    Hi guys - I’m about to embark on a new business project. Which will require a lot of time, energy, and focus to get it off the ground. I must be a glutton for punishment because I already have a successful business, and about to begin another one.

    So for now, I’m going to put on hold, most if not all of my internet posting activity.

    Best of luck to everyone, and I plan on being back, perhaps for this upcoming football season, or maybe not until around the 2027 football season, depending on how this venture goes.

    stevek

    Make sure you check in from time to time to let us know how your doing Steve

    PS. If it's a new gambling site make sure you give us good discount codes!! Lol

    Best of luck !!

    If this new business project goes as hoped, I might have enough money to start my own gambling website. Compete with DK and FD. 😂

    If that happens, I promise to tell the girls in the office if a Perkdog, Galaxy, or BLUEJAYWAY opens up an account, offer them a 100% profit boost on every bet they make. 😉

    Glad to see Fitzpatrick win today after his tough treatment from the fans last week. Brooks survived for me/galaxy27. Also my Conners play came in. Hisatune was even but came up short. Hovland, the defending champ of this event last year,threw out the anchor early missing the cut. Probably won or lost a few pesos. Could of been worse or better too.
    One week closer to The Masters.

    he didn't come through for me, unfortunately. just the opposite, actually. he played a terrible back nine today -- +1 and missed 5 putts of 15 feet or shorter. all i needed was one of those to go down for a clean win. he ended up tied for 18th with 7 other golfers -- yes, the dreaded dead heat. i ended up getting 106$ back, for a net loss of 14$.

    congrats on Conners and Koepka (especially if the dead heat didn't apply to you)

    I had a $5 bet on Brooks for top 20 and got $5 back. A push. Got the full $11.50 for $5 on Conners. Net loss of $3.50 as my other 2 $5 bets tanked.

    I think in that Florida game, the opponent hit a three with just a few seconds left in the game. Losing a fat parlay like that is one of the sickest beats I've ever seen.

    Ditto, especially because, in my opinion, Paul is the most liked by far, poster on this CU forum.

    Might be a few coin guys equally liked, but I don't post or read there that much to know one way or the other.

    i wanted to try and run Scheffler down, but he pulled out due to baby #2 on the verge of making an entrance into this world. i'm going to try and get Adam Scott and Danny Willett on Masters badges instead. will be mainly spectating.

    best of luck with your 20s

    Don't think anything was going to help my picks. 4 of my 5 missed the cut. Worse picks in quite awhile. I had considered Woodland and M.Thorbjorsen but tossed them for Tosti and Gerard.

    For sure. If you have to lose a bet this was the way to go. I only wish I had stuck to my original bet choices. I never got out of the bunkers.

    Sunday looked promising for me until it didn't. needed a strong round from Finau for a nice score and didn't get it, and Jake Knapp went scorched earth (62) to tie Gotterup for a push.

    Valero next, then it happens

    Looking forward big time to the first major. Block out the time frame for the 4 days of coverage. Was reading today an article on line by CBS on how they intend to address the Tiger news issue. Very delicately I presume. The Tiger story gives the CBS coverage an added must see angle.

    make sure you enter the lottery on June 1 (via the Masters website)

    long odds -- it's about a 1 in 200 shot, but it's definitely worth a try

    Has to frost you when this happens. Figures. Right on cue,one week later Tony grabs first place. Funny how that happens. For myself I usually follow up the following week on the previous week bet loss. Hit a few that way being one week early the previous week. Timing.

    I'm predicting Galaxy puts a nice hurting on the book. At least I hope so.

    I'm holding off until football season, when my new project is at least off the ground. No handicapping time available. Just a few quick posts.

    So for now, I'll have to live vicariously thru other people's wagering. 😉
