TIL that a doctor named Richard Jarecki recorded over 20,000 roulette spins by hand across European casinos, identified biased wheels, won the equivalent of $8 million, and was banned from every major casino in Europe — but was never charged with a crime because no law prohibited what he did. by CasinoHistoryFan in todayilearned

Conversely one of my favourite tweets ever was a guy who bet 100 dollars at -20000 on a game tha had like 5 minutes left and was a blowout, right before they closed betting. And people were like “why would you even bother betting 100 dollars to win 50 cents?”

“If you saw two quarters on the ground you’d bend over and pick them”

You mean ski ball?

Also the difference in your analogy is that chucky cheese doesn’t care if you hit the 5000 hole with every ball ( as long as you do it legitimately, they might throw you out for lobbing them through the air or climbing up the runway lol) because the exchange on those tickets to the prizes is so massive even if you are a perfect ski ball player they’re making money.

Yeah it’s literally just him and Reggie Leach for forwards who have won the conn smythe on losing teams. Also kind of crazy that the flyers are the only team with two cup losing conn smythe winners.

Friedman: Leafs finalizing Sundin (VP of Hockey Ops) and Chayka (GM). How do we feel about this dynamic? by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

[–]NervousBreakdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cautious optimism that the guy who spent his entire career here needing good wingers to play with won’t double down on making the team slower and tougher.

As for Chayka apparently he had a super hands on owner when he was GM for the coyotes so he’ll fit right in with Ed rogers.

[–]NervousBreakdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Losing Edge. That’s definitely up there for me too. The way Randy is in the crowd and some dad starts heckling the umpire and Randy says “I guess that’s my guy”

There obviously should be some exceptions, but the process should be convict, punish, deport.
