Plus ev plays
While I lost $1, I'm convinced this was a PLUS EV PLAY.
p.s. This is a true story, even though I'm being half funny... and I really am convinced he could never make that shot again in his life. I'd wager anyone just about any amount of money you wouldn't make that shot. He won the damn lottery that day... for $1.
Quote: RSDriving East on Tropicana, someone bet me $10 you could legally turn left onto Paradise. That was +EV for me. Don't think I'll ever let this one down.
Who had the no? Google Street View shows you can turn left.
Is it only illegal if you get caught? I had a left I needed to make regularly, was illegal, and eventually I got caught, and ticketed, and then they checked for warrants, and then the whole thing went south. I don't turn left there anymore ;-)Quote: RSDriving East on Tropicana, someone bet me $10 you could legally turn left onto Paradise. That was +EV for me. Don't think I'll ever let this one down.
The correct answer is South
Quote: Gabes22One of my favorites is to go to a bar, engage people in a game of trivia. One of my favorite questions is to ask someone, that if you are in Detroit, and driving on the Ambassador Bridge into Canada, which direction are you driving?
The correct answer is South
It's actually SSW :-)

Ya owe me $10!
I thought you wanted to NOT discuss EV plays, but then noticed you started a thread to do just that. Yes, you started the thread, now seem to want to regulate it to 'ban' anything else? I'm confused, happens all the time, and seems to be an accelerating mathematical formula. I hope I get to enjoy the sunset tonight...Quote: WizardofnothingThis thread is for ev plays only. Was the time spent googling that plus ev huh huh huh?

This is VERY important to remember if you ever drive in Vegas. Also, learn the Harmon flyover shortcut.
This spot is reserved for EV Plays, by the Op. I assume he wasn't talking about buying 2 McBurgers, tossing one set of buns, and making yourself a 'double'. You are borderline disrespectful and that may not be allowed ;-)Quote: teddysParadise is one way from Harmon south to the airport. To go northbound you take Swenson. Both streets turn two-way north of Harmon, though they both end for all intents and purposes at Sahara.

joking of course
Welches strawberry jelly, yeah :-)
Quote: RomesThis one time... We were going through a drive through and my buddy/teammate had an old 20 oz pop bottle in the car. It was half full and old and we needed the room for our drinks, so he said he'd pull up to the trash bin just past the drive through and "throw" the 20 oz bottle through the opening. I looked at the opening and determined it was literally the size of the bottle and that there was exceedingly little chance he'd be able to make the shot. I gave myself a mathematical 99.575% chance to win the bet, so we placed a $1 bet on it. He pulled up, was about 3 feet from the trash can (never getting out of the car) and tossed the bottle by holding just it's cap and letting it fly end over end (i.e. the WORST way to throw it since the opening was only as tall as the bottle - his best chance was to throw it sideways). Well, the half full bottle happened to have all the fluid in the bottom of it when it got to the trash can and somehow shot in to it like a dart at an almost straight downward angle.
While I lost $1, I'm convinced this was a PLUS EV PLAY.

I once laid $20 against a Jimmy Johns sub that my buddy couldn't hit a bullseye in 3 attempts seated in a chair at an angle. He wasn't a dart expert or anything. Just an average guy. First two shots he completely missed. Third he nailed it.

That video was cool. Of course (pun intended) you can get run over by the transit co bus the next day. Enjoy this minute, we only get so many of those ;Quote: IbeatyouracesLuck happens.

It was the first ever shot on his new par 3 course.
Still not as difficult as shooing a 20 oz pop bottle through a tiny opening from the drivers seat of a car.Quote: IbeatyouracesIt was the first ever shot on his new par 3 course.

Things are easy when you don't try. Ever notice that? :-)

Soda* bottle.

Could've been a juice bottle too.
For example, if you want to know how this summer's big blockbuster, "Suicide Squad" will end, just read the spoiler below.
