Pollis Kinks

So Pollis.com officially soft launched on January 19th. It looks pretty good, but deffinetly rough around the edges....very rough. I tried creating a blog and it said access denied, must be part of a group to do so. That's an issue. Jake is currently in the process of writing Yogesh (our lead developer hired through E-Lance) an email. I've asked to proof it since I can imagine what could be said due to the end result being SOOOO far off target. There also seems to be alot of frizz I guess you could say, a few extra duplicate links, some unnecessary features and somewhat general confusion on how to use the site. I don't think it bodes well when the CTO is having trouble navigating the site.  It's hard for me not to login the dashboard and start moving things around to make them look like what we want. Feel free to head to Pollis.com and sign up then add me as a friend By clicking here

2 of 13

Bet 50 on the capitols to win at home vs a banged up penquins squad. Close margin but it's a win. 88 and change going on the bruins at home Thursday night. Hard not to bet on them given the record. Question is spread over or money line. I may go with spread given the opponents losing record. Have 7 bucks fun money on Dallas mavs win and heat clips over 203 that wins 36. Looking for miracle since both teams shooting like high schoolers. Should have bet Miami money line. I think once I get over 2k I'll start betting 50% per game. May be mentally tough loosing a full two weeks pay even tho I started of with an hour

Game one of 13

I took the spread on the Bruins at -1.5 for $30 and they won 5-3. Easy money. I was going to parlay the over of 5.5 as well...would have been a nice +280 score, but one game down 12 to go.
$30 --> $57.43
The next game I'll take should be tomorrow night depending upon if there's any matchups I really like. Hopefully by March I'm halfway to the 100k goal

Unlucky #13

So I've always been fascinated with compounding interest. It's one of those things that blows up quickly if done right and given he right circumstances. The bruins went on a 13 game win streak last month and it got me thinking about static small and letting a small initial investment snowball into something large. For example if you take $10 and put it on a -110 bet you'll be returned $19.09 upon winning. Roll that up 13 times and you get about $89,000. 13 is hard to get right in a row but it's worth a fun sweat for a week or so. My goal is to take 13 -120 favorites and turn $30 into just over $100,000. If you want to try and do similar streak for a free $100k head to espn streak for the cash site. I'll be posting later today/tomorrow my weave of games that I hope to take me to that payday bonus.

Re-Routed

Ok so for those who read my postings on ShireFox before hand are probably wondering why I've been exiled from my own website. Well, the answer's pretty straight forward: Pollis development is going to the final stages where our developer is putting their work onto the server. They're shedding light onto new platforms and GUI (graphical user interfaces) that I had never heard of. So, I figure it's easier to reroute to an automated blog while A.) Pollis is being launched  B.) I work on completing my redesign and C.) I can update this on the go (work at BETE Fog Nozzle), during my lunch breaks.

I plan on updating this with all of the latest info about going from unemployed college grad to full time engineer and entrepreneur. It's definitely an experience working with India on an outsourced launch project. Thanks <a href="http://jacobweindling.blogspot.com/" Jake </a>
