    Take care everyone and Happy Holidays!! All good things.............

    I have run my course here and in the sports and wagering posting community. It has been a skit. Been posting here and there for 10+ years. A lot of laughs, memories and burials along the way.

    The last two stops in my posting career, here and at Covers have been the most entertaining but at the same time their evolution over the years saddens me. There are no advocates anymore. Just business. I am certainly no one to judge anyone's affairs, or how they earn their tidings but the events of the last few years at these sites are an eye opener to say the least.

    Back in the day before all of this internet gaming, you lived on your word in this business or you got the fukk out of town, if you still could. A little neighborhood justice, of which I was quite fond, was all it took to get paid either way. My circles were pretty fukkin tight and tougher than fukin nails. When we got beat we paid. If you owed me, you fukkin paid. I was the pinnacle sports of my cut, never fukkin stiffed a winner and never let a loser walk. Pride, reputation, a little street and a fukkin lightning left were all the resources you needed. All it took was a fukkin chair at the lounge and a notebook. I didn't even write in the fukkin thing half the time. The damn mushes would tell me what they owed and I knew who the razors were to a penny.

    There is no neighborhood left in this game and certainly no justice. We all have just witnessed or god forbid experienced what will become the norm over the next short period. I bid you all use extreme caution. I can assure you that my resume qualifies me to make that statement. Maybe from the ground looking up but it all starts and ends on the fukkin street folks. The car plants, the cop shop, the lawyers office, the social clubs......that is where the money comes from. If it can't get back and forth from there to the book, you wind up with what you now see. Don't ever think otherwise.

    I guess I am just tired of it all. At the end of the line in my day and in today's world there is just a lot of sadness. This shit will eat you fast if you lose and fukkin gnaw at you in the best of times. Constant pressure in any end of it. The highs are too high and the lows are bottomless. On either side of the window that pressure never goes away. I would give back all the stack I made just to say I never did it. I bet all of you, the fifty dollar guys. the whales (no not you Haines you're just fukkin fat), the books, the banks and even good old Walker here have all had that thought at one time in this.

    Anyway, take fukkin care of yourselves folks, don't let this shit get you. Up or down. Heads up and be safe. Thanks for everything over the years.

    Happy Holiday and all the best.

    PS.

    Opie, you wanna go?

    Very sharp billy!

    I've said it before I'll say it again, for Americans you need to live in one of three places. Vegas, Australia or the UK. It's a career move that's all, you can still be a proud American abroad lol.

    Never fukkin heard of you pal.

    Saloon this shit.


    JK , merry christmas Billy.
    i hope things turn around for you. Sounds like u lost some money at bet islands, shake it off man, just pretend u went all in on a game and lost.

    You gotta be careful where you put your money and where you play man. But its all a risk...

    Why do u think they make those fukkin tickets so small at the sportsbooks in vegas????

    Its not to save paper buddy... They hope that you lose them.

    Keep ya head up man. I'll PM you next time I have a big play.

    I am a spot bettor man so i dont fukk with a game unless i'm 90% sure its a winner.

    Dont ask me how i get these plays man they just come to me.

    Things will turn for ya playa just be calm.

    Extraordinarily well said, pal. I don't imagine one could put it any better than you just did. While knowing I will miss your presence here, I can't blame you for leaving one bit.

    I wish nothing but the best for you and Mrs.Sink, pal. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. You are indeed one of the good ones.

    It figures.

    Someone as smart and and a solid contributor like Billy Sink leave, and EmilyHaines and Pauly are like Herpes. You can't get rid of those two.

    Read Sink's post again. You don't see any differences between Sink and those three goofballs?

    best wishes billy, you were certainly one of the good ones and will be missed

    time might make you less sad about how everything has played out, things change and we can either cry about it, adapt, or do something else with our lives.

    personally i'm in a very weird place, i can't quit drinking AND gambling...

    Do we have to listen to these whining pricks every fukin thread if your gonna leave GTO shut your pie hole
    and go. Most of these fags want some one to cry over them going or about the stupid move they made getting suked in by a sub par book with unrealistic bonuses.
    Just GTO now
