Im seriously concerned about your infatuation with these movies X.

Dude, it's the best series ever. Followed by Indiana Jones.

Since I know everyone here loves the Fast & Furious franchise so much, I figured I'd post this discovery I made. Apparently they made a 6 minute short film tying together TF&TF and 2 Fast, showing Brian's journey from LA to Miami.

Here you go:

When was this made.......and why wasn't I notified immediately upon its release?

BOL! I know it's on the 2 Fast 2 Furious Blu-Ray. I've also heard it's on at least one later version of the Fast and the Furious DVD releases.

It's pretty interesting. Not much dialogue, but it has some cool cars and it's cool how it ties everything together. A little hidden gem in the series. What did you think of it?

2003. I remember I saw it a long time ago but had forgotten about it.

There's also this short film, set before the events in the 4th movie, which I haven't yet watched.

I remember when I first got into betting. I think I looked at Performifys every once in a while. Also liked this guy at Therx called Braniac. Just dug up his old thread.

Hes been long gone though.

That's pretty interesting.

It's also interesting how a lot of people who at one point seemed heavily involved in MMA betting just kind of fade away, at least publicly. And yet, we keep plugging away year after year.

I wonder why that is?

Los Bandeleros!

Luke and I both watched the 4th movie a few hours ago. (It was not the first time either of us had seen it.)

Why have you not seen it? I thought you were kind of a fan of the franchise.

I've heard of Los Bandeleros but I haven't watched it yet. I understand it's very different from the typical "Fast" film.

[zY|]

I've seen the 4th film, of course; I meant I hadn't seen Los Bandoleros.

[SPX]

Oh gotcha. Well yeah, I haven't seen it yet either.

BTW, Fast 4. . . Pretty good up until they go to Mexico. Then it just falls apart.

[SPX]

BTW #2, why haven't you been participating in our recent F&F discussions. I mean, I know you like the series. It's not just Luke and I.

I have been pounding the bankroll management drum since day 1. Everyone here does a pretty good job of staying within their means and if someone does get wild, they are aware that they are doing it. Overbetting and chasing kills way more bettors than poor picks. I think we generally do a good job of talking each other off the cliff when things are going sour, and I think that is a big reason why we have all stayed in the game for several years.

That and we're all just tailing poopoo now.

[Mr. IWS]

Zak found me and invited me over. The rest, as they say, is history.

you were the first one to come over.

[Mr. IWS]

What can I say, we're awesome. Dealwithit.JPG

Truueeeeee

I think its mostly because We seem to win pretty consistantly for the most part.

[Mr. IWS]

Driving into work this morning, saw the gator. waht do?

Yeah i shit the bed a few times this year but i wasn't being very cautious with my bets. Keeping yourself under control is the most important part of this IMO. I do think we build off of one another as well. Without IWS I probably would have quit a long time ago. I am doing well this year too. I'm at approximately 60 percent after not getting much done the first few months. Hopefully I can keep a steady rate of return. If I can do that, I hope to make over 100 percent for the year.
