A mate thinks he might know of the buyer of that apartment... said he's known for betting $20m a hand on baccarat, and losing an offensive amount of money in a night, so I'd say he's got plenty to spend

crazy

See I don't understand that

How is gambling even exciting for people who put that much money on the table...what do you stand to win that you don't already have or can't already afford to buy

Gotta be about showing how much money you have and don't care about to high roller friends

lol I started typing almost exactly this... then CBF'd out

Very agree

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akio_Kashiwagi

"Kashiwagi owned a home and office in Tokyo, out of which he ran the Kashiwagi Shoji Company. He stated that he was the sole principal of his real estate and investment business. He claimed an income of a hundred million dollars a year, and a billion dollars in assets. His finances were so secretive that a credit review for casino officials declared his profession only as 'business'."

"Kashiwagi regularly played baccarat for large sums, betting 100,000 or 200,000 dollars a hand, for hours at a time. He later got into a legal wrangle with Donald Trump's Atlantic City casino in 1990 over a deal in which Kashiwagi was to bet $12 million. Kashiwagi left the casino with two million dollars in chips, having lost ten million. He claimed the casino had failed to hold up its end of the deal."

"On January 3, 1992, Kashiwagi was killed, stabbed as many as 150 times with a samurai sword. His body was discovered in his home in Japan near Mount Fuji.[1] At the time of his death, Akio still had casino debts in the millions of dollars."

Still would get some excitement in it

Would be no different to the average punter putting down a $50 bet?

If he wins its free beers thay he/she can already afford.

This guy bets $20m. If he wins maybe just a bonus and buys a Yacht for the lols

All gamblers lose given enough time and repeated visits.

Used to lol @ poker tournaments broadcast on TV referencing superstars and so called "professional poker players", world number ones etc. - no such thing. These guys would promptly disappear with a new number one in the world every week cause, well somebody has to win the fkn tournament.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
