That was before the new sports books legalized stuff. Yes you have to watch bonus and free bet stuff but DraftKings, Fanduel, caesers etc usually upfront that if you use free bet they only payout the winnings or once you use bonus money on one bet it is fine but they don’t do much of that bonus stuff now. It usually free bets

I can withdraw any "winnings". I couldn't withdraw any of the free $25 at the beginning, but anything won from it is fair game.

We were planning too. We put in for the lottery all 9 days we were there but didn't get drawn. We went to mostly to climb and hiked around on our off days. Could easily spend a summer there

That is awesome...I only had a day and a half. Originally we were not going to go to Yosemite...we were going north from Sacramento to Lassen Volcanic NP, and then up to Crater Lake NP, and across Oregon to the coast, and down the coast from Thors Well to San Fran catching Redwoods NP along the way, but it seemed crazy not to since it was right there.

We ended up having to totally scrap those plans thanks to the Dixie Fire, and so we rerouted everything and went south from Yosemite. We were gonna go to Sequoia/Kings Canyon but the KNP complex fires shut them down too..

Another collapsing Florida team in a season that we didn't beat them. The hell is wrong with us

Lots of reasons for "shouldn't have" losses, any and all can be true. But I'm just over it😖

Can't undo ridiculous streaks against us or 8 losses in a season. And now, freaking GA may win a NC. Kirby isn't elite, ALL talent. We could've been putting a dent in those classes, at least.
Saban would've won his share but we were *almost the spoiler for a few and should've been.

I don't want just to be good again. I want to see joy drain from the faces of every opposing jackass fan that rubbed our noses in it, as all their hopes for a season come crashing down at the hands of the Vols.
If that's petty, IDC.

I don't know why, but I have just not been worried about recruiting. It seems like the plan has been don't pressure anyone to commit. Just tell them our plan, let them watch it progress, be honest about the NCAA, and then finish with as many good players as you can get. After that, go to the portal to fill immediate needs. Whereas with Butch and Pruitt it seemed like we were in panic mode at all times. Got to get as many commits as possible as soon as possible. Got to hang onto them. Need to get a really highly ranked player to get others on board.

To be honest you’ll likely never see that money. The gambling sites when they offer “free” money or bonuses, there’s usually ridiculous requirements to withdraw it.

I learned that lesson and when I gambled on BetOline etc, I’d just make a deposit and decline the bonus.

Yeah - now that it's legal, it's a lot easier and straight forward. Usually pretty quick withdrawals too.

Damn, that’s too bad. Maybe next time. That’s awesome you spent some good time there. What walls were you on and how many pitches did you go up? Ever make it to camp 4 to boulder?

There’s so much to do in Yosemite. A summer there would be nice and a fall season would be ideal.

I turned into a gambler sometime in the past week or 2.

Idk what I'm doing, but I won $180, by betting 100 on the Vols last week. . . it was winnings off the free $25 they give you to open an account.

Anyway, they had something called a "same game parlay" for the Clippers game last night. Idk anything about it, but saw 4,000 people bet on it and since it was free $, I bet $100 on it. Checked it this morning and have $1,181. Won the parlay for like $922. It was +822.

Keep in mind a lot of that "free money" can't be cashed out. Ran into that with Draft Kings once. They offered like $100 or something, I entered into a few tournaments/contest and won $200.

Of the $200 I think $20 was eligible to be cashed out, the rest was tied up in "credits" or some BS. So after I burned through that I closed the account.

I checked it out. Any of the "winnings" can be withdrawn.

We camped at Camp 4. Drew that lottery lol. We hit up 5 and dime, parkline and jungle gym. Did 3 pitches at parkline everything else was single pitch. We didn't fly enough trad gear in. Bouldered at Tuolumne meadows and camp 4. Tuolumne has some great underrated bouldering up there.

I gambled overseas…. Got paid all my money including bonuses…. I could only cash out 2,500 a month though bc it had to keep from becoming an issue with our government.
