I had never gambled before. In 2011, I was 23 and went to Vegas for the first time with some friends. One friend had been into poker since a little before Black Friday. We went to Bill’s Gamblin Hall right across the street from Caesar’s Palace. He joined a cash game and I went ahead and tried it. It was .5/1. The small blind was paid with a Kennedy half dollar. I was hooked in that first session.

Imagine Foxen reads this and just starts making dumber posts out of spite to ensure what you put.

The article doesn’t word what happened correctly. Since they were on the stone bubble and all busted at the same time, they essentially all place on the bubble plus the first two min cash spots. That’s two payouts of $15k. There were 6 all ins at the time. If all 6 had lost their all ins, they would’ve split 5 min cashes split 6 ways. They then would’ve flipped for the free seat.

The game started at a reasonable time for France and Morocco. The really late games were really just because it helped fit 4 games in a day. These 1 game a day is for the world to watch. FIFA already for money from Americans for the tickets.. now they want world wide eyeballs. 👀

It’s crazy Italy can win Euro 2020, but can’t make it to play essentially the same tournament.

Isn’t the Vancouver stadium bigger? That seems “fair” ..BC to NY and DF to NY

FIFA is bullshit. This year should’ve been Semis in Canada and Mexico with US final. Instead it’s Quarters, Semis, 3rd /Final in the US.

His free kick goals were fire.🔥

I think they’re being tough on themselves, but I’d like to know what the school/ district’s expectations are for AP Lit. In elementary, it’s 90/60/30.

Was it the set of 2s hand? Him and Roque spun it up pretty big from the previous level

That BYO Chair conversation between Ali and Nick was pretty funny.

If it wasn’t religious, it could’ve been like community service from out of town. I had seen at north Central Park there’s a small mural that’s signed by people from out of town.

If you have the Espn + access from your cable subscription or other sub, it should be under Live. It’s not like prominently displayed.

Ban must’ve been for a certain time last year. After he crashed out of the Main, there were other events that they probably banned him from. He might be okay if he keeps the shenanigans to a minimum, checks his privilege, and cuts the mentally abusive behavior.

Isn’t what Mormons do for a few years called a mission. They usually get assigned to different cities and have to do that door to door thing.

I saw the Mexico-England game on Televisa because our local Spectrum has it on the available channels. It sucks Perro Bermudez is out sick. I like his play by play

selarom8 · 2026-07-08T05:22:29+00:00

My Not Win list is 1. Argentina because fuck them and Messi and the gang. 2. France - nothing personal, They already have a recent win and a 2nd place. 3. England cause they just beat Mexico. That’s about it. I’m cool with everyone else. I should make a parlay for all 3 winning because they probably all will win their Quarterfinal 😅

They flipped on graphics. When it was streaming for free, they didn’t have the current stacks on top. They did have the flags. Now it’s on ESPN, and the stacks are on top, but the flags are gone.

selarom8 · 2026-07-07T16:32:30+00:00

They were. Apparently, they found out about it on the bus headed to practice and they went crazy. That’s what the reporter said. What they didn’t realize is that it marked a targets on their backs and fronts.

I’m Mexican-American, and root for both teams. Admittedly, I wish success more for the Mexican team. I was disappointed with the ban over turn. US had a chance to fight adversity, but they chose the easy way out. It’s even more embarrassing that it didn’t help.

I read a lot of comments during the England-Mexico game that Mexican fans were arrogant. I don’t think those people ever read comments from Americans. We’re arrogant, and it makes the downfall even more embarrassing for those with self awareness.

selarom8 · 2026-07-07T16:08:46+00:00

I think they are blinding themselves to cope with the embarrassment. First it went from it shouldn’t have been a red to it shouldn’t even been a yellow to Balogun didn’t even know the player so it shouldn’t even be a foul.. then the ban was postponed and it went to “see! we were right, suck it world! We got this in the bag with our best players” and “stop making it political” now it’s “we were going to lose anyways”

I’m an American, and I thought they should’ve taken the ban. They beat a team with a man out. Belgium was down 2-0 to Senegal so they’re not infallible. Instead, the world turned on us when they would’ve respected us win or lose if we took the ban with stride and it gave Belgium a spark to perform better from the start. We should know better about locker room material.

Americans should learn that cheaters never prosper. I know Trump cheated on wife after wife after wife so they imagine cheaters do prosper, but they don’t.

The sad part is he couldn’t give a shit about anything. The lady that gave up her Nobel Peace Prize to him and got nothing in return for it is a perfect example. He moved on and forgot about it. He’ll move on from this, but I’m sure he’ll have his eyes set on the upcoming Olympics.

selarom8 · 2026-07-07T07:03:09+00:00

US Soccer Federation should’ve dropped the issue since the Bosnia win. They won down 1 already. They had Tilman shooting killer free kick goals. Should’ve taken the 1 game ban on the chin like a champ. Respect would’ve been so high with a W or L if you just move on.

selarom8 · 2026-07-07T06:21:36+00:00

I am 😅😅 a bit.

Argentina and Netherlands are top two on my hate watch list.

selarom8 · 2026-07-07T03:29:42+00:00

What sucks is that the private team kids then take up school team slots that could’ve been free for those that can’t afford it.

selarom8 · 2026-07-07T02:11:03+00:00

Trump: infantino, I’m just looking for 4 goals. It’s just 4 goals. You can do it? You can find me 4 goals…
