Could not keep my hand off the bet button. I bet the last game of the night and it cost me $181.
Utah State just could not do the job. All they had to do was win the game after playing the same team a week earlier they had won by 18 points. Maybe resting their key players produced the wrong results. I read many teams are playing their best players less then 26 minutes to keep them fresh for the upcoming tourneys.

Betting no college games today. Looks like it is almost champion vs champion games now.
That is like being in a poker tourney with AK vs JJ, it seems like a coin flip , so I just
avoid those betting situations as much as possible. The only game I wanted was West Virginia
favored to beat Georgetown by 2.5 points. West Virginia has won last 2 meetings , but even that game,
some injured kid is back for Georgetown and he is their leading scorer, so can't get in that game.

I used to get freaked out that God was watching my lovemaking. That
is one freaky dude, if he is checking in to make sure I am doing things right.
I wouldn't be worried about the ghost.

Feel for you man. My lady walked 10 years ago. I know a close friend who is thinking of dumping the hubby. Says too much drinking and afraid to go anywhere in public with her old man because he tells people off who are just walking by.

I am sure the police can assist in retrieving the wallet. Can you imagine a man even thinking of taking a wife's purse on the way out the door? I can understand the car being taken, nobody wants to walk, nowadays. I will have to add the wallet taking to the list of differences between a man and a woman.

Hopefully the bicycle is in the garage and just needs some air put in the tires, or finally get around to getting the broken down car fixed. Hope you remember how to do laundry.

I have been telling the young wives out there, the men are buying the Harley's these days instead of the house. When women leave they want the house. So today's man is smarter. He rents the house and buys the Harley. Now, if the woman tries to leave, there is no house for the woman to take away. And the woman don't want no damn Harley.   :o

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich
behind him.

The waitress asks them for their orders.

The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to
the ostrich, "What's yours?"

"I'll have the same," says the ostrich.

A short time later the waitress returns with the order. 
"That will be $9.40 please."  The man reaches into his
pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the
man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke.."

The ostrich says, "I'll have the same.."

Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact
change.

This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual?"
asks the waitress.

"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked
potato and a salad," says the man.

"Same," says the ostrich.

Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will
be $32.62."

Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket
and places it on the table.

The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 
"Excuse me, sir..  How do you manage to always come up with
the exact change in your pocket every time?"
 
"Well," says  the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the
attic and found an old lamp.  When I rubbed it, a Genie
appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that
if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand
in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be
there."

"That's  brilliant!" says the waitress..  "Most  people
would ask for a  million dollars or something, but you'll 
always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"

"That's right.  Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls
Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man..

The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?"

The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for
a tall chick with a big butt and long legs who agrees
with everything I say.."

A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a
large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage
that said ,"My name is Pauley, you can take me home for $50.00."

"Why so little?" she asked the pet store owner.
The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell
you first that Pauley used to live in a house of
prostitution, and sometimes she says some pretty vulgar stuff."

The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have
Pauley anyway. She took Pauley home and hung Pauley's cage
up in her living room and waited for Pauley to say something.

Pauley looked around the room, then at her, and said,
"New house, new madam."

The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then
thought "that's really not so bad."

When her two teenage daughters returned from school, Pauley
saw them and said, "New house, new madam, new girls."

The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then
began to laugh about the situation considering how and
where Pauley had been raised.

Moments later, the woman's husband Keith comes home from
his monthly poker tournament in Las Vegas.
"Hi, Pauley," said Keith.
"Hi, Keith," Pauley answered back.     :o

Second night in a row. You bet on a team favored to win by double digits. Tonight my team scores 17 points in the first half(Pacific) and losing by 7. I can guarantee they will pull off a win.

Yesterday the same malarkey. Yesterday, Mississippi scored 22 first half points vs Auburn
then in the second half pours it on thick scoring 63 points in the 2nd half to win 85-75.
I believe some point shaving opportunities exist. They probably have a name for this style of play.
I think I will call it the West Coast offense. Just like in NFL football, KC can score 35 points in a qtr
and still lose a game. Only in this use of it they score a fourth of the points in the first half and 3/4 of their points in the 2nd half. This makes me puke.

What should be a no-brainer moneyline bet becomes a wait til 3 minutes before the game is over before worrying about a thing.  Tonight's game they finally catch up with 6 minutes left, compared to yesterday the team waited til 3 minutes to make it a tie game, before moving on to win by double digits. Just my rant for the night...

I dunno jake. I've been playing poker for 3 years and I am lucky if I am
up by $300. I have been sportsbetting for 4 months and am already $800 ahead.
Cashed in $200 from a moneygram in Puerto Rico, in case the losses start heading my way.

I bet the moneyline tonight that Boston would beat the New York Knicks. I won with the score being
105-102. I do not think they will be in the hunt for the trophy this year. They were favored to win by 9.5
and I was lucky my $100 wasn't turned to dust. Thanks Boston for winning me $18, but you made me sweat way more than I should have. They had 3 great road game wins. Congrats on those 3 road games before playing tonight.

Hoping you luck in your endeavor. I just took down the Bodog $25 winner take all tourney today. Only 40 players, but someone had to win. Have tried maybe 25 times.
What does the EPEC stand for? Sorry, it is hard to keep track of so many championships. And is it online or
physical place that this tourney is being held?
