Ridley Response: "I bet 1500 total I don’t have a gambling problem" -- (link) - budice Mar 7, 13:04 24
- I want to see a Venn Diagram of "people who have a gambling problem" and "people who bet on 8-team parlays" -- nm - Strongbad Mar 7, 13:38 10
  - I'm not familiar enough with gambling to know. Are you saying only gamblers do it or only non-gamblers do? -- nm - David Mar 7, 13:51 9
    - It kind of hits both ends of the spectrum. It's either filthy casuals or people in trouble with guys with no necks. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 14:22
    - My opinion, anyone that bets more than say $50 on a 8 team parlay, has a problem. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 7, 14:22
    - As a non-gambler, would you bet on a slate where you have to win all 8 games? -- nm - spamlet Mar 7, 13:54 6
      - Counterpoint: I see a lot of ST people talk about making parlays. -- nm - David Mar 7, 14:12 4
        
        If you play it for fun, it’s akin to 2 bucks on a Powerball. Then there’s paying 50-100 per drawing on Powerball. - Will Hunting Mar 7, 14:36
        
        They're a lot of fun. - Strongbad Mar 7, 14:26 2
        
        That's why I asked. Those are the ones that appeal to me the most. I'd never bet on a game line. But I might try a win/lose parlay as proof of skill. -- nm - David Mar 7, 14:28 1
        
        There is absolutely nothing wrong with - Strongbad Mar 7, 14:31
      - In the right scenario for shits and giggles maybe. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 14:02
- It took me 4 times to not read this as "I will bet you 1500 that I don't have a problem" -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 13:15 3
  - I totally read it that way until just now. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 13:53
  - heh. the old joke "I'll bet $1000 I can go a full week without gambling...give you 3-1 odds" -- nm - Beaker Mar 7, 13:18
  - oh, hah. "I bet $1500 in total. I don't have a gambling problem" but I do have a grammar problem does make sense. -- nm - Max Mar 7, 13:17
- a legend. -- nm - colin Mar 7, 13:11
- Wait, that’s real? His agent is going to fire him. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 13:07 2
  - He has live-tweeted his suspension. I'm not here because the Falcons board is rolling like it's Oscar Sunday. -- nm - David Mar 7, 13:24
  - *doubles down* -- nm - Calvin Ridley Mar 7, 13:09
- What does the rule have to do with a gambling problem? -- nm - Meg Mar 7, 13:07
- The lady doth protest too much. - Inigo Mar 7, 13:06
- When this dude files for bankruptcy, remember this post. -- nm - David Mar 7, 13:05
- bet 1500...lose $12M -- nm - decline Mar 7, 13:04 1
  - unless he hit on like a 16 team parlay -- nm - Beaker Mar 7, 13:05
Ridley placed parlay bets on NFL games using his cell phone. bets did involve the Falcons.The bets were placed through the Hard Rock Sportsbook app; the activity was flagged and reported to Genius Sports, -- (link*) - budice Mar 7, 12:57 2
