the side bet.
 
what is it with people? everything is a competition. :D

myself and two other coworkers (friends) took a certification course. 3 days of droning on..blah blah blah.

the last 1.5 hours. was a test. sure enough..someone says, "lowest score buys the beer"

i'm probably just sore.. one guy has yet to report, but so far..i'm the low score with a 90 :(

i did that training circuit with these two. they are betting fools! i suppose we keep it harmless and fun tho.

beer..i can handle it. you all do this?

Yes, but never money. Drinks or dinner. Just with family or very good friends.

Took my sister ax throwing for her birthday. My brother challenged me to "best of the next 5" for who pays for dinner. I won.

I'm not a gambler unless it's a sure thing

Consequently, not a gambler

Jims5543 06-17-2019 03:02 PM

Nope.

I used to be extremely competitive.

Now I just do not give AF. If you feel some need to prove you are better than me, smarter, quicker whatever.. go for it.

I honestly do not care.

I have a friend that likes to gamble on anything, drives him crazy when I won't do double or nothing, or in his case nothing or nothing.

I don't do things like this. I like to gamble, but I keep it between me and my bookie.

Buy one beer with as many straws you may need.

I grew up in a horse racing family and it's enough to put you off betting for life.

To me the share market/stock market is fun, it's a bet. And you don't usually (usually...) lose it all like you do on the horses.

I had a coworker that would bet on anything, including which of two birds would be the first to fly off a fence.

Ha!

Sounds like fun, Cliff.

I consider myself competitive but have reached the point in my life where I don't have anything left to prove to anyone (except to myself sometimes...lol), so a bet like that would be more entertainment and social than anything else.

True story. A friend picked up a large roast of beef from a small butcher shop, total was around $200.

He's walking out and the guy says 'flip me for it, double or nothing...'.

I don't think my friend took the offer, but seriously, how bad is your gambling problem when you are betting with your retail customers?
