First off, I am not referring to the horrible weekend I had with my selections or the fact I am under 50% in college football (still doing well in pro ball though). What I am ranting about is football overall this season for both the NFL and College. As I write this, this season has been going by very...

You seem to always see the debates about Lebron vs Kobe, 80's vs 90's or Brady vs Manning. These arguments take the best of the best and end up in a pretty good discussion. For today's topic, how about we look at the worst of the best. You know, those athletes that go down in history as a...

Every person who lives the life of a gambler has times when they hit rock bottom or go bust. When I say the life of gambler, I do not mean working a 9-5 and placing some wagers online. I mean 24/7 living it. The people, the money swings, everything. I got my start off young running parlay cards but quickly...

This is the schedule for Detroit sport's fans tonight: 7:05 Detroit Tigers vs. Minnesota Twins (going to the game) 8:00 Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins (game #1 of Stanley Cup) 8:30 Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics (game #3 of the Eastern Conference Finals) The dilemma I am having is do...

Just kidding. I was bored the other day and went through a schedule book from last season and was amazed at all the locks, blowouts and inside information games that I discovered. First I laughed to myself that they were making these outrageous claims in a schedule book that is produced a months in advance...

There is not a baseball fan and/or expert in the WORLD who at this point in the season would have believed the Tigers would only be behind the San Diego Padres as the worst team in baseball (record wise). Being a long time Tiger's fan who had season tickets the year they were the worst of all time...

You either love it or hate it. For example, EVERYTIME I come to Las Vegas RJ tries getting me to watch a TIVOed episode to convert me to the Seinfeld side. The end result trip after trip is the same, the show is still not funny. Sorry Seinfeld fans, there is nothing funny about this TV Show. I would...

Listening to all the Kobe vs. Lebron talk got me thinking back to the 80's when the NBA still had some class and people actually did something called a jump shot. Granted, I was a child of the 80's being born in the mid 70's, but if you look at the rundown, it is hard not to say cats like...

With this the final season of Yankee's Stadium we decided to take a road trip to see the last Tigers/Yankees regular season series in the old ballpark. Besides seeing the first Tiger's sweep in Yankee Stadium since 1966 we had a blast in an amazing city. Highlights: Lombardi's Pizza. Man...

Taking a much needed vacation next week. Myself and three old school buddies are hopping in the Caddy and driving to New York City to see the Tigers/Yankees play on Tuesday. Personally, I have been from Las Vegas to Rome, but NEVER New York. Have some plans to meet people for a drink and dinner, but...

I mean "bad beat/back door" cover as in "DOH" and not as in "$$$". Poker stories need not apply as I hear enough of this drival at the casino and the home games I play in. I can only take so many "one outer" and "can you believe he called me" tirades...

It never fails that every few months you see on some forum about a guy using a classic "chase" system. They than give some stats and how they are 42-0 using it. Since I started in this business I would need a few more arms to count on my fingers how many of these "systems" I have...

When I say "bet", I mean one with a book or offshore. The first money that ever exchanged hands on a sporting even was in 6th grade when I bet this chick from Arizona in my class on the Michigan-Arizona Rose Bowl. Wolverines lost and Karen got a handful of change. Johnny Detroit's first...

The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative (SSIGI) announced its support for new legislation, H.R.5767, that would prohibit the Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve System from proposing, prescribing or implementing any regulations related to the current ban on Internet gambling, as required...

The greatest sports game of all time (with Baseball Stars a close 2nd) might be making a comeback on the Nintendo WII and DS. Word on the street is the DS game will be a throwback version and the WII version will be 100% new. Man, oh man. First I get to hear about Vegas Runner's dad pulling pizza...

Playing around the web I found this pretty amazing list. I honestly think Michigan should not be ANYWHERE near a list like this. Most of the hot chicks end up at Michigan State or Central Michigan. But overall, worth the read and looking for feedback: 50. Illinois Nothing better than a hot girl...

Granted the wife is none too happy, but here is my weekend: Friday: 20 rows from the court at the Sweet 16. Backing both favorites in Wisconsin and Kansas to cover (and obviously win). Saturday: Friend gave me his (2) season tickets to Pistons/Cavs game. First row right behind the visitors bench. Taking...

And it was made even more clear why Vince ended up the victor in the WWF vs the wrestling world. Man, the AWA in the final years before they declared bankruptcy was soooooooooooo bad. The storylines were so lame. The announcers were so lame. Shit, I remember being a little kid and thinking their damn...

No description from me needed besides this: Play by Play 0.0 107-114 End of game. SEA 7.0 Chris Wilcox made Layup, Assist Luke Ridnour IND 12.0 24-second shotclock violaton turnover on Danny Granger IND 37.0 Defensive Rebound by Danny Granger SEA 37.0 Chris Wilcox missed 2nd of 2 Free Throws ...

Green Bay goes from 14-1 to 25-1 to win Super Bowl after QB's departure By MATT YOUMANS REVIEW-JOURNAL Respect for Brett Favre was paid in generous amounts Tuesday after the 38-year-old quarterback retired from the NFL. As Favre's place in history was being debated, oddsmakers were acting quickly...

I read stuff like this and shake my head in disgust. This almost sounds like something from the "Onion" (web site that is all spoof news), but it is 100% true: NBC game show faces illegal gambling lawsuit By BILL RANKIN The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 02/27/08 When a Forsyth...

Where or where has my Britney Spears gone! They did an age progression on her and came up with the bingo hall queen slob-a-saurus below......Remember when Britney was so damn hot dancing in the school girl outfit? Now she looks like the damn lunch lady. Shame [:'(]

I love Doyle and all (especially after sitting by him in the VIP Section hosted by BetUS a few years back and seeing a gaggle of young tramps hovering around him), but does his endorsement really mean much? Poker legend Brunson backs Obama for president Posted by Josh Slagter The Grand Rapids Press February...

Question. After a bad day in sports, have you checked more than one place for scores just to make sure the first place was right and you really lost? How do casinos and sportbooks stay in business is what I want to know. Anytime I ask someone how they did at the casino they say, "broke even or...

Stupid is as stupid does..... These NBA players baffle me. For one of the few times in my life, I am speechless on how moronic this bum is: Sprewell's yacht sold, home could be foreclosed Ex-NBA star owes $295,138 on his Milwaukee-area house MILWAUKEE - Former NBA star Latrell Sprewell's home...
