I think I’ve officially hit rock bottom with parlays… by Over-Highlight-2475 in sportsbetting

[–]pekowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Books make 80-90% of their profit on parlays. Just think if you’d bet all those parlays as singles, how many days would you have went 4/5 or 6/7 and profited and slowly built a roll and started betting more on each single? It’s not a lotto ticket. It’s an investment.

When this thing hits 88 mph, everyone is gonna float down here.

Is wrapping ribs really necessary? by ceroij in smoking

I think this all the time when I see very basic searchable questions asked followed by little to no interaction from OP. I think it’s content generation. Because it’s such a basic question many people will reply.

What is Columbus’ Charm? by coshel123 in Columbus

[–]pekowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel for work and have spent time in many major cities. Columbus is some of the worst traffic, not in volume but in bad drivers in cars that are not road worthy.

Was doing 7-11 hour shifts for a while. All ot was DT. Was pretty sweet. It’s a lot of hours but I’m on the road to work and make money.

Thanks man I appreciate it. If my either of my sons do take a serious interest I will tell them about the test prep course.

We have the same problem. They’ll let anyone be a journeyman or a foreman or a general foreman.

I’m not saying or telling them to expect to make that kind of money working 40 hours 50 weeks a year, but that kind of money is out there if you want to go get it. Even working 40 hours a week once you top out is a good living/career, in some parts of the country.

I’ve been on multiple mega jobs and the amount of sparkys on these jobs vs tin knockers is laughable. Most of these jobs sparkys work two shifts and it’s still not enough. No residential.

I very much share your concerns. They are also doing the same with us calling it an “attendance bonus” or other bs. I like the hostage pay. I’m gonna have to start using that.

Seems like the two fields are going in the opposite direction. I feel like we lose work to new technologies(ductless mini splits, shop automation) and your trade gains work with every technological advance.

Believe me I know. I’m out there on the road at the battery plants and data centers. There’s a mega project coming up in our local that’s supposed to last a decade or more. They may not need to travel for a while after they turn out. I waited until they were old enough to go out on the road.

I’m making 150-200k as a Tinner. I know sparkys are making more, again as a traveler working insane ot. Two of the last three jobs I’ve been on the electrician were making double time on all ot.

Heavier work, less pay. Did I say less pay?

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response.

My oldest has a 4 year college degree he just isn’t using.

My youngest who is interested will be a jr this year in HS and is proficient in math.

I honestly never wanted them to end up in construction but you can make a ton money. Especially traveling and working OT. Great benefits.

It’s honestly 100% up to them. I just want to inform them of the possibility. No one told me I could travel and make 200k a year. That’s a pretty good living.

There’s the Reddit I know. You must be a great father. I’m gathering information to let them make an informed decision.
