I'm So Poor

[ging]

it's true, I don't even have enough money for summer courses
I don't have TV not even a clock radio
and I eat little : a donut or two or a little more and a pizza for a day( I got up 11:00am today and ate a donut. at 5PM, I ate half slice of a pizza and 11:30pm I ate the other half)
I buy a little beer once a month
I don't buy newspapers, magazines,books, CDs, DVDs I'm wearing the same clothes I bought 1 year ago.
I don't have a car.

but i have a compaq laptop, high-speed internet and a digital camera, Cd player. two pairs of shoe
I have my TV cable installed about two months ago, I wanted to buy a LCD TV, but too expensive.

am I poor?

Is this supposed to be a riddle?

It is in the wrong section.

trust me...find two bookies with different odds. bet wisely (u have to figure it out) on each team and u will never ever lose money no matter what the outcome.

[2nd gen noob]

there&#39;s no way to totally guarantee you&#39;ll win money

if there was, we&#39;d all be millionaires

true, but u can guarantee that u wont lose money, so your odd are that much better. if you had enough money you could live off this. its kinda like free money.

do u want me to explain with an example or sumthin?

yeah. i can&#39;t see how it&#39;s gonna work in the real world

thanks for being patient

i gotta lil time aight.


ok...say new york (ny) is playing tampa bay (tb). ny is the favorite.

bookie 1 - odds 3:1 for ny

bookie 2 - odds 2:1 for ny

bet &#036;10 on tb with bookie 1
bet &#036;20 on ny with bookie 2

if ny wins, you lose the &#036;10 you bet with bookie 1, but win &#036;10 with bookie 2, so you just break even.
if tb wins, you lose &#036;20 you bet with bookie 2, but win &#036;30 with bookie 1, so you win &#036;10.

if you bet wisely, you will never lose money. the tough part would be findin bookies or casinos with different odds on the same game. if the odds are even more different, it is possible to actually win money no matter what.
larger bets (than the example of &#036;10) and more games means lots more money. simple, no?

thanks for taking the time to write it though :)

[Z]
