Moving to Vegas to become a full time pro handicapper

Just got back from Hawaii and figured I would check out how CG is faring....this thread has turned into a circus.

Gone for 2 weeks, and man things have turned around. 

Can't help but comment on Vanzack's post frequency on this thread.....don't usually see a thread that interests him as much as this one; kind of surprising.

Scalabrine's posts concerning the King's bet (especially the ingame comments) were classy.  That guy is unbelievable.

BOL moving forward CG.....this is a very serious time for you...your nose is open a bit, but you still are in a pretty good position; just have to go to work and let the chips fall where they may.

I have been having this same discussion with myself.

Why am I so fascinated with this thread? 

I have come to the conclusion that I have serious character flaws.

Admittedly, I threw this post out as bait to see how long it would take Van or Scalabrine to reply.

Van you are the winner.

As for the character flaw, no biggie.

Is it possible that TDogg and Baronman have successfully killed each other.

Like a duel where both shot at each other at the exact same time?

At least I am winning something.

I haven't won a bet since the NFL championship weekend it seems.

I wonder if Covers is charging advertisers a larger fee for getting their ads up on this thread.......?

If so, how about kicking a little juice CG's way for being the founder of the feast......

My only disability is my modesty.  And as far as I know, nobody pays for that.

How was Hawaii?

One place I have always wanted to go but haven't made it to yet.

It happens.

Right now I am sitting on some May 2016 call options on WTI Crude futures....... and the market is in sell mode again today.

Need a bump north of 50$ this summer or else....

It was pretty good....stayed in Kona on the big Island. Little bit of weather though; I wont complain, but more sun would have been nice.

Got a chance to hike along the southern tip of the island last Wednesday morning; I highly recommend that....humpback whale watching was spectacular.

Time change is a bear though...

Possible, but highly improbable

Disagree. Check out the investments forum, I have broken down a few things on WTI. 

My strike prices are legitimate, and there are still 14 months on the clock until expiration.....will be adding more calls if we base around 40... wanted to close the positions out this fall; just wait and see.
