OT: Does lanky Have a Gambling Problem

[lanky]

Back in March I made two bets.

- I bet @Dr VinnyBoombatz $10 that Dragicevic would be picked top 20. The Bob Father isn't making me feel good about this one.

- I bet @Dead Coyote a full season worth of an embarrassing avatar that Reinbacher would be picked top 8. I still like my odds on this one.

Months ahead of time, you bet real money on how losing NHL GM's would project and evalute teenagers? Both predictions are reasonable but, yeah ... betting on the draft is psycho shit.

Edit: watching Bedard interview video, holy crap this kid is boring when he talks. Even for a Canadian.

It’s okay lanky you’re in a safe place

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Ok Lanky, well, you got 1 right and 1 wrong. Good news is that I won mine haha!

 

[Dead Coyote]

I should've known GM's would be dumb.

eagerly awaiting the chosen avatar

Fairly typical gambling result - lucky (or unlucky) to end up at 50%.

I'm open to suggestions for Dead Coyote's new avatar...

This is my suggestion. If she changes hers to it, then so will I.

Dr Vinny has encouraged me to forget about the $10 he won from me. I'm a bit relieved because it just cost me $30 to wire money to my uncle's account at a US bank. I was going to mail my uncle a cheque instead but his bank said they'd charge him $90 to process it. I guess Bitcoin fixes this, but I haven't got a wallet yet.

Anyways, I'm passing on the kindness and I won't hold Dead Coyote to the avatar bet. I was probably going to pick something really dumb and ugly, so this is for the best.

I like that picture Summer. Is it Taylor Swift?

It's not Taylor Swift. She's a character from Lord of the Rings Online named Narmeleth.

I've never met either, so I will stick with them being the same person.

US banks don't accept Etransfers? You might need to have a USD account...

I looked at this, too. You apparently really can't go Venmo or Zelle Canada -> USA. Paypal apparently works, but i didn't check the fee.

The ease of transfer across international boundaries is promoted as one of the benefits of crypto. But then there's all of the fraud, theft, and pump and dump schemes.
