    I used to have a buddy that was into sports betting. I'm not much of a gambler but he was telling me once about him making guaranteed profits by arbitrage betting. Somehow he would bet on both teams to win through different bookies with different odds. I don't understand it all that well but that's what he said.

    Best dang boots I ever had and once they do wear in, there's no difference between them and my moccasin slippers.

    I got a pair of Justin boots I’ve had for like 2 years.
    Still look new, the reason, they’re the hardest boot ever, EVER, to get on.
    They fit perfectly when on, I thought when I bought them, they’d get better, I think they got more difficult to put on instead.

    Gotta pull the boot, while pressing down as hard as you can with foot, that your arms and leg goes to shaking from so much force, then you may even let out some choice words.

    They now ride in closet of truck, last time I wore them I almost threw my back out getting them on, then had to clean my truck because of the place I loaded was a mud pit.

    I know the feeling...

    Doing arbitrage betting is posable here in the US but it is hard if you don't live in Nevada or have a good mix of available of sports books and any arbitrage is only going to last 30 minutes at the most. We had an arbitrage situation open up this week shortly when Mattress Mac in Houston bet 3.75 million on the Bengles plus 4.5 with Ceasars to win a payout of about 7.5 million. This caused Caeser's to increase the odds for Rams betters to offset their risk - Bookies need to even out the number of betters on both sides and make money off the juice (spread) not on picking a winner. You can do arbitrage with the betting exchanges in the UK, but you need to set up high speed servers near or in the same server farms the betting exchanges use in Scotland to bet on the spreads on English horse races. However, if you are a US citizen you need to set up a British Limited Company with bank accounts in the UK to do this and it's not cheap to do. In less your best friend from boarding school lives there and is willing to be your resident director.

    SO.

    We're being loaded.

    There's another LANDSTAR truck here that had his doors open, looking like he was going to get loaded if we were late.

    He is not pleased as he has been sent to wait.

    The OM is pleased.

    So, he the other guy doesn't have an almost all-knowing Cat onboard? Sad to be him.

    Im waiting on email papers for the weekend load. I bought Tim Horton Kcups. I balked at the price the cashier took $3 off them. Only 7.70, with discount. Hope they are good.

    Life is much more productive with an OM. Plus you get purrs.
