SOTD - Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto – Desafinado

My money is in Breesus' hands

How many of you are placing any wagers on the Superbowl? 80% of the fun of the Superbowl is losing money gambling. If I didn’t wager on the game, I really wouldn’t care who wins. I just wish that the gambling site I used had more interesting prop bets.

The more ridiculous the prop bet the more I like it. I want to see a Kim Kardashian/Archie Manning on camera prop bet. I’d make Kim a -2.5 favorite over Archie.

Today at work I will be doing nothing but wasting money on prop bets. I’m already 50 dollars in to this. Betus.com was dumb enough to open their Superbowl MVP lines last Monday with Manning at even money and Brees at +250. I feel like that’s a pretty good hedge. UNLESS A RANDOM SAINTS OR COLTS RECEIVER DECIDES TO FUCK ME. Manning and Brees, spread that shit around boys, spread that shit around. If I were all of you I would now bet on all players in the game not named Manning or Brees [Ed. note - not responsible for your losses or stupidity if you take any advice from this post].

A few other props I like.

Robert Meachem to score a TD +250
Marquis Colston to score a TD +135

These guys tied for the most TD’s by Saints recievers in the regular season with 9 each (The next highest Saints recievers only had 3). 1 of them is almost assured a TD. If either one scores a TD you are in the money.

A riskier pair of TD scorers for the Colts.

Austin Collie +160
Pierre Garcon +130

Didn’t account for that many TD’s in the regular season like the Saints pair, but if you scores you win. Plus, the Saints defense is suspect. Favre threw for 400+ yards, Manning may do the same. You could put money on all the Colts receivers (plus Addai who led them in TDs scored) and just hope the Saints can’t stop them and Manning throws it around. However, based on the odds I’m getting, to win money if you bet on the Colts top 5 TD scorers, 1 of these 2 guys still has to score, basically meaning it’s the same bet with actually worse odds.

Houston Rockets – Are worried about losing their scraptrilescence and focus because of the looming All-Star break.

Houston CougarsBeat Rice in the game of layups and fundamentals otherwise known as women’s basketball. How come women’s basketball can’t be exciting and be filled with hot chicks like beach volleyball. If that were the case, I would definitely watch it.

  1. ARG!!

    So I went to the Bullpen bar down in Sugar Land yesterday where ESPN was doing a remote…and wouldn’t you know it, they were giving away tix to the Bball game on Saturday…and DAMN if I took a pair!

    Needless to say I will be there tomorrow to watch the train wreck that is our offense. Will I root for the team, hellz yes…will I get pissed when they lose, hellz yes…am I hoping that Penders’ manish perm will be banished from all of college Bball after this year, hellz and yes!

    Look for me, I’ll be the jerk rooting for the Red and cursing Penders…oh wait…

    • Mutha-bitches!

      Tom Penders should have his head shaved and then be run out of town! The team should have to shoot FT’s for 5 days straight!!

      We start the game out okay then slowly degrade into garbage, miss FT’s, and choke away leads to lose games. Seriously…enough is enough.

      This is the part where I will not be going to the Bball games until Tom Penders has been relieved of his coaching duties…I just can’t take this anymore.

  2. I’ll be der with Mrs. Hitter, after the irish stew cookoff.

    • Dude, your cat is staring at me….its starting to freak me out a lil.

      meow…….MEOW!

  3. So I take it these sports betting sites pay out in US Dollars. If that is the case then who cares. You either lose the money now, or you win and the money is Monopoly money in 10 years. When they start paying out in hard assets then I’ll be interested. At this point, having your earnings tied up in US currency is a big enough gamble in itself.
