Well what does Excel have to do with networking? Nothing, really.

There wasn't really any focus on end-user applications.

Well business people work on excel and they might need help. If the IT/networking guy isnt going to help people with excel and word who would?

What exactly did your school focus on? They taught us how to tear apart and rebuild computers , set up and repair networks, and how to help with excel/word.

In my field experience, the only kind of issues we were supposed to concern ourselves with was if something didn't work. So if Word or Excel won't open or they're giving an error or something, then that's where we come in. But if it comes down to actually doing something inside the program they need to go pick up a Dummies book. Not our job.

It was pretty certification focused.

So the first 6 months were focused on getting ready for the A+ certification--three months learning about hardware for the hardware test, three months on software for the OS test.

Then three months learning basic networking to get ready for the Network+ cert.

Then the remaining 15 months were focused on network administration and engineering, especially from a Windows Server perspective in order to learn what we needed to know for the MCSE cert (Microsoft's network engineering certification).

How the hell do you not know how to use Excel?

I had to learn some really basic shit for a computer literacy course I had to take my first semester when I started back to school, but really I just haven't taken the time to fuck with it.

I keep a notebook.

I do too.

5u to win .60u on "Not Barnett by submission/Not Overeem by submission"

Cormier 4u to win 1.11

Werdum .5u to win 1.45

that is supposed to be "not Rogers by submission"

[Luke]

A Overeem 2u to win .73u
Masvidal 2u to win 3u

anyone seen the "round robin" parlay option on 5dimes? First time I have seen it, it looks interesting... I need to do the math, but it looks like a nice way to hedge out a little in case one of your bets loses.. the payout is only slightly less, but seems like it would mitigate the risk substantially

[poopoo333]

I ignored it because I don't get it.

[MMA_scientist]

Basically if you enter a 5 parlay string, you can bet it is 1+2+3+4+5 = win

Then if you go "by 2's" you bet
1+2 = win
1+3= win
1+4 = win
1+5= win
2+3 = win
2+4= win
2+5= win
3+4=win
3+5= win
4+5=win

So you have 10 bets, if they all win, it is close to the same payout if you had bet a single parlay. If any one bet loses, you lose only those bets that are involved. So say 2 loses. You would lose 4 of your bets, but the other six would still win.

Same thing for "by 3's" and so on... it matches up all the 3 bet combos out of your parlay for you.

its just a quick way of betting sets of parlays.

yep, that's it.
