BonusPater Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Placed a few more bets and now have pending ones worth 605 USD - I played a bit of 60 and 100 USD spin&ego and ran into some crazy guys. Then lost most of the profit on slots, but did end up with a small total profit from the poker and casino.On my mobile so not going to post them now. At a conference till Saturday evening, so will probably just post an update on Sunday. All bets are settled in the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonusPater Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 @WuDu, nope, no agent anymore. For this crazy challenge I'm just using one bookie, and at the moment it's pokerstars, as I never used them before and can get okay stakes through (at least I could until yesterday). When I reach about 2k I'm going to withdraw and put the money on Pinnacle. As mentioned earlier in the thread, this is with a complete opposite mindset than usual (no money management, don't look much at value). It's all for the fun and after all just a 15 USD investment. I've changed the goal again, as I could use a new laptop as well (want to play BF1 and other games on ultra settings which is not quite possible with my current one). When (more of an if really) I reach 3.5k I'll withdraw 3k, when I then reach 2k I'll withdraw 1.5k, and then I'm going for the 150.000. Got four bets for the weekend, and all are long shots, so it might very well all be over on Saturday :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotWhatItTakes Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 @WuDu, I understand that it makes you angry to see Bayern buying Dortmund´s best players in the past few years. I don´t deny that Bayern did indeed week their opponents. But be realistic, Götze would have never stayed in Dortmund. If Bayern didn´t buy him, some english or spanish club would have. The same for Lewandowski, his contract was about to end, and he really, really wanted to join Bayern. Should Bayern not buy one of or maybe the best striker in football just Dortmund is happy? And Hummels, well he wasn´t done with Bayern and vice versa. He wanted to go to Bayern, too.Personally, I think Bayern is kind of stingy in reference to buying new players. They don´t want to pay huge amounts of money for average players.And within the Bundesliga they can get GERMAN players, that know the Bundesliga very well, know the language, know the culture, know the weather and so forth. In the past they tend to buy south american players, but as you probably know that didn´t work out. Of course by doing as they are currently doing they are weakening other clubs, but I don´t think that is their main goal. The main goal is to improve the team. That is what other teams are doing as well. Dortmund is doing it with M´gladbach for example (Reus, Dahoud).In the Bundesliga the team with the most money can bully all the other teams. Because Bayern has in fact the biggest amount of money, they can bully/weaken all the other 17 teams. Dortmund can only do it with 16 teams and gets bullied by 1. @testuser1, I feel so sorry for Schalke´s loss yesterday. You almost did it, if it wasn´t for that false throw-in just before the 3:1 fell. Good luck with your weekend bet, it sure is a long shot, but still possible to reach your goal! 😃 NO MORE HALF-MEASURES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris1285 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 @GotWhatItTakes, thats the point: "I don´t deny that Bayern did indeed week their opponents." So how other german teams can be great ambassador if Bayern take their all talents? :wonder:Poor Schalke, almost in the semifinal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WuDu Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 @testuser1Nice to not be German and to be able to bet via Pinnacle...:teardrop:@GotWhatItTakesReus was changing clubs when? 5 years ago? Within 3 years, Bayern brought in BVB's top striker, top midfielder and top defender. And probably tried to get their best player (Marco Reus) as well. I'm still wondering how much you guys really paid for Götze to become a glorified mascot on your team? 70-75 M Euro in total before transfering him back? Wasn't he the top-earner or close to it, despite the fact that his position didn't even exist in Bayern's system?That's the way the Bundesliga works, that's OK but don't pretend Bayern is doing some charity work here...😃 We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!" And I'm gonna say: "I'm sorry, we're gonna keep winning because we're gonna make America great again!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotWhatItTakes Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I always hated the fact that they bought Götze for such an absurd amount of money plus his extreme earnings. I think he never even tried to identify with the club. He was just in it for the cash as it seems :teardrop: No, no, of course Bayern isn´t doing charity work, but they are just trying to stay on top. You might say they try to weak other clubs, I ´d say they are trying to strenghten the own team. Probably, it is something between 🆒 NO MORE HALF-MEASURES.

Probably, it is something between 🆒 Maybe Bayern should get their sh*t together and invest in a solid scouting department. I remember back in 2013 KH Rummenigge was making fun of Dortmund's transfers for the new season because to him they were all unknown and he couldn't spell their names. Those 3 players were Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and Sokratis Papastathopoulos. And look how they turned out...If you think Götze was bad, think about Schürrlle. :puking: Man, I hope that the CSL comes knocking and makes him an offer. Quanjian has an open spot and they want a striker in the worst way... We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!"

GotWhatItTakes Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I personally don´t give much about what Rummenigge is saying. He appears to be some kind of talke or imposer to me.I understand you don´t like Schürrle that much @WuDu. Sometimes, I hope some chinese team will buy Costa for a nice pile of cash..We should be happy, Götze and Schürrle made us WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS in the end.❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️http://i.imgur.com/w5ayuQI.gif NO MORE HALF-MEASURES.

BonusPater Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Only one pending bet left. Was extremely unlucky with the ones that we lost and extremely lucky with the one where we still got a chance. Both remaining games are played tomorrow, so still in the game for another day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotWhatItTakes Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow, you got pretty lucky with Hamburg scoring in 90+3rd minute. When a bet starts like this, its gotta be a winner.Leverkusen will beat Freiburg (despite their coach Korfut) and Schalke is gonna destroy Leipzig tomorrow! GLGL :cash: NO MORE HALF-MEASURES.
