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 seen. I would need some more arms after than to count all the people who are no longer posting these silly "can't lose" theories. The "Due... Read more

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 official wager with a local took place on the pay phone at Blazo's Restaurant and Pie Shop on Wayne Road (long gone now). It was the... Read more

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 by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA).

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 cutters on the homeboys, and now I read Super Tecmo Bowl is coming back. Similar to Ace's past, my circle of friends was not... Read more

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 who is also smart, and the University of Illinois embraces that belief to the fullest. A creative student at UofI put together... Read more

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 Pistons 1st quarter in this one. Small bet on the Cavs in the 4th. I will explain reasoning on this in a later blog... Read more

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 wrestling dolls were lame compared to the WWF ones (yes, I said WWF). The one highlight of watching the old school AWA... Read more

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 to disrespect his former team, the Green Bay Packers, and the quarterback who will replace him, Aaron Rodgers. The Las Vegas... Read more

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 County couple sent 99-cent text messages trying to win a prize on the NBC game show "Deal or No Deal," they engaged in illegal gambling...
