sedertree, we have a problem. actually you have a problem. that comment you made about "kicking my butt", there is BIG problem with that. my "butt" is HUGE !! it is going to take you a longer time to 'kick it", then it will take for to figure out how to beat the odds in the lottery. your focus is way off. that is a waste of time and we need to get back to the task at hand, proving you have "something". (actually my "heiney" is of medium proportion. i just had to "jest" over your butt kicking comment).
butt kicking, noble prizes? you really need to mellow out. haven't you ever had anybody question you or your motives before? you don't seem to be able to handle this kind of stuff very easily. you have forgotten something, this is a challenge. it is a "game". it's not life and death. you made the claim and i issued the challenge, so what!! if you have something then you should be confident about it, even when someone "questions you". i hope that for your sake this is not the arena of life that you derive your self-esteem. it is only a challenge between you and me. nothing more and nothing less.
for the record just so people don't think that i am the bad guy in here, you started this "challenge" many posts ago. you made a comment about "rubbing it in my face". of course since i don't seek out people, you still know that i am going to respond. it's all about backing up what you claim. that's all i am asking you to do.
you know that research is a good thing. it helps us to learn more and to keep things "straight". i have done some research on our original conversations concerning our little challenge. here is what i have come up with. it is going to change the results a bit. i asked you a direct question about how much you bet on each draw to which you did not respond (see "i have delivered" thread on sept 2nd).
now granted that was after your "straight" on the 1st. but here is the catch. seems that you have forgotten that all your previous references to your "hits" and the numbers that you played or "were" going to play was for .50 a draw, not $1.00 a draw as you conviently claimed on your straight. this little "slip" has dropped your winnings from $500 down to $250. so technically you are not as far ahead as you first implied. looks to me like i am still in the game?
i am not trying to get out of anything. but there is no way that i am going to allow you to "snooker" me or anyone else out of anything. just making sure that i am keeping this challenge "fair". now because i am only human and i make mistakes, i could be wrong on this. if you can prove that your intention all along was to make a $1.00 bet then we will go with that. but the evidence suggests otherwise at .50 a bet. that changes things. because i am a fair guy, what is your response on this?
i don't want you to concede anything to me. whatever our agreement was, stands. remember, it's just a game between you and me. your guassian curve - technical "hoobla"- software numbers against my plain old - no meaning - made it up as i was typing - numbers. i wish that i could embellish my story about how i got my numbers. something along the lines of : "i was on the toilet after downing 1/2 bottle of prozac while all of a sudden WAMMO. there it was written on the bathroom wall, my "magical" numbers. but i can't do that. just plain old numbers. we will see how they do. and we will see how yours does.
alot of time left. let me know about my new discovery.
