vary greatly.

    I'm 24 and single. It's a lot of money for my age I think. I'll say it's enough that I could afford to pay for my own law school and living expenses for 3 years and not go into debt but im lucky my parents are helping entirely.

    that sounds like a tidy sum.

    so that amount is 100% savings/spending/gambling money that can only grow since it won't get used during law school - i.e. tuition, room & board are 100% covered by your folks?

    Yep. I can do whatever I want with it but I'm not stupid. I majored in finance and most of it is sitting in pretty safe investments.

    I'm sitting here in SoCal and our local network is showing Oregon versus Colorado. No Trojan game and no bRuins game. Ridiculous.

    The sad thing is I really wanted to put San Diego in this parlay. Woulda made the payout like 11000 instead of 7 but didn't have the guts. Figured San Diego would complete the 3-0 sweep of pepperdine.

    fair enough. i have a pretty good idea of what this saved amount must be and you're only 24, so that's impressive.

    mind breaking out your total savings by category... ?

    % working wages earned over time
    % gaming earnings over time
    % gifts and inheritance (if applicable) over time

    Sure I'll say 25 percent or so came directly from UT, 25 percent from every pay check I've received since I was 16 pretty much going into my savings, 25 percent from grand parents, parents, etc... My parents gave me 1000 for Christmas and 1000 for my birthday for example and then the other 25 percent I will say investment gains and gambling. I was looking through my Ameritrade account actually and calculated that I've made like 8,000 off IBM since I opened that account in 2001 and had my parents co-sign it

    I can't tell if you are sarcastic. Ohio is the better team but they were better than kent state too and still shit the bed and got down 18 before they decided they wanted to try. I'm not sure I could bet on them again lol

    I was leaning hard towards this parlay last night truthfully but I appreciate you recommending so it at least eased my slight remaining doubts.

    Ill consider it but on first glance it looks like one of those bets that goes against all common logic. Miami Ohio lost by 4 at Ohio and is getting 4.5 at home? They also only lost by 5 at home vs Akron and won by 2 at home vs kent state. If an unfocused Ohio team shows up they lose and I don't trust this team.
