Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Evaluating Herman's first (almost) 500 days...)

You are correct. I read something online comparing the two albums and if said if both musicians were on a desert island, Prince still could have made Purple Rain. Michael could have never made Thriller on his own.

You're supposed to unless the dealer shows a bust card. It's not balls, is math.
A ballsy Blackjack move is more like doubling down on 11 vs a dealer 4 or splitting AA against a dealer 8 or 9.
He's probably right. That's why it's not really a matter of being ballsy when you just believe the statistics.
Haha ... Quantity and not ranking mate ... two 5* WR's ... ;-)
Trying to simplify it for our site owner that did not come to the sport until 2 or so years ago and has spent his adult life doing gridiron analysis ...
In contrast I’d offer the fact that every EPL player of the month except on has been a forward including your 2/5* examples.
Sadio Mane
Harry Kane
*Leroy Sane
Mo Salah
Harry Kane
Sergio Aguero
I’d bet on Mo for February as well. Not just Ketch that likes strikers.
That's simply not an accurate portrayal of things, so if you're going to belittle my chops for the sport, at least get things like the details straight.
ALWAYS split Aces and 8's and always double an 11.
The rules of proper blackjack playing are constant. The difference between winning and losing is knowing when to get up from the table.
Disagree about Prince. Not worthy of any of the adulation he has received since he passed away. Also disagree with your take on the Oscars. Hollywood is so out of touch with mainstream America. Why does Hollywood and the music industry so compelled to politicize their awards ceremonies thus further creating division. Add the NFL to that list as well.
Yep. It would be so much better if the sanctimonious, hypocritical, stupid, outrageously biased/misinformed diatribes were vomited on the public from the reactionary right.
No gotcha. Just seeing what you've posted in the past -- and even in this thread -- about men and women, along with your interest in movies and the Oscars, I thought you might call out the Academy for its hypocrisy in giving Kobe with his history its highest award right in the midst of its #metoo moment, and was surprised when you didn't.
Yes. I know. But hitting 16 is more "basic" than splitting and doubling rules. I just thought it was a bad analogy.
You and the rest of the whole world
One trick I use is to bet more. I know that sounds goofy but follow my logic:
If you sit down at a $10 table, throw $100 stake down and play for an hour you'll probably go up and down, up and down, you're drinking, and you don't leave when you're up $50 because... it's only $50. So you stay there and according to DeNiro in Casino, their first rule is to keep you playing. If you play long enough, you'll give it back.
Take the same scenario, throw $1000 down, bet $100 a hand. If you get up $500, you think, "Shit, that pays for dinner and a show" so you get up and walk away and you've made $500.
The only difference in the scenarios is 1 more zero and now you have sufficient incentive to leave the table. Of course, you have be prepared to lose $1000, but that's why it's called gambling.
Otherwise, just consider yourself buying quality entertainment for $100 and have a good time.
No, it was a gotcha moment. Otherwise, you wouldn't dare have compared his situation to what happened in Baylor.
You're reaching for the sake of being mad at Hollywood. Spread your disgust all around. There's plenty of shitty acting men everywhere.
We don't need either extreme. Divisive as well as debilitating to the welfare of this country.
Okay - if you want to go there, unlike Kobe, at least two Baylor players were convicted by juries and are serving hard time. And none of the players involved in those assaults have a snowball's chance in hell of anything close to being feted by a Hollywood who pretends to be outraged when it's an obnoxious boor like a Weinstein doing the harassing and assaults, but somehow manage (like you do) to look the other way when it's a cool, sharp looking dude like a Kobe. She was 19 years old for Pete's sake. Be consistent.

Let's not pretend this is about the girl. This is about your Hollywood thing.
