Raffle-Man

Posted on August 17th, 2008 in Gambling, Tha Weekend, Things I Like, Video Game Reviews by whazzmaster

I was entered in the following raffles at Elburn Days this weekend:

  • Three entries into the $20,000 or 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ
  • Two entries into the $3,000 vacation package (or cash) Firemen’s Raffle
  • Upwards of a dozen entries into the Elburn Basketball 30″ JVC Flat Screen raffle

As of press time I have not heard that I won any of them.  A man can dream.

Tim and I played bingo for about an hour today and I BINGO’d one time, butso did another guy and I only won $25.  One lady won after 4 numbers were drawn (horizontal across the middle).

We ran the Elburn Days 5K on Saturday morning (after staying in the beer tent late on Friday night).  I limped in with an embarassing 33:30, which I suppose isn’t bad considering that my ‘training’ was to run 1.5 miles on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of last week.  Say lah vee.

No segue: if you have an XBox 360 I highly reccommend the games Braid and Geometry Wars 2.  Also: Too Human comes out this week.  I got the demo last week and that game is damn awesome; I’m definitely picking it up.

No segue again: Wednesday is the semi’s and finals for our summer volleyball league.  We’re seeded second and our first game starts at 7pm (champeenship at 9pm).  We played kinda like garbage last week, so it’ll be interesting to see if we can finish off what was a pretty good season.

    sorry cal. here is a tip as a penitence: if you are trying to eval a JSON-RPC response string… even though the spec for javascript says objects can start with a {, you can’t start an eval statement with { because the processor will interpret it as a code block and not an object block, even though you are assigning the result to a variable. wrap that shit in parens homie.

    HOLLLLLLLLARIT

    I like commercials aimed at specific audiences. Watch the Bachelorette? Be prepared for more vagisil products than you ever dreamed existed. Preseason Packer game? Yeeeehaw! Remington shot guns and 4-wheelers. We have xm radio, so I listen to odd baseball games and get to hear the loCAL broadcasts of shit like the Dodgers/Rockies. Today it was the LA feed and I got to hear a really cool Tapaito commercial (top it off with Tapatio) and the oddest mastercard commercial ever. It followed the standard “priceless” format but this one was way weird. It went like this:

    Blind date with a Padre fan? $11
    Blind date with an A’s fan? $1
    Blind date with a Dodger fan? $150
    True Love? Priceless

    What are they trying to say? Everyone except LA people are poor? You need to spend a lot of money to find love? The A’s are in a different division. Why hate on them? What’s a $1 date? A vending machine rubber?

  20. wwhazz said [at 1:05 am on August 20th, 2008]

    Isn’t Greg an A’s fan?

  22. wwhazz said [at 1:03 pm on August 20th, 2008]

    I tried to cal after I heard that commercial. I also googled around trying to find it, so I could better study it. The Dodger date might cost $159. I can’t remember.

    LA treats San Diego the same way Chicago assholes treat Milwaukee. They always come there to do fun stuff but they talk shit the whole time. To LA, San Diego is a hillbilly town or a suburb.

    At least they left Tijuana out of it. JERKS!!!!!!!!!

    Tonight is the big volleyball league championship. They made it to the semifinals, but the season is now in doubt as one of the key members of the team is on a jury deliberating as we speak. Belly got picked for jury duty and now she might not get out in time to play. High drama.

  41. wwhazz said [at 3:49 pm on August 20th, 2008]

    Also, she tried to wear shorts and a tank top to the first day, but I set her straight and made her put on a blouse. Kids these days.

  42. cal said [at 4:20 pm on August 20th, 2008]

    This craps strategy has been kept within the inner circle of casino bangers for years - under a mutual gentlemen’s agreement. We tried the Insiders Craps System on randomized computer print-outs and couldn’t come close to losing through 8000 decisions! (Think how long you would have to stand at the tables for 8000 decisions.) We tried it at several casinos in Atlantic City, Vegas, Reno and Tahoe. The damned thing just would not lose!
    With this system:
    You won’t care if the tables are hot or cold… you still win with this super craps strategy! A new shooter can throw 3 or 4 or more craps in a row and you win! A new shooter can throw 3 or 4 or more sevens in a row and you still win! A new shooter rolls a point, and sevens out on the next roll. Shooter after shooter can do this, and you still win! A shooter can throw 14 passes, or more or less, in a row, and you still win! A bunch of players in a row, can seven out after any amount of numbers, and you still win!

    Madd, you might like this:

    Verlyn and Judy Adamson, the Mount Horeb couple who hit the lottery last weekend to the tune of $955,000 after taxes, have said a mathematical system helped them pick the winners, even though experts scoff at the idea.
    Contacted early in the week by the State Journal, when it was thought the Adamsons had two winning tickets (they had a total of four — all using the same numbers), Judy Adamson indicated her husband had developed a system for picking the winners.

    “He has one of those analytical, numbers minds,” Judy said. “It was a long, planned-out thing, to just keep doing it over and over. It was a thought-out process.”

    Later in the week, after it was revealed they had purchased four tickets and the couple were no longer speaking to the media, Monroe attorney Scott Thompson issued a brief press release on their behalf.

    Thompson noted that the winning numbers were 1, 5, 8, 13, 24 and 26.

    The release continued: “The mathematical equation used is a trade secret. At this time, we are exploring patent protection. Therefore, any public disclosure at this time is not in my clients’ best interest.”
