Not-so-coincidentally, both Burlingtons are sister cities.

How long have you been in Burlington, ON? I grew up there and then moved to Grimsby in 2010. Love my old town but damned if it isn't getting congested AF.

About 23 years or so. We moved here from Toronto and that turned into a pretty poopty commute by the end (2 hours getting home). We live in Aldershot near Northshore. It is getting pretty congested here but I don’t find it a problem as I can pick and choose when I’m out. My wife grew up in Grimsby around Casablanca. It was a 24 acre weekend farm that her dad bought 55 years or so ago that’s all subdivision now.

Clearly you don't.

you believe its 50/50 and I gave you 60/40 odds in favour for you.

The point is why would I bet against something I think is just as likely to happen as not happen?

When I hear things like 2-4 of key lime beer it makes it so easy to continue not drinking, thanks fellas. I did have a craving for orange pekoe tea and amaretto the other day.

I hope that anal pustule Don Jr takes an express trip to Herman Cain Island, that would be funny and just.

Sometime I'll have a Blueberry tea - tea and grand marnier and amaretto.
warms you up on a cold day.

50/50 is how an even bet works man.

So instead I gave you the option to bet 40$ and me give you 50$ if you win.

It seems like you are the type to only bet if you 100% know you are winning.

I've got a couple of buds who live in Burlington and commute everyday (pre-pandemic) to downtown TO. I can't imagine doing it -- the money may be better but I value those hours wasted in traffic/trains too much to have ever gone down the same path.

Having said that, in a post-pandemic world, one wonders if remote work will make the commute obsolete (or at least significantly reduced) for a good amount of workers.

Still, glad I'm out here in Grimsby (lakeside) though I do have very fond memories of growing up in Burlington (my parents actually still live there). I spent the first number of years growing up in Tyandaga and then moved to Headon Forest.

Ok Santo. Last time for you. This is your idea to bet with someone who thinks it is just as likely that they play as they don’t play. All that makes me is not an idiot who bets on something he doesn’t think is going to happen.

Going to have to do some scouting in Aldershot near North Shore Blvd. No reason.

Ok next time I ask you to bet I'll make sure its a bet that is more likely for you to win than me. Just to be fair to you.

I guess I need to up my game. I’m not dealing with Santo now. 80/20 and I’ll give you a hint: I do have a red car.

Bet?

When did I say I was concerned about the likelihood of winning? I DON’T WANT TO BET AGAINST SOMETHING I THINK HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF HAPPENING. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

I get it. You only bet people on bets that are favoured towards you and not the other person.

Calm down old timer.

Again, Santo....that chip on your shoulder is not a good look for you. Very unattractive.

Is that still fair enough odds for you?

I was thinking 99/1 and you'd maybe consider it. Still pretty unfair though because I still have a small chance of winning.
