      carseller4 is like a slave with a day-pass...he has a master, but he doesn't really have a curfew.

        this is why i can't understand why peope would get into these large loans just to make a bet. sure, if that bet wins you're off..

        but if it loses, and you're going to be doing the right thing, it CAN'T be very exciting making one post in the saloon and then insta-transferring your 13 or whatever.

        now, if you were a couple hundred away from some book cash or freeplay, okay i get it.

        but just because you got a 4-team lock, ughhhh.

            You have a point, and did you know that every person alive has ancestors who were slaves? I am however doing the right thing and paying my debt. When you are punished you are punished, you have to just hope for better times down the road.

              Your master is not the person you owe points too.

              Your master is whatever drove you to risk something that you could not afford to lose.

              Best of luck in the future.

                Yes you are doing the right thing in paying off your debt.

                You can not buy class.You have it.

                Many here do not.

                  No one put a gun to your stupid head and ask you to take a huge loan with a loan shark.

                  I have never borrowed a single point and have cashed out close to 20,000 points.

                    Pavy the loan I took out is equal to about 20-30 dollars. I am paying back about 35 dollars. I have cashed out $500 worth of points. So in my point lifetime I am up $500.

                    Just venting that's all.

                        Paver I would love to borrow 400 points and let it all ride on a lock, but I feel as though I would be doing you wrong buddy. It would take me many months to pay off the debt if I lost. Thanks a million though. You really do seem like a guy who cares

                                  By the way, for those that feel sorry for me I am taking donations to get out of debt to my slave master. Thanks gusy. Until then I will wait until 12am for it to credit me with 12 points and make my daily tole.

                                      Wileout when you pay off your loan follow this strategy. Use your daily 12 points on a two team parlay. No ML's. Bet over/under or spreads. When you hit you will have close to 50 points. Then keep doing this every day with the 12 points. If you hit 4 out of 7 parlays for the week you will have 200 points. Also always cash out on 2nd question for trivia for another 50 points per try. Never visit the casino. Then you will be debt free for the rest of your life here.

                                        paver thanks for the advice but if I could hit 4 out of every 7 (2 team parlays) I would own all the sportsbooks at the top of this page and pokerstarts and full tilt. Eventually I would be able to buy China.

                                        But I think your point is that the optimal strategy is to use the free 12 points to play 2 team parlays?

                                          Yes. People take the 12 points and make a 6 team parlay every day thinking they will win 500 points at once and end up losing 500 points in a month trying to.

                                          I think if you cap the NBA, MLB or NHL out of 30 games a night you will find 2 good plays.

                                                        We need Adrian Peterson's opinion so we can know if it's modern day slavery.

                                                          Very close to being equivalent to slavery, in my opinion, absolutely~!

                                                            Who cares about being in debt SBR points. I regularly bury myself....borrow from Thad......pay back Thad......go on my way......bury myself again......borrow again.

                                                            Revolving debt built this country.

                                                            Sbr points are great. Where else can I lose 15 hands of blackjack in a row or have a 2-13 night in the book and feel no pain. I feel like the people who trade in their food stamps or welfare credits for scratch tickets and cigarettes at the local bodega; however, losing my SBR points doesn't take food out of my fridge. SBR points. Better than government cheese!

                                                              I borrow from the rich and then distribute to the poor at the poker tables. I'm like a modern day robin hood.
