If you're looking for winners

.... you've come to the wrong place. I'm not making any picks today. However, I am going to hand out some betting advice. Take the time to visit these sites at your leisure:

I have been in this industry for over 40 years and these bloggers are literally the two best fades I have ever come across. It is truly astounding how bad their plays are.

Down to your book and need to make up some ground? Fade these guys.

Need some cash for a hot date with Chad's mom? Fade these guys.

Just want to show off to your friends how easy it is to pick winners? Visit these sites and play the opposite of these guys' plays. It's that easy.


Alright, enough of that. I've given enough golden gambling advice for one day. Now I want to rant about something, or specifically someone - Jorgen Johnson. On Friday morning (Ok, it was 3:30 in the afternoon) I arrive at work prepared for another solid shift and this dipshit stops me on my way in. With wide eyes and a stupid grin on his face he "fills me in" on a boxing match that he is just sure is fixed. He then talks me in to betting a large percentage of my bankroll on the fact that this fight will not go the distance. Seems like a good idea, especially at +270. Well, as it turns out, not only have the sect known as "Sherman's People" already moved this number by 30 cents to the garbage I got it at, but the fight is NOT fixed. It turns out that Jorgen, in fact, knows nothing about this fight. He has no inside information whatsoever. I don't know who is dumber - him or me for following his lame advice.

I've been looking for an excuse to rant this week but I just keep winning every bet I make because I am so damn sharp. Well I finally found my excuse - J. Johnson. I am so mad at this kid right now. I hate his Woe Is Me attitude at work. I hate his big red man-purse. I hate his stupid haircut. I hate the way he doesn't swipe patron's players cards on both sides, even when he knows the Sherman's Person in front of him is an MTL waiting to happen. Because of this kid I don't have any money to pay my bookie on Tuesday. Speaking of that, I now find myself in debt to someone, let's call him A. Bhushan (no wait, that's too obvious - let's call him Austin B.) an exorbitant amount of money because Tiger Woods has Scott Hoch - like touch on the greens at Augusta. I can't possibly pay Austin B. on Tuesday because I already blew everything I have on Jorgen's "sure thing" boxing play. Austin B. is going to break my thumbs....

Just an all around bad weekend and one man to blame for it. What an idiot.

No trivia question today. I'm not in the mood. Sunday's answer was Paul Lawrie. Congrats to E.S. for nailing that one.

That's it. I'm done.



Enjoy the game.
