franky, i say. his long lost brother. turns out he's the guys that's been running the kiddie pool for years. he's trying to horn in on Everest's deal now by running .5/1 limit in the local bath house. of course everest and oneball are going to have to deal with that.

when nickel got his head blown off in the trailer i laughed my ass off. that would be the best scene of the entire series if it happens.

my prediction for the big game is that dmx buys into the big game with the laundering money and bankrolls miami. she goes on severe tilt which should be obvious and loses it all. the corporate guys come after dmx and miami on episode 6.

what happens to eddie is out of my vision as they can go several directions with him, but the story as i see it is as follows:

nickel is going to get his head blown off, and the "friend" of matador who is like the hotel manager is going to find out about it and do something to prevent matador from killing in the future.

matador is going to find out about eddie and the gang and come after him. eddie is going to go to the hotel manager and try to turn everest in to the law. eddie is going to have built quite a large bankroll for himself off of matadors deal with him. he will use this money in someway for the good of mankind, probably to turn matador in some way. at the end of the episodes, he will have to start over again as he spent all his winnings on something productive, possibly the debt that dmx has built, and it will end at the beginning of his journey into a legitimate poker career. the storyline in this paragraph wont come together in this episode, but in the episodes after.

Or perhaps he died while running next to the kiddie pool and slipped.

Was that really the Sherriff shooting someone or was it The Matador? (my memory fails me but I thought it was The Matador).

Here is what will happen. The Matador will murder either Miami or the black guy (or maybe the mom of Eddie but highly unlikely). Why do you think they show Eddie being escorted by security and his face is full of rage??

In the trailer at the end of last week's episode, Nickel, Hawaiian shirt guy and the crooked sheriff were in the same room. Sheriff is pointing the guy in their direction and fires a shot. My guess is crooked sheriff kills Hawaiian shirt guy, and arrests Nickel for the murder.

A lot of the predictions in this thread are really bad. I just wanted to point that out.

If anyone gets shot in the sheriff's office, it'll be Tropical Henry. Of course its possible that nobody will get shot since you hear the gunshot off camera (TV/Film Preview Trick #2).

Eddie getting pulled away by security means that something happens at the table. My first thoughts after last week's episode were that Clark would turn on the team since his backstory is the most cloudy and he is the one the writers have tried to make the least likeable of the three heroes. My thinking is that Everest, knowing about the team, approached Clark and struck a deal with him to bust the other two.

I don't predict Eddie's mom getting clipped. That doesn't make any sense. So probably it will happen.

i must have missed part of this weeks trailers, or forgot about some of the important stuff, cause i just saw them again and some of the things that happen would change my predictions. oh well, i think my guesses are still pretty onkey, but its obvious that everest is on to the gang in this episode.

I missed some of last week. Can someone quickly tell me what's going on with the computer guys/traders bankrolling what's his name. Are they laundering $???? What is up with that??

thanks

Clark came up with an algorithm for a business venture with some other guys. He spent company money to play poker online and got caught and subsequently kicked out of the group. He then went back to them to get 100K to build up for the big game, but got only 20K. The guy then went to Clark and told him that some people wanted to do business with them, but only wanted to deal cash (drugs probably). They are having Clark take illegal drug money to a table, play a little, then cash out via check. Clark greased a floorman to make it all go without being noticed. The guy told Clark that they'd do a couple of test runs but apparently they only did one or two before proceeding for 200K. Clark went to cash out and thought better of it, thinking that maybe they were on to him. I can't remember off the top of my head what he did with the 200K, if anything.
