James is a freak show.


Wow! dude is amazing and nuts betting all his money all the time.

reply

Yeah he thinks he's in the World Series of Poker. Obliterated the one day record with $110,000+ last nite.

reply

He's a weird one for sure. I think he gets on Alex's nerves.

It's amazing how many people in his life have birthdays or anniversaries on a daily basis.

reply

Yup, just broke the record. He's a cross between Ed Jennings and Alex Jacob!

reply

Ed Jennings? Never heard of him.

reply

Oops, I mean Ken. Ed is someone else I know.

reply

Alex compared him to Ken Jennings two nites ago.

reply

He intimidated and beat Mark Labbett, aka The Beast, an acknowledged genius on the game show, The Chase.

reply

Yes!! I only caught the end of his first Jeopardy appearance and I wondered where I had seen him before. Then I remembered. He was one of the few contestants on The Chase who could be a serious contender for The Beast's title! This guy is amazing.

If he keeps winning and betting those wild amounts, he'll easily surpass Ken Jennings total winnings.

reply

He told Alex on one show that he's very involved in sports betting.

reply

You're kidding right? He's announced as a "professional sports gambler" everyday. That's supposedly his occupation.

reply

No, I'm not.

You're being haughty and lame though, right?

reply

Why mention him telling Alex that when it's acknowledged at the open of every episode?

reply

Has it ever occurred to you that I haven't seen every episode with that player but only a couple? What I saw was when he revealed that to Alex during his ritualistic one-on-one with each player so that must have been early on with his appearance. Apparently it became common knowledge after that.

reply

You're drtturner aren't you?

reply

This is obviously further presumption on your part.
