Assuming you don't live near DC, how would you get there? It seems to me it would almost impossible to travel long distances. An exception of course would be if you could fly a plane, but not sure how that would work with no air traffic controllers and planes just hanging in the air and whatnot?

Well I guess you could do that, but you'd have to spend hundreds of dollars on plane tickets. Your money though!

i was thinking about that but you could get basically almost back to where you were, at least close enough that surely they'd think there was an issue with their hardware versus them thinking someone on the floor can literally stop time

I don't think you'd need the previous losing bets. Sometimes the odds are not in the house's favor, they know they'll lose sometimes. That's why they set the odds as they do, so that over time the outliers like that are made up for.

If you're in there on the regular then yeah they'll notice but just winning 1 big bet isn't going to result in the mafia at your door.

You don't make money gambling, you make money betting because you can influence the outcomes. Bet on football and right before the extra point, you freeze and walk out onto the field and let air out of the ball. Bet on Hillary winning the debate and freeze at some point while Trump is behind the podium, unzip and pull his dick out of his pants (wear gloves for this). Reverse bet on Apple stock, and during the unveiling next week you set meatspin as the lock screen of the new phone for Tim to unveil to the world.

Your ability to profit has nothing to do with stopping time, it has everything to do with affecting probability.

Hi Venda, we are not turning back time itt, we are only freezing it.

You are correct, this is how I envisioned it when I asked.

As previously stated, I would fart and poo poo in your mouth, for the entirety of my life.

I appreciate you, VendaGoat.

I think I'd use it to pause time when I go the bathroom during a movie or sporting event. This would easily be the best application of this power.

I'm going to the Seahawks opener next weekend and I know if I go to the bathroom I might miss something important, with this power I wouldn't need to worry about that.

I've also missed crucial scenes in movies when I have to go the bathroom as well.

If you didn't age while frozen it would be ideal, you could live years longer by sleeping 9 frozen hours daily
