    Funny Story At **
    So I walk in to supermarket to send a ** transfer, as I have done hundreds of times before. They have a customer service center that is not actually **, but they will process the order for you. Now the machine allows you to swipe your debit card, instead of cash. So I did this except I used my credit card by accident instead.

    So now I am bugging out and afraid my bank is going to hit me with cash advance fees, which are 16% right after you send the money. I begged the clerk to cancel it but she said it had already processed. Fortunately the order was processed as a purchase, not a cash advance. So I thought I was in the clear until her manager comes over and says ** will not allow the receiver to pick up the money b/c I sent it using credit. So now I am fuked again.

    Right after I swipe my card there is a line of 8 people behind me, waiting to return random grocery products, fukkin tomato sauce, sponges, toilet paper. I had one 70 year old men yelling at me telling me to “hurry the fuk up, I have string beans boiling in the water at home”. One of them sounded like JJ . There was this kid a few years younger than me, maybe 19 or 20, we will call him SAM. So Sam is in a hurry and I overheard him ask the other clerk if he could send $80 to his long-distance friend in Lima, Peru. At this point I start laughing to myself. I walked up to him when no one was paying attention and started up a conversation.

    me: ur fukin gambling, aren’t you?
    Sam: umm... no?
    me: bullshit, you don’t have any friends in Peru, what do you bet, sports or poker?
    Sam: alright it’s for a sportsbook, I have to get this money in so I can go home and pound the padres game which starts in an hour. By the way, I hit 62% of my plays.
    Sam: do you post at any forums, like Covers?
    Me: no I just post on SBR FORUM
    Sam: oh really, whats your username?
    Me: Why, u want to stalk me? What’s your username? I was just posting on there like an hour ago.
    Sam: oh no I don’t have an account there, I just lurk.


    So thankfully the clerk was competent, and she was able to refund the purchase to my credit card. Then I re did the whole money order a 2nd time using my debit card. The whole purchase/refund/purchase debacle took like 15 minutes. She had to call the manager over b/c she was worrying about following supermarket protocol. Ridiculous. So I exchanged numbers with Sam and told him to keep in touch. As I am driving home he keeps texting me telling me to bet the padres, telling me it’s a lock, mat latos is a beast, etc. At this point I am feeling even more confident about my nationals play.


    Anyway, the padres ended up beating the nationals that night.
    http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxsco...gton-nationals.

    I felt like a douche bag b/c I loved the nationals ML +150 that night, and I played it and I lost. I thought it was the strongest play on the board too.
    by the way i still talk to Sam and hes been texting me his plays and guy is like 7-2 over 3 days. he plays mostly chalk and heavy favorites on the RL but guy has been hitting.

                      Good read.

                      I love hearing guys at the ** saying "Managua, Nicaragua".

                      I automatically start laughing also.

                        not sure the number of transactions...but the AMOUNT back and forth was well over 100 dimes in a year.

                            has anyone successfully used their credit card to send money thru **? I am curious to see if the sportsbook would have been able to pick up the funds had the clerk not refunded my credit card transaction.

                                    i live in costa rica, so i wouldn't foresee anybody asking me questions if i sent a wire to jose mario rodriguez sanchez, in whatever country

                                    but i still prefer to fund books via wire transfer
