Superthread XLIV - honouring Raider_69

Watching Steyn and Morkel makes me pine for the days we had really good quicks.

watching Steyn and Morkel brings so much joy to my heart especially when Morne is taking wickets.

They bowl really well together, I love it when one is bowling at each end because of one them brings the batsman forward, the other one pushes the batsman back and together they just make it a really uncomfortable stay for batsmen at the crease

People wonder why cricket discussion happens in ST. I invite those people to read the cricket forum. They will then understand.

Mensa meeting

What about the forum?

It's 90% troll posting, similar to 4C or TFC. Perhaps it's a recent ocurrence, but it's bloody boring to read.

 

[Hallatia]

It has gotten particularly stupid in there, I think it has something to do with Australia's selection policy, makes those people crazy

 

[Jason Maher]

Randomly drop the word morkel into any post and I reckon you'd see Hala wax lyrical in reply.

 

[Jason Maher]

The Australian selection policy is stupid, but not half as stupid as the majority of the posts in the cricket forum in response to it.

Poker is gambling. Just because it's not a game of pure chance doesn't mean it isn't gambling. Anything that involves the wagering of money on an uncertain outcome is gambling.

By that (silly, IMO) definition every investment imaginable is gambling.

Watching Steyn and Morkel makes me pine for the days we had really good quicks.

When Pattinson and Cummins hit their stride they'll give Steyn and Morkel a run for their money.

You probably mean me (at least partly). But I agree. I don't troll but there are a lot of pure shitstirrers in there.

 

[Hallatia]

I do love Morkel but not blindly. Him as a cricketer embodies some of the major reasons I love cricket and because I love cricket so much having him there is really beautiful for me.

fair call

And bunniesman investment =/= wager. Go look up the definition of investment and stop pretending you know anything

I have zero desire to ever get a tattoo. Ironic that Chicken Hunter bags people who watch overseas sport for doing so to be cool. I could say something similar about people who get tattoos.

You are such a dumb f**k if you couldnt tell I was taking the piss, you complete and utter doucheknuckle.

And there are a lot more easier, less expensive ways to try to be cool other then spending dozens of hours with a needle stabbing into your arm a gazillion times a second.

Sigh, I've been drawn in. In poker, a wager is an investment. If you're good enough ever time you "wager" will be profitable over the long run. In other words, individually it may not be profitable every single time. But if you do the same thing 100/1000/10000 times you will come out ahead. That's an investment.

Just like with investing in the stock market, every time you buy (or wager) you might not come out ahead every single time but every time you buy you are guided by certain principles that will ensure you come out ahead over the long run.

In poker, for a long term profitable player, a wager is an investment.
