it may have only cost rocca $10. minimum bet is as low as $5. and 'just because' does not cut it.

Its always amazes me that people just make stuff up as they go along without knowing the facts or doing just the tiniest piece of research.
Even after it has been explained in previous posts people refuse to read them and just make up crap.

He won with one had.
It was three cards, each the 7 of diamonds, that hand alone was worth the 1 million rand. It was a special feature of the game.
It cost the equivalent of $10 to play that hand.

I find facts will kill crap every time.

But I don't find you boring at all Tess.

Amusing, yes, but certainly not boring.
You have no idea how much you make me laugh

Oh your one of those types .... great! Rolling Eyes

We should meet, you bring the grog I'll wash my feet and bring some beer nuts.

Yes I am one of those types, I do really enjoy a good belly laugh.
You make me laugh so much I have tears rolling down my face.
For that, I thank you Tess.

Why do you have dirty feet?

i am still astounded this is news. the locals will be spewing the jackpot went to a fly-by-nighter. anyway, maybe anthony will put it to use by offering assistance to the things that have deeply moved him while being there.

News Flash!!!!!

Just in.

Anthony Rocca to take up the vacant TAC sponsorship spot on the Collingwood jumper.

Rocca has reportedly offered $1M rand for the honour.

When asked why he had chosen this path, Rocca replied,"I feel really bad about winning the money and I think that this is the right thing to do. All those poor unfortunate posters on Nick's have guilted me into it.".

Colin G. Wood reporting for reuters from South Africa.

I just assumed you would want my feet clean before you eat the nuts from of the crevices between my toes.


Now could we get some sort of WARNING please before gracing upon us your nutty fetishes!? Mad

if i had been shipwrecked on my own on a desert island for 10 years and then elle mcpherson got stranded on the same island and she was running around in the nuddy and she wanted me to eat nuts from between her dirty fricken toes, i reckon i'd tell her to f*** off.................
