Week In Review

Las Vegas 1962

by Marc on January 29, 2012

in Roundup

The week started off with a bang. I did an interview with a website that I love (more on that when it runs) and a podcast talking about Vegas on The Betting Dork with Gill Alexander. The podcast was released this week and it seems to be well received. We talked about my favorite steakhouses, blackjack [...]

Betting Dork Podcast and Me!

Pregame Podcast

by Marc on January 26, 2012

in Blog

Yesterday morning I recorded my first podcast! It’s a pretty exciting moment for me as I’ve been listening to The Betting Dork podcast for a while. I add a little Vegas flavor to what is typically a sports based podcast. I talk about best sportsbooks, steakhouses, clubs, Erin Burnett and more. I found the Betting Dork [...]

Dear Boxing, It Was Nice Knowing You

by Marc January 23, 2012

Dear Boxing, We’ve been friends off and on for my whole life. I blame my dad. When I was impressionable I watch Alexis Argüello fights with him. I enjoyed the fights, but I also enjoyed watching wrestling. Growing up I moved on to other sports like baseball. When Mike Tyson was destroying people I started paying [...]

Will Vegas Ever Get a Strip Arena?

by Denver Gambler September 8, 2011
Blake Griffin Small

With news that there will be basketball in Las Vegas this summer (albeit not the traditional summer league) it got me once again thinking about the often proposed but never completed strip arena.  Arenas have been proposed in a few different places including behind Bally’s and next to Fontainebleau and Sahara, but none have taken hold.  [...]

Vegas Strip Sportsbooks Destroyed You

by Marc July 18, 2011
Tropicana Las Vegas Sportsbook Small

I like to bet on sports, but I tend to stay away from the Vegas Strip when it comes to sports gaming since I live down the street from Red Rock Casino.  Also, if it decides to work, I can use my netbook to bet online legally. At the end of May and into the [...]

Week In Review

by Marc June 5, 2011
Sahara Blackjack Table Small

It’s been a fun week and kind of busy week.  For the first time since I moved to Las Vegas, I went out three nights in a row.  This doesn’t include trips to the strip where I’ll stay there for 3 days.  I got to see some cool people and eat some good food.  I’m [...]

It was a slow week while I was away at Harrah’s Ak-Chin and taking in some Cactus League games, but that will change in the next week while I’ll have a bunch to report back on. In the meantime check my flickr gallery for some pictures of my trip and check the stories below. Harrah’s [...]

It’s the Super Bowl of NASCAR, Daytona 500, this weekend and odds are out from my friends at sportsbook.com.  The odds are changing regularly, so check sportsbook.com for current odds. Below are odds for both winners and top 3 finishers.  I don’t know NASCAR very well, so I’ll probably throw something on a top 3 [...]

Super Bowl Game Prop Bets

by Marc February 2, 2011
Thumbnail image for Super Bowl Game Prop Bets

I love Super Bowl Prop bets. I usually break them down by segment – each team, game, silly, etc. and share my favorites later in the week after I’ve had time to marinate with them. You can see where I’m leaning on Vegas Chatter, but I’ll go way more in depth with everything here. Today [...]

It's YOUR Fault – Another Snooze For Manny Pacquiao

by Marc December 31, 2010

I’ve had my ups and downs with boxing and over the past few years I’ve had my ups.  I hadn’t watched since college, but boxers like Manny Pacquiao helped bring me back to boxing.  Manny is awesome and he’s blown through all the big names in the game ending some of their careers (see Oscar [...]
