Optisizer, you took a valid concept re portfolio diversification and erroneously came to the conclusion that these prop bets provide insurance. They don't. [/ QUOTE ] Fine. Your arguments are so compelling I can't possibly see how I can be right. You live in whatever romantic dream about hi-stakes gambling you want. I am not to argue with that. Good luck and end of discussion... Actually I could come up with an argument. Here goes: Romantic hi-stakes gambling arguments... |

Re: Stupidly Gambling For Millions Is Admirable?
I didn't click on the youtube link, was I gonna risk getting rickrolled?
Rick Astley's debut single, "Never Gonna Give You Up" contrasted the singer's expressive, soulful baritone with synthesized dance-club backing, and while the highly processed quality of the latter sometimes seemed to overwhelm the former (no easy task), the song became a wildly popular smash, winding up as the biggest hit single of 1987 in the U.K. and topping the U.S. charts in early 1988. The song was driven by a busy rhythm track and a synthesized string section strongly reminiscent of late-'70s disco productions, while Astley's distinctive voice boomed over the top. Perhaps the most memorable flourish on "Never Gonna Give You Up" is the way Astley handles the chorus, which alternates rapid-fire 16th notes with longer, off-the-beat triplets; his delivery is impeccably smooth, navigating the rhythmically shifting melody with ease. It's not difficult to see, in retrospect, why Astley eventually grew tired of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman production team's work; while the slick sheen doesn't exactly rob Astley of his personality, the layers of echo don't really do much to accentuate or humanize it, either. Still, the song does demonstrate that Astley has a flair for up-tempo dance tracks, and it's such a well-crafted piece of music that the partnership between singer and producers seems fruitful enough to overlook any shortcomings. lyric We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand * Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've know each other for so long Your heart's been aching But you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see (* repeat) give you up. give you up give you up, give you up never gonna give never gonna give, give you up never gonna give never gonna give, give you up I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand (* repeat 3 times) |

Maybe those prop bets help establish 'creditworthiness' but not insurance, ducy?
Optisizer, you have to warn us about your hypersensitivity, I didn't mean to hurt your ego. |

[/ QUOTE ] First, when I use the term "Insurance" I do so in an illustrative rather than technically correct sense. Just leave that sentense out from my original post and everything else still stands. Second, I provide reasons and arguments behind my opinions, you just say "no". So I was being sarcastic in my relpy to you, but i don't expect you to understand that. DUCY? |
