@DunkHawk: They've got some decent defenders, theyve been playing quite well...they just need either some creativity in the midfield. ASBO as their #7 just isnt going to cut it.

He's used to rooting for numbers (teams) that are positioned in the middle of the pack.

So does this mean NUFC is going to get Thierry Henry this summer? Or Deco? Please?

click the link and you'll get the complete breakdown. The house limit on a single number was only 2,000 pounds, which paid out at 35-1 for 70,000. His largest wagers were 100,000 pound bets on black, odd, and 1-18, all of which paid at even money.

Still, not a bad payday on one spin of the wheel

Hasn't anyone see Croupier? This is how they launder money... nefarious types get "loans" from reputable businesmen, and then pay them back with gambling "winnings"

As far as the winnings, he clearly bet a lot things, corners, splits, etc. So apparently when added up it's just 3-1 odds... although I agree, still seems light.

@BizTake: Who's Kevin Kegan?

Methinks that's the sort of mistake that gets you an unhonorable discharge from said Toon Army.

The math is all wrong if he hit... don't the numbers pay 35 to 1? That would have put him at 1.5 million pounds just hitting 17.

shouldn't he have won way more than that? he put down that much money, and it was all at least partially on his number and he only got 3-to-1? isn't it like 32 or 35 to 1 if your number hits straight up? something is afoot

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: I hear you. I wonder if a close series like this benefits an older team like the Celtics, or if they could have used the rest before facing the human bowling ball otherwise known as King James.

Jesus, I'll be happy if Atlanta finishes this one with more than half the point total of the Celtics.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Unless you completely throw out everything else he's done to this point and irrationally decide whether or not he is a good person based on one play then yes, he is a good person.

@44 in a Row: 12 treys and 12 defensive stops and we're right back in this thing.

I like how they repeatedly talked about him being a wonderful human being. Like that makes Rondo's back hurt less.
