Da Bears

I’m on record publicly as being skeptical of the Bears’ success so far this season (and Tampa to a lesser extent, though I’ll leave that for another post). It’s not that Chicago has a terrible team, they’re easily a mid-table side capable of beating most teams at home and are expected underdogs on the road [...]

Current Bets

I went to the site today because I thought Allen had said that he had posted about a big 4 or 5 team teaser he had and hit last week, and I was going to rank on him for backposting on kooky bets he places that actually hit.  How often do you see someone making [...]

The marathon continues…

Too soon. I should’ve listened to the Tribe’s coach when he said that it would be January before they hit their stride. Hindsight is 20/20. Have no fear, as the marathon continues there will be plenty of opportunities to get back in the game…starting now. I woke up to see Northeastern v S. Illinois on [...]

Thoughts

1)  I do not have long term betting experience with soccer, but regardless, this week is the first time I have ever seen a soccer total goals scored line of 3.5.  And it seems pretty deserved with Chelsea v Stoke City.  This could honestly be Chelsea v X, Drogba looks flat out dominant at the [...]

Because you don’t know how [...]

Super Bowl Propping

Apologies for the lack of posting this week. Real life + being sick = light blogging. I’ll attempt to make up for it here by hopefully passing along some of the more appealing prop bets available from the literally hundreds available. Other sites have much more detailed analysis here and here. If you are participating [...]

Rick J

I have been trying to find gambling blogs kind of like this one but I am not having too much success.  With that said, I came across this guy.  http://rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com/ He is by no means funny but he seems to have a pretty good record and know what the hell he’s talking about so check [...]

“To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism- it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life [...]

Playoff Picks Final

Allen took Indy and Minnesota to clinch the picks contest last week. Pat had the Jets and Saints.
