Walks away with $14M. Doesn't bet on game 7.

He had to split his bets across different venues because the max bet allowed is $250K.

One bookie changed his odds and made them worse for the Dodgers in game 6, as he approached.

I didn't want to press my luck. I can live off my 14 million at least until the 2018 World Series.

No.

The first thing, you've probably thought about for some time. And it was probably an easy choice.

For the second thing, you probably needed to evaluate deeply and rank it among several choices.

So, what was it?

Also, your kid will probably want something "big". What would he ask, and what could/would you give?

Admin: Or, as someone suggested, for game threads. It would make it hard to find and read non-live game threads though, since they would all be contained here. It was just a built-in plugin Jul 25, 2017 15:20:03 GMT -8

nuraman00: What's the difference between a live game chat, and a game thread? From my experience, game threads are used as live chats. Jul 25, 2017 20:13:34 GMT -8

BillLaimbeer: In a game thread, you talk about the game before, during, and after the actual game. You have a permanent record of those discussions. In a game chat, you interactively talk about the game while it's going on. After it is over, tho,there is no chat record. Jul 26, 2017 5:42:50 GMT -8
