TRP: Booty Traps Edition

Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

Grammar nerd question: Normally an apostrophe is used to make a word possessive or to forma contraction, not to make a word plural. So why does "its", which is a possessive, not get an apostrophe?

Stab in the dark here:

Rather than making it "it's'" with two apostrophes indicating the possessive you're looking for, removing the apostrophe would make it easier on everyone.
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

So, while in Vegas, I saw Tom Jones. Up close. As in the front row. Our table was literally next to the stage. He sweated on me. It was pretty awesome. And no, I did not throw panties at him, though a few women did. And he did not go near them. :)

They had a strict no photos policy, but I snuck my camera in and managed to get this picture (at end, while entire crowd was standing and hiding me):

I almost handed him my camera to ask him to take a picture of me and my mom and aunt. :)
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

You didn't throw your panties, but I bet you waved your room key at him. :D

Chicken!! :p
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

If you were that smart, you would've wagered more than a penny on it.

Oh, and since St. Louis won, my parlay paid off as well, so you'll probably get more bonus money. :rolleyes:

Naw. Baseball isn't my strong sport for wagering.

And yep, I did. I think it was around 1/2 a cent. :D

I put a nickel on Det tomorrow, though. Porcello v Tomko, at -145 with a 50% bonus.

Parlays, I will always bet little to win big. Other bets I'll bet big to win the dough; of course, on the site we're on, it is all relative. I'm practicing bankroll management. :D
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

Hopefully I'll be over $1 on there after the next round of betting.

With how many bets you make? Wouldn't surprise me. :p

I'm starting to get back into the swing of things since I last was involved in sports betting. Certain trends, cliches, etc.

Personally, I can't wait until the college hockey season starts. That will be fun to bet on. :D

And right now? I'd say my two trends/cliches I'm looking at are:

1. Never bet for or against the AZ Cardinals. They are worse than Mike Shanahan on screwing your predictions.

2. Bet the Lions to cover. They're always bad, but they seem to always be close on many a game. IIRC last year, in the game MN beat them 20-16, MN was favored by double digits. :eek: I overheard a gas station employee wondering how to bet, and I stated, "Bet the house and then some on the Lions covering."

Another thing I'll be looking at is to bet heavy against the Browns straight up. That team is in such disarray right now that it's sick. They could end up with 1 win very easily.
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

I'll just bet the NFL as "best record wins unless records equal, then home team wins" with few exceptions. It was right 2/3 of the time last season. :p

Bo. Ring.

And how vague can you make that? What are the few exceptions? What qualifies as an exception? Huh, smart guy? :p

Edit: question, since it didn't show up on my screen....Did I "pay off the refs" when I won that 5-team? What did it say?
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

Well, since every team starts out at 0-0, I'm obviously not going to bet on all the home teams to win the first game given the fact that at least some of those teams are terrible.

And I don't know what it said on the betting site since I can't access it here at work obviously. :p

Like Cleveland. :p

I usually wait until about week 3 to really start betting, to let things "settle" as it were, and be able to judge the talent. It's like dating. First date, you get to know your date. Kinda find some strengths/weaknesses/etc. Second date, you start to get the quirks and such. Third date? You can probably guess some obvious tendencies/what s/he is gonna do in a certain situation. :D
 
Re: TRP: Booty Traps Edition

What good is it to have an assessment of what is going to happen on the first three dates with a woman when you don't date (honestly when's the last time you were on one? Last year?)? :p

This would be like if patman decided to come up with a planned response to a girl taking off her clothes in his presence. Sure, it's nice to have contingency plans in place, but in this case, we all know it is extremely unlikely to happen.

Or to put it another way:

Girl does not get naked for patman: -100,000,000,000,000
Girl gets naked for patman: +75,000,000,000,000
*note: strippers and prostitutes do not count for this bet - the situation must involve a legitimate dating experience / hook-up, and the girl cannot be paid off / bribed / illicitly coerced or drugged to achieve this outcome

Or I could go for some grandma that is so happy that a man asked her out that she'd put out for anyone. Like you, for example. You know, just in case you decided to go on a date of someone it that situation. For example. :p
