Hey, why not keep going with it, until it stops working.
Perhaps you've discovered the holy grail? If you did, I'm quitting my day job, open an account with DK, play Galaxy's 10 team picks, and peruse the internet for good deals on a new Maserati. 😎

Sorry I don't know your first name. I've rarely posted from AI, but when I do, unless it's quite obvious, I always put "Pasted" at the top of the post.
You on the other hand often post AI material and pass it off as your own. You're not fooling anybody. But you seem to enjoy doing that, so have fun, and enjoy the forum.

You'll have to come with examples. I paste excerpts all the time. I've covered this, but I'm not referring to your posts of AI synopsis... I was referring to pasting 'AI generated fake news' from facebook. Which I get to respond to twice because you misinterpreted it wrong twice. It's like you understand the words but you can't get them all to make sense together. Wild.

An "interesting" thing about that bet is I'm surprised the bookie allowed ML wagering on it? And they offered an 11% return on it?
My view on these low percentage ML bets, is they could possibly be profitable. So far, my plays on them have been profitable. Although with the time involved in handicapping these games, I could make more money on the McDonalds night shift. LOL
For example, let's take a game offering a 10% return on a ML bet. The bottom line is you gotta hit 11 out of 10 of these just to break even. If you cannot hit at least around 12 outa 10, you can't make money on it.
Now back to the SC game. I realize this won't make Galaxy feel any better, and that's not the intent because nothing will after a bad beat such as that. I forget the exact post of his after the game, but I think he stated he had read something like in this situation, no team has ever come back from this sort of deficit. Was it around 230 times? Presuming that is true, it would make a 10% return on a bet that hits 230 out of 231 times, one of the best bets in history. Sadly that particular bet was that one time.
Sort of like pocket aces getting cracked heads up by 2,7os. It's nice to get the money in with pocket aces in that situation, and the odds on the SC bet were much better than this. But as we know, pocket aces sometimes get cracked by a much inferior hand. I watched recently on a Youtube video, I think it was from Hustler, some loose cannon whale went all-in with 4,8os in a huge pot. Everyone else folded except of course for the pocket aces. Well the loose cannon gets a 4 on the turn, and spikes a 4 on the river to crack the aces. As Doyle once said, paraphrase, it's not about winning or losing, it's about making the right decisions.
As we know, sometimes a "right decision" doesn't work out. Whether it be poker, sports betting or any walk of life. Perhaps that's what keeps life interesting. There's an old Twilight Zone episode, about a guy who dies. He lived a criminal life, and winds up in heaven because in heaven he wins every bet, every time he plays pool at the break all 15 number balls go in the pockets, he gets every pretty girl, etc. He wins at everything and gets everything. Well he becomes bored chitless, he can't take it any longer, and so he asks St Peter to transfer him to hell. St Peter replies, What makes you think you're not there already?

Love the Twilight Zones!!
"A nice place to visit" is the name of that episode, it's a great watch!
Just watched it. I thought there was a pool shooting scene, and some other scenes. Doesn't matter, the main point of the episode is there.
Truly a classic.
Okay maybe not for eternity, but a few days or weeks I wouldn't mind. LOL
