Message: [QUOTE="UCweCONN, post: 2309334, member: 619"] I am one happy man today. I registered with an on-line betting website and was planning on putting $1000 on CM by KO hoping to catch lightening in a bottle. I entered $1000 in and it showed me the payout would be $3250. Ok, a nice payout and if I lost, I'm out a grand but it's not gonna break me. Then I added a zero and saw that a $10k bet would be a payout of $32,500. Now that's some serious game changing money right there and I happened to have $10k to do it. I was THAT close to pulling the trigger and putting up the $10K on CM by KO. I just had a strong gut feeling that FM was underestimating him and CM would come out like a man possessed and stop him early. When I woosed out and decided not to bet, I didn't even end up watching the fight because I couldn't take it if CM knocked FM out and I was that close to making $22.5k. I've never gambled before but it's easy to see how guys can get in over their heads with this stuff. Thank God I didn't lay the $10k!!! So much for the trust your gut thing because my gut was telling me to go for it. [/QUOTE]
