DOWN WITH LOVE - PAY BACK TIME!!!

RodBoivin · May 14, 2003

"I guess I wondering about this source and how he could be so off. Is he someone sneaking into Ebert's office and trying to steal a 2-second glance at the review or what? "
-----------------------------------------------

YES!!! You hit it right on the nose. And...

A) He did sneak into his office and take a quick glance at his review. And...

B) Gave me the STAR count for POKEMON HEROES, instead of the Matrix. Ugh!

So, if you want some payback.... Ebert loved the film DOWN WITH LOVE... and gave it...

4 STARS

You can take it or leave it. But I am taking it. Big time!

ill trust you on this one, just hit for 100 at +200.

Oren1 · May 14, 2003

If you fools believe this idiot, um, let's get together for a poker game, or something? I got a bridge to sell you? Sorry, only good cliche' I could come up with, there's gotta be a better one...

SonofaGun · May 14, 2003

4 stars? That's saying that it's a PERFECT film. Hmm.. I'm tempted to take your word for it and put $20 on it, but I wanna know how did you guys get confused and mixed up between Pokeman and Matrix Reloaded? First the guy's half blind, and now he's illiterate? GL though man, hope it comes through.

Gillian · May 14, 2003

okay, RB. Not sure what I should do here. You were right the first time, wrong the second time. I guess I'll give it another go... but 3 strikes and you're OUT!!!

Thanks dude!

when does this get graded

Two-Niner · May 14, 2003

The limit is back down to $55 now

Matt24 · May 14, 2003

my $100 must have gotten in right on time. hope it wins

SoundofSilence · May 14, 2003

Rod, I guess the problem most of us are having with this is your comments about your source seem to be pretty off the wall... First on Daddy Day Care you tell us 2.5 stars, then come back and say 1 star.

Then you say he accidentaly read the review for Down With Love or Pokemon when he gave the star-rating? Yet in your writeup you say Ebert liked the special effects? Liked the special effects in POKEMON? I don't think so. Liked the special effects in DOWN WITH LOVE? I don't think so. I guess I'm wondering why the writeup didn't matchup with the story you're telling us.

Oren1 · May 14, 2003

obviously, this guy is FOS, and the first one was a lucky guess. It really wasn't that hard to predict what Ebert would give Daddy Day Care in the first place. This one, not so easy.

I mean, POKEMAN?!?!?!? you've got to be ****ing kidding me! LOL

SoundofSilence · May 14, 2003

Oren, if I remember correctly you were pretty happy/appreciative after he won you money on his Daddy Day Care bet...

RodBoivin · May 14, 2003

Here is the thing... he quickly skims the paper, gets clumps of info...faxes it to me. But because of what happend last time, I personally called him ten minutes ago on the phone because I didn't want another mix up, and when I heard what he had to say, I almost shit my pants, which was: " Well, there was another review right next to it for 2 Stars, I hope I was looking at the right one...

NOW, terror struck through my body right then and there, and i was about to lose it, when I quickly realized something... 2 and 4 stars is a combo or a pair at Intertops... so if it hits either one, we're safe. He saw 2 and 4 stars, and they're both together, as a group. Either one comes up and we win. And those are the only two numbers he saw. So I'm happy with that... $$$
You have to understand something... the guy is risking his goddamn job to do this for me, he's under tons of pressure... skimming super fast. But 2 and 4 is what he saw, and they're together as a group. So I feel safe with it.

You guys can do what you want. After I win, and I WILL WIN... I'll be putting up my email address, and only giving out my buddy's leakage to a select few... people who didn't diss the shit out of me the first time there was a mix up.

Piece.

It's called GREED, RB. And a lot of people here suffer from it. I'm thankful, and know you're just trying to help everyone make some money. But like I said, 3 strikes and your out. lol. Anyway, 2 or 4... I feel good about this one, you've got my vote.

gil.

Oren1 · May 14, 2003

LOL, you guys are the biggest bunch of tools. Yeah, I was stoked at first, when I was SUCKERED, just like you guys, into believing this idiot was legit. Now, Down with Love, first he says 4 stars, and we say BULLSHIT. Now he's saying, ohhh wait, maybe 2 stars, luckily the 4 and 2 star bets are the same bracket, QUITE A ****N COINCIDENCE IF YOU ASK ME!!! Jesus you guys are the biggest suckers I've ever seen. You would get eaten alive in the ghetto by husslers. I'm saying 3 stars!!!! There's no ****in way Ebert gives this movie 2 or 4 stars, jesus christ read the reviews, he's probably going to give it between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 stars.

LOL, by the way Gil, you're absolutely right, it IS called greed. And you're suffering from it. This is why it's so easy to manipulate people when you dangle the prospect of free money in front of their eyes. Who knows why RodBoivin has concocted this scam, weather he's a shill for Intertops, which I highly doubt, or just a patological lier looking for respect on this message board, or whatever, all I know is the safest bet in this thread is that he is FULL OF IT!

It's too bad they changed the maximum bet back to 55 for this one, but don't stress it, if anyone wants even money on this one I'll bet you anything he doesn't give it 2 or 4 stars. I'll even bet you, RODBOVINE!

Well, I'll put it this way -- I've made more off of his plays/insight than I have yours

Oren1 · May 14, 2003

LOL what's your point, I'm around 7-1 or something, and this clown's 1-1. You are a fool.

lakerfan · May 14, 2003

Ebert gives 10 or so movies a year 4 stars. I would really doubt this is one of them.

Matt24 · May 14, 2003

i was thinking the same thing laker, but would wonder why this guy would ahve the motive to come on here and BS? so i took a chance.

Oren1 · May 14, 2003

Bovine, I'm waiting, what have you got for me?, I'll bet you 150 bucks.

SoundofSilence · May 14, 2003

Oren:

I see you claiming 7-1 "or something", but I don't see to much in way of actual posts where you made plays before the fact... I see that you are maybe 2-1 or 2-0 at best... So +2 units...

Rob so far is 1-1, +1 unit... So I'd say he's not too far behind.
