Serious question: Why do you people post your betting systems here?

[zengrifter]

but, but.... does betting up in a neg count keep you in the game?...oh brother,

One of many things that MIGHT keep you in the game (see sticky).
Also see ZGI.

Say GambHo, are you a country boy, by chance? I ask because you remind me of Brother Chinist. zg

Thank you for asking me to look at a sticky. I feel better now.


Well, I tend to think so. I wasn't raised on a farm per se but my Grandpa lived on one, bless his soul. I used to visit often. One day I visited they slaughtered a goat. THAT is not my cup of tea. I once visited a cousin near Possum Trot (yes, that is the name of the place) and stayed for two days. I was anxious to go home. Outhouses are also not my cup of tea! They think washing in a bucket (feet and legs only) is a treat. Since I was a guest I got to use the bucket first. The last one that used that bucket might as well had been washing in a mud hole!! They would call me a city slicker. I am actually from a very small town.

How do you know about the BARREL??? I learned the hard way!!!

 

[gamblingghost]

Oh, you mean taking a bath in a barrel. ohhh no , no, these crazy country hill people would get in a barrel and roll down a hill!! They tricked me into it.
Now you know what is wrong with me!! They had a hog named Peabody. He was the meanest hog in the holler. He had a nose ring but he was so tough he would still root. That hog would chase anybody coming near him. They would play a game, who could run the fartherest into his pen without the hog killing him!!

Well, I thought about this for awhile before deciding to tell it. Just for you Machinist. I know a short farmer where tall boots just wasn't tall enough. Soooo, he has a stump that he cut to just the right height. Now, this is what HE told me. Anytime he went out there and stood on that stump one certain sheep would come sauntering by shimmering her hind quarters. He told this with a straight, serious expression that I could tell by the glimmer in his eye why he lived all alone. I did not ask for a demonstration!

The barrel ride is far from fun. Well, unless your standing off to the side watching! I have never lived in Kentucky myself. I have been to Arkansas though, I called it the state of confusion.

I can't believe you fell for the snipe hunting gag. Did they leave you out there by yourself? City slickers think they are soooo smart!

Well, you was doin good until you said Monkey's elbow. No way that is in western KY. You mean Monkey's eyebrow. Monkey's elbow is south of Louisville. I don't understand the monkey part. There are no wild monkeys in KY!! I once went to a church meetin over there. Wow, what a show!! Didn't see the snake part though. But healin, brother, I don't know why they need hospitals there!! But, if that preach man smacked me on the forehead I might get to smackin back!!

Well, you know, I never checked it out, but when I was staying down there, that's what my friend told me--Monkey's Elbow. Is there a Monkey's Eyebrow? Maybe I misheard or misremembered his words, or maybe he was just monkeying around. I wonder in AM can add to this erudite discussion?

Well, that's probably already happened. They have a term called being "slain in the spirit." lol Actually what happens is the person falls straight back, somehow not busting up his head, and may lay there in a semi-conscious state for a very long time. They are said to be in a heightened state of spiritual ecstasy.

I was at a meeting where they were teaching people to speak in tongues back in 1972. I was thinking to myself that these people seem to be speaking gibberish. Just as I was thinking that, the person next to me who was speaking in tongues, said, "Gibberish! Gibberish!" and went right on speaking in tongues. Ya think that didn't blow my mind?

"erudite"!!! What the heck!? How long did you puruse the dictionary to find that word? mmm,,, Yes, it is Monkey's Eyebrow in western KY. There is a huge antenna tower there and when we take off from the airport in Paducah(where the duke of Paducah is from) we must keep a sharp eye out for it.
