OmgUrMom · 08-19-10, 11:34 PM

rm18 · 08-19-10, 11:35 PM

JW Cash · 08-19-10, 11:35 PM

if there was a guarantee....

THE PROFIT · 08-19-10, 11:36 PM

JJ, get fukin real!

DrStale · 08-19-10, 11:37 PM

How much? I have a wobbly end table.

JohnGalt2341 · 08-19-10, 11:37 PM

How many SBR points would it cost me?

THE PROFIT · 08-19-10, 11:37 PM

Brock needs to read "How to Win Friends & Influence People" so he can quit trying to invite everyone from an internet forum to go places with him

shari91 · 08-19-10, 11:40 PM

Before today I would've said yes. I like to read and I like Brock.

However, after seeing him explain to a fellow poster that his Rubberband play today had a 73% chance of winning because his 'record' is 73%, well... I'm not sure if his handicapping methods are too sound. Using that logic, then Federer and Nadal both have a 20% chance of winning their next matches since I've been only getting 2 plays right out of 10 during the past 2 days. I don't think this would quite be ThinkTank material.

If he wrote a biographical type book, an HONEST one, then I would gladly pay a few SBR points for that.

THE PROFIT · 08-19-10, 11:43 PM

Ive noticed him say that in the past Shari! I feel for the chap sometimes

jjgold · 08-19-10, 11:44 PM

He does come up with some good stuff

I know he lost $90,000 and had to ask family for it but other than that I would buy if under $15

THE PROFIT · 08-19-10, 11:45 PM

Goddamnit Brock!!! I haven't shaved in a couple days & I really DO look like Brett Favre

That is a great book indeed. The best thing I learned from that book is to just to "pretend" to agree with people even though you know that they are wrong. Before I read that book I was the most argumentative person that you've ever met. Now, after reading that book... I'm probably only the 2nd or 3rd most argumentative person you've ever met.

thechaoz · 08-20-10, 12:32 AM

No, but the life story I'd snap pick up.

tanner40 · 08-20-10, 01:13 AM

Sure Brock is a good guy. Everyone here acts like they are above gambling problems

exactly. I used to tell people they were fukin stupid then uppercut them in the taint. Now I just tell them they're fukin stupid. It has made a tremendous difference in my life

jjgold · 08-20-10, 05:13 AM

Profit since I am a nice guy when Brock writes his book I will buy you a copy.

Brock Landers · 08-20-10, 09:11 AM

WTF is this? LOL

pavyracer · 08-20-10, 09:13 AM

You can buy it as long as it is classified as a comedy book and not a handicapper's book.

Thats all part of it, it actually is an art and will be in the book on how he pulled it off.

Skip the book and go right to a movie ... The degen gambler who goes broke, becomes a pizza delivery boy, and takes his Rubber band plays all the way to the top of Vegas.

Nicky Santoro · 08-20-10, 12:18 PM

i would buy it in a heartbeat. i'd pay up to 500$ for it too.. brock landers is a professional gambler.

Brock Landers · 08-20-10, 12:21 PM

Chapter 1 would be titled "How to Get Your Bankroll"

And it would start off a little something like this....

"Obviously, you need to get some cash to start gambling, but I got that shit figured out. First, here's you gotta do. Open up a Bank of America account. Once you get your ATM card, make sure you go to one of the older ATMs that take deposits. Ya know, the ones that don't actually read the check. You need an older one, where you just put the check/cash in the envelope, and deposit it. Put in a check that you know is going to bounce. Hell, leave the envelope empty if you want. The ATM will let you withdraw up to $100 from this. Take that $100, and go to your local bookie, to make your bet. When you win that bet, deposit $100 of your winnings into your account, to take care of the fake deposit that you made."

who is brock landers? is he still doing mlb?

big joe 1212 · 08-20-10, 12:59 PM

I'd rather buy a book that he wrote about scams.

I was thinking about that. It'd definitely be interesting. From Credit Wagering to Credit Unions he'd have it covered. Throw in Axel and anchovies and he could write 2 books!

Brock Landers · 08-20-10, 01:06 PM

The title is "Beg, Borrow, and steal. Always stay in Action"
