Charlie. If memory serves me right weren’t you going to do something for some kids if you won? I know it’s only a hundred bucks but keep mine and do what you can for them. Good Luck on the gambling side of things.

Jellybean,
your memory is correct. I had to go back and find the post on the other thread. Here is that post you remember:
(+) Kamala vs Trump - who wants some action? - Everything Else - Forums - Pregame.com (trying to fix link, it's the last post on page 28 on this thread)
The photo below is my Girls on the Run team that, after 3 months of training, I took to an affluent suburb in our area to run a charity 5k near Christmas time. The herding of cats that was necessary to get 12 fourth and fifth grade girls (and one twin brother) to the race made me want to pull my hair out and I swore I'd never do it again. However, an hour later when they had all finished the 5k and were dancing and singing at the after party, I knew this had to become a new tradition. I was very proud of them for the work they put in and the effort they showed in the race. I used money from my own pocket to provide snacks after each practice, and then for the 5k event, rent a van and pay for their race registrations.
I will put your $100 and NFLCapper's $100 toward this year's event. You are both incredibly kind to make that offer for these kids.
If I hadn't gotten myself in over my head with my hubris and compulsive gambling behavior on this Kamala "sure-thing" I would be using those winnings to do something even more special for them for this year's 5k. I will be putting my own money into this again, despite the financial hole I've dug for myself, and now your generosity will shine upon these kids as well.
I'm attaching a picture of the kids from last year's event in a way that protects their privacy but you can see what I mean.
