Catching Up with the Strip

by Marc December 21, 2010

One thing I’ve noticed since I’ve moved to Las Vegas is that my raging on the strip is kept to a minimum and it makes sense.  The strip is there every day and while I pop in almost daily I haven’t had much to drink or gambled much.  That changed last weekend when my friends [...]

Blake Griffin is a Man

by Marc December 4, 2010

One of the nice things about moving out west is being able to watch Blake Griffin play live with the Clippers and still be able to function the next day.  He is awesome and great to watch.  Check his Top 10 Dunks below.  The video looks great full screen since it’s HD. If I wore [...]

JMP's NFL Picks Plus

by Marc November 5, 2010

After a week away (my fault) JMP is back with his NFL picks and some editorial.  As you know  I only pick individual games and usually wait until game day for “official” picks.  Keep up with me on twitter and tumblr for my game day picks. All lines are courtesy bet revolution and accurate at [...]

JMP's NFL Picks

by Marc October 15, 2010

Nice to see JMP back to at least .500 weeks after a rough start.  As you know  I only pick individual games and usually wait until game day for “official” picks.  Keep up with me on twitter and tumblr for my game day picks.  I’m in Vegas for the weekend, but leaving mid-games so expect [...]

NHL is Not a Major Sport

by Marc October 11, 2010

I didn’t realize that today was a holiday until I saw that the Rangers and Islanders were playing a matinee.  That made me ask a question: why are they playing Monday afternoon?  Answer: Hockey is not a major sport and it really doesn’t matter.  It wasn’t that way when I was growing up.  There were [...]

ESPN 30 For 30

by Marc September 8, 2010

I’ve been loving ESPN’s 30 for 30 series.  Most of the docs are well above average, but of course some (Winning Time:Reggie Miller vs. NY Knicks, Run Ricky Run) are better than others (Straight Outta LA, The Band That Wouldn’t Die).  I’m glad ESPN decided to do a project like this.  These aren’t stories that [...]

Sports Betting Looks Like a Long Shot in New Jersey

by Marc July 12, 2010

It seemed as if the state of New Jersey was going to fight to get sports betting legalized a few months back.  Well, today Governor Chris Christie decided not to move the efforts forward. “At this time, given the unprecedented economic crisis and other challenges facing the state, the governor has determined that the state’s [...]

NBA Draft Prop Bets

by Marc June 23, 2010

I was checking the 2010 NBA Draft Prop bets last night and found some interesting opportunities and figured I’d share them.  I love the NBA draft because it’s right after the end of the season and followed closely by free agency.  This is the time where the losing teams get ready to turn things around [...]

World Cup Odds

by Marc June 10, 2010

I present you with odds to win the FIFA World Cup that begins this week.  I know less about national teams than I do about the specific leagues, which isn’t much.  Because of my lack of knowledge here I would stick with the favorites, but that’s no fun. The USA at 80-1 could be fun, [...]

ESPN Zone Closing

by Marc June 9, 2010

Yesterday, Disney announced that they would be closing most of the ESPN Zone restaurants across the country. It’s unclear what has prompted Disney to close the establishments, although the bars may well be a casualty of the recession. A poll released in March by AlixPartners found that 30% of consumers planned to eat out less [...]
