If someone gave me 100k and the option I would go for it, I never had it in the 1st place. If I grafted for years to save it no chance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 31,382 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 For some folk gambling is just as much of a legit form of investment as anything else......admittedly i was once described in court by my ex wife as somebody who would " bet on 2 rain drops running down a window " but some bets ive had over the years do involve more than just luck......years ago during some of my more chaotic times of life i had a bloke owed me a decent chunk of money ( 6 figures ) he was willing to pay it no problem but we got into a debate/argument about something and i told him i knew exactly how his mind worked and that i could outwit him in any situation bla bla bla. I offered him a double or nothing bet for the money he already owed me on a best of 19 game of Rock,Paper,Scissors !......i won 10 - 2......he paid up no problem but has never bet with me since that was 20 odd years ago to this day he thinks ive got some sort of mind reading powers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
