Yeah, like goose says, all of us who have gone deep with money that isn't ours have been in that position. We all talk about the victories and not many times when we were hiding out from our bookie. But we've all done it. We all have those stories, and I have no doubt you did score big sometimes. I quit when I became a father. Just didn't feel right. actually a husband. I know, I'm a pussy.

yeah, I'm not going to do that. I really don't care if some sniff at the $5 bets. Piss on it, it's for my entertainment and at heart I'm a cheap bastard on entertainment.

You never bet huge money with a bookie that wasn't in your bank account? Nothing like that rush.

Yeah, I've had bookie debt. Sometimes 4 figures. I'm not a gambler, I was, but when I was I was a real bad one.

http://time.com/5092825/curling-sport-terms-rules-history/

How do you play curling and what are the rules?

A key driver of curling’s appeal is its relative simplicity. Though the sport may have unfamiliar terms, and thus seem complicated, it’s actually pretty easy to follow.

A curling match consist of 10 ends, which are equivalent to innings in baseball. In each end, the four players on both teams alternate throwing stones. The lead throws first, followed by the second, then the third — or vice-skip — then finally, the skip. Each of the four players on the competing teams throws two stones per end, for a total of 16 stones. The “skip” is the most important player on the team. The skip not only throws the last stone in an end — which often determines the scoring — but also directs the overall strategy.

To execute a shot, a curler pushes a foot off the hack, a piece of rubber akin to a starting block. The curler slides across the ice, or sheet, to the hog line, and must release the stone before it touches the line. The stone then heads for the house — the area with four concentric circles on the other side of the sheet that loosely resembles a dartboard. The house is the scoring area.

How does curling scoring work?

Only one team can score during a curling end. The team with the most stones closest to the curling bullseye — the button — is awarded points. So if, after 16 stones are thrown, Team A has a stone right on the button, and Team B has a stone a few feet off the button, Team A scores a point. If Team A had one stone on the button and a stone a few feet off the button, while Team B had a stone on the outer edge of the house, Team A scores two points.

The team that fails to score in an end gets the hammer, or the advantage of throwing the last stone, in the next end. If no stones remain in the house after an end, no points are awarded: the team with the hammer in a scoreless, or blank, end retains the hammer in the subsequent end. The team with the most points after 10 ends wins the match.

Other Teams Pursuing That wrote:Have you ever been in a 4 way goose? Maybe in the back of a van at Woodstock in 69?

No but I can give you a story - as my kids know I have a story for almost any circumstance. They always thought I was full of shit until they got older and started hanging with my friends and found out they'd only heard the clean stories/versions. ;-)

This happened while home on Christmas Break my freshman year.

I'd been raving about a little Chinese restaurant in Sarnia. I had 2 lovely coeds ask me to take them there. We made plans to go while home on break. They asked to bring a 3rd friend along, I knew she was a hottie too so of course I went along. Borrowed the parent's Olds 98 land yacht and off we went. When we got to Sarnia we had to park about 3 blocks from the restaurant.

From there it was like I was living a television commercial for about 2 hours. Had a guy stop us on the sidewalk and ask my what kind of cologne I was wearing. Had the owner see us walk in (my parents knew him) and he rushes over, seats us and snaps around for service like a James Bond movie. It was all pretty heady stuff for an 18 year old.

Rest of the night went OK. The food was good. We had a couple beers. And all went home. And that my friend was as close to a 4 way as I've ever had. But I did get to feel like a baller for a couple hours.
