what they fail to mention is that even if he lost everything, Sky would have given him a fat paycheck... now he has double his money AND Sky's money... it's just a scam to get viewers.
 
Actually I read that Sky did not pay him for the coverage... but that's just what I read.
 
I say this only for the sake of comedy, and I'm sure you'd all agree; this man's balls were in his stomach for 10 seconds as that roulette marble was spinning. Holy crap...
 
I love Vegas. I think we should have a PF convention there.
 
Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
