I think WFB should charge the 2nd baseman.

Just to be different.

I like midgets more than I should.

I gotta admit

I love the one on scrappyness. I did the whole squat so that my strike zone is non existent when I was in 7th grade.

I really hope the Celtics pull out this series

Because I had a chance to take the Cavs at 85-1 to win it all at the MGM on Friday night and didn’t because the book was closed. If they win it all, I am going to massively regret it.

Online gambling is still basically legal in California :)

I love parlays. I hate the Oklahoma State for the worst sports bet loss of all time, while we’re on the subject

I took Texas -2.5 @ OSU earlier this year. UT is up 3, OSU has the ball with about ten seconds to play – they miss, foul Augustin, he makes two free throws – five point game with 8 seconds to play. OSU runs down the court, and their guy heaves in a 30 footer with two seconds to play to cut the lead to two…. and then they don’t foul on the inbounds and cover by half a point.

You have any websites you use that are trustworthy?

I signed up for one, but they wanted my social security number, and I don’t give that to anyone unless I’m 100% sure I can trust them.

Also, none of them take credit cards or paypal, but I don’t know which companies I can trust (Firepay, etc.) to use instead.

Bodog is still really safe, and they won't ask for your SSN.

I believe they still accept major credit cards too, along with all the typical online wallet sites

Yeah, Bodog is pretty awesome

they’ll let you bet on anything too. For the Super Bowl, they had O/Us on the length of Jordin Sparks singing the national anthem and the color of Gatorade dumped on the winning coach (purple went off at 16:1)

Has anyone been prosecuted for gambling yet?

I know that it’s technically illegal a lot of places but it’s more to keep sites from aggressively marketing there, and they really have no way/intention of enforcing it.

it’s really quite stupid that Washington is also a state with plentiful 18 and over casinos, yet you can’t play poker online.

But I don’t see how Garnett, Pierce and Allen could ever lose a game, let alone what… 14 they lost this year? Unless Allen takes every shot, since he is overrated.

They've lost every road game they've played, and most of them haven't been terribly close

And right now, LeBron is in “I am LeBron and I am going to fucking own you” mode (or he has been for the two Cavs home games)

for a guy who has no jump shot. Honestly I don’t find watching him bull doze people in the lane and hope for a foul that much at all.

I think they played "Back Then" by Mike Jones for Randy Winn back when he was with the Mariners.

But most white people don’t know what skeet means, so I think he could get away with playing the song.

Exactly.

Soccer moms going “SKEET SKEET SKEET” while not knowing what it means. If they ever did, Anaheim would collapse into a nuked crater.
