    Could a trend across the country, be in the offing in 2023?

    I've talked to a lot of officials on the sidelines at games. I noticed that and asked and was told that it's just easier to mark it off at a yard line and easier to know if the first down was achieved or not. Takes a lot of the chain work out considering most chain crews are just three guys from...

    Hoban at Linton-Stockton (IN)

    Without knowing for certain this feels like one of those games of musical chairs where the music stopped and these two were still standing. So it's either play or take a bye. And in Indiana you make the playoffs regardless so might as well play even if it's an unmitigated disaster.

    Winner again. Ended in the black for the day. 11th time out of last 19 days. 7 out of the last 11 days. Up a total of $2545 in 19 days. Close calls? Just needed Kings to win over the Jazz, was tied last minute. Would've won another $475. Oh well.

    Never Have I Ever Retro Edition

    2. Myspace and AOL. never got into Myspace. And I had an Hotmail and then a Yahoo email account years ago. I've sent a fax years ago, but can't remember ever receiving one. Do digital faxes count? Because if so I do probably 1 or 2 a month on average. Some old business like the paper trail. I...

    I lost $717 on that three pointer at the buzzer by TCU. So yeah, hahaha. Had two parlays that hinged on Gonzaga -4.5. Total payout was $917. The cutoff to bet is 4 minute mark, and the Lakers game in the Parlay just ended, so I hedged $200 at +145 for TCU +5.5. If Zags won by 6, I profit...

    I'm curious, too. Started this account March 1 with this philosphy, and went from $200 to $2736 last night. Nets are going to ruin a bunch of parlays today.

    It's strange that I've been married twice and have two of the most amicable divorces imaginable. Only my first wife made a lot less than me and I agreed to spousal support for a year. That divorce was a decade ago and no kids involved. We just went different ways. My second wife cheated, but I...

    Not to stray into another forum's territory. But the 'muh rights' crowd are the ones that hate the government telling them they can't do something. Remember the anger over light bulbs? Yeah. But they love big government telling others they can't do things they don't like. Nope. But they...

    Like any industry, they're going to try to establish themselves as the default. Right now, with it just now being legalized in most states, unlike casinos, this is statewide and proximity doesn't matter. So, becoming the 'go to' for the customers is key. That's why they're doing the '200%...

    I cut cable before last football season. At the time, I already had or had access to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBOMax, and Prime. My ex-wife had Netflix and Prime in her name which she shared, while my sister had Disney+ through her phone service which she shared since she didn't care. I signed up...

    Sports Betting

    Because you're not betting against the house. You're betting against other people. The spread and money line odds are set by where 50-50 of the money is going. The sports book isn't gambling. They're putting one half of the people against the other half and collecting the vig. That's it. If they...

    Never. Just squares in office pools which are mostly random. Made a few bets when I've been in Nevada. But nothing serious. Live betting and parlays are the difference. Updating lines and in game betting make for a much different experience than making a bet once and leaving it with no ability...

    Scientists Create Mice With Two Fathers and No Mother

    No matter how you slice the DNA into sperm or ovum, the opposite DNA would be the exact same as what the single male cell already had. Basically just an expensive clone.

    Looking back at some of my close calls, this is the most absurd one. Missed the first game but the rest all won. If I was home I could've probably rebet most of this. Or this one. Though a lot lower payout.

    Got into it for the Super Bowl. I hate the fact that every state is different and that your account with the same company doesn't transfer to other states. You have to open a new account in each state that offers it. Turned $200 into $377 for the Super Bowl and playoffs leading up to it. I had...

    What are you watching?

    I just finished binging through Tulsa King. It's interesting, and I'm a bit surprised at how well it's done. But that ain't Tulsa. Every scene looks to be miles and miles outside Tulsa toward the north or east of the city. West side is wooden and hills and south side has tons of suburbs...
