Gingertipster makes me laugh with his percentiles. If only he knew the tortute a Pot limit omaha player has with percentiles!
I don’t score weed or come from Nebraska.

has the potential to be a Professional Gambler but he’ll do your head in with his **** Percentage crap after 2 minutes!

It may be boring for most people Gord…
But every professional gambler knows the importance of percentages. Those ignoring percentages have very little chance of showing a profit, unlesslucky
enough to pick one or two massive winners, which pay for their losses…
If continuing to gamble in the same way… "luck" will eventually run out.Where as professional gamblers do not trust to "luck".

Well just let me correct you there Smartypants! It doesn’t matter how Professional you are regarding ‘Horseracing’,..(Cards are a different ballgame all together), LUCK is a massive factor and I could argue in your stupid percentage terms that its importance is 100%!! I’ll put it to you that
Nathaniel
missing this years Arc is 100% BAD LUCK,so its irrelevant that I was sitting on some tasty 20/1 vouchers,thats the price of Ante-Post betting and I can live with it!
Toss the coin over and my 42’s onWorkforce
winning the same race a couple of years ago had lady LUCK smiling down on me,some might say I was ‘lucky’ getting all those fancy prices,I’ll argue its foresight,some might say I was ‘lucky’ he even ran,yes they would have a point and again others could say I was ‘lucky’ he got up having not the easiest of passages,I say I knew he was the best horse in the race,he had scope,he had the form,he had the right connections and he’d handle the ground if all those things came together he’d win but for all those things to Gel you need LUCK and you will need it every time you have a bet,every time Ginge and dont forget it!
Here endeth the 1st lesson of being a Professional Gambler!
Well, Napolean was on your side, Gordon. The story goes that when a promising, young cavalary officer was recommended to him for promotion, Napoleon replied, ‘Yes, I know he’s brilliant. But is he lucky.’
There are more more things in heaven and earth, Ginge…. Ooops! There I go again! And I’m supposed to try and convert atheists; not wind them up…
October 6, 2012 at 20:54 #415559Ginge, I reckon you should use that photo that Gord put up of you on the other thread and have it as your avatar, it could be a lucky omen and get you another 2% of votes in the polls.

If it’s a place of legend then it’s based in fact.
Worth thinking about before you pop off to Sunday morning service.
