Place Your Bets – Football: V

Last week was a historic week for picking winners.  I went a PERFECT 6 for 6 making an overall return on the week of 125%.  Pipez went a stellar 4 for 7 on the week for a return of 66%.  Why throw away money in the stock market when you can make your wildest dreams [...]

October 22 Houston Sports FaF Smear (Rockets Preview)

Red Nation? Funny, I thought we were only pinko socialists… Here is your Halfass 2009-2010 Houston Rockets Season Preview… Last Year: In 2008-2009, the Rockets shocked the world (not really) by reaching the second round of the playoffs despite no T-Mac and bits and pieces of Yao’s foot.  The Rox then took the Lakers to 7 despite [...]

Place Your Bets – Football: IV

I had a second consecutive unimpressive week due to my lack of profit.  The good news is I have still not had a losing week.  This probably has to do with my “cherry picking” style as TRG would call it.  I’m taking 3 under dogs in the NFL this week, Cherry Pick that TRG!  Septimus [...]

Place Your Bets – Chronicles of Gambleria: III

After this week of gambling you should have some – Money to Blow I apologize for my lack of gambling picks the last couple of weeks, not that you noticed I’m sure.  This week there appear to be a good number of bets out there for the taking.  I would have to go back and [...]

FaF Opponent Essentials: UTEP

Each week we’ll dig deep to find the best dirt on the next opponent of the Houston Cougars. If you have any suggestions e-mail them to us (admin@fourthandfifty.com) and we’ll make sure to include them. Generic shit-talk is completely acceptable if not preferable. Four things have become apparent over the past for weeks. 1) Opposing [...]

Coogs Rule Big XII (and maybe NFL???)

After 10 hours of tailgating and 4 hours of football that cris-crossed the border between agony and ecstasy, I have finally recovered enough to write my UH recap. I must also add that this was further postponed by Kevin Kolb starting for the injured McRib for both the Eagles and WWPurpleJD? fantasy team.

Place Your Bets – Chronicles of Gambleria: II

Last week was a good week for betting, at least for 2 out of the 3 of the FaF Staffers.  I clearly dominated, now it’s just a matter of maintaining the  momentum.  Let’s take a look at the stats for Week 2 NCAA and Week 1 NFL:  If you want to take a look at [...]

COOGS WIN!

Kevin Sumlin improved his record to 3-0 against ranked teams after the Coogs toppled the #5 Oklahoma State Cowboys. This game had all the offense you could have ever wanted, but in the end, it was the Cougar D that won the game. The Cougar D forced 2 turnovers late in the 4th quarter, including [...]

Chronicles of Gambleria

Upon further review I decided that betting wasn’t any fun if I didn’t go with my gut, so I placed a few bets based on that special feeling you get by speculating.  It feels a little like gas, but more of the feeling you get when it’s all gone as opposed to the uncomfortable build [...]
