Moneyline Odds Basics

by Marc May 24, 2010

I like to bet of sports and baseball season is all about moneyline betting.  Things are just getting rolling in baseball so I figured it would be a good time to touch on what a moneyline is.  Moneyline betting is basic for me because I bet on sports regularly, but I get asked often “what’s [...]

Amphora Lounge Less Loungy

by Marc May 11, 2010

Recently I stopped off at the Amphora Lounge at Borgata in Atlantic City and found it to be a little less awesome than it used to be. My favorite part of the Amphora Lounge was the lounge area with giant recliners and a wall full of giant TV’s.  When I visited the Amphora Lounge a [...]

Week In Review

by Marc May 9, 2010

It was a fun week for ECG.  I was able to get to write up the hotels from my trip to Vegas.  This week I’ll tackle food, gambling and what it’s like traveling solo to Las Vegas. I’m not sure what I did, but I deleted some things that seem to have the site running [...]

Post Mortem Mayweather Destroys Mosely

by Marc May 7, 2010

I was straight forward with my feelings about the Shane Mosely v. Floyd Mayweather fight last week.  My haste towards the fight lessened as the fight drew closer.  I can be susceptible to marketing and I almost was here.  At the last minute I decided not to buy the fight because I knew it would [...]

Week In Review

by Marc May 2, 2010

I thought I would be a able to write up my trip to Las Vegas a little more this week, but that was interrupted with a last minute trip to Atlantic City.  That took two nights of writing away.  I had a blast, but the losing streak continued.  Off to a rough start to the [...]

Shane Mosely vs Floyd Mayweather

by Marc April 30, 2010

I’ve been hit and miss with the Shane Mosely vs. Floyd Mayweather fight.  First I wasn’t looking forward to it.  Then I got stoked for it.  Then I lost interest.  My final thoughts on the fight are moderate interest tempered with preparation for an unexciting fight. I can’t remember the last time Floyd Mayweather made [...]

Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown Time!

by Marc April 30, 2010

It’s time for the Kentucky Derby and the beginning of the Triple Crown of horse racing.  It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow.  I’m not sure what that means for the races, but that usually only favors a few horses.  I’ll do research just before the race and tumble or tweet my picks.  Here [...]

A new, and free, iPhone application is available for sports betters – Bet Tracker Pro.  The app keeps track of your sports bets so you don’t have to keep checking you bet tickets.  Of course, you can’t use a mobile phone in a sportsbook without getting yelled at but if you’re anywhere else this could [...]

Week In Review

by Marc April 11, 2010

The past month has been kind of a blur for me and I’m happy to be getting away for a few days to gamble, drink and (most importantly) relax. Last week had plenty of east coast action topped off with Wynn teasing the east coast.  Don’t mistake my criticism for dislike.  I just don’t take [...]

Odds For The Masters

by Marc April 7, 2010

The Masters begins tomorrow morning.  I won’t be touching this with a 10 foot poll.  As of now Tiger Woods is just 3 1/2 – 1.  Those are not odds I like.  I prefer larger odds. I haven’t thought about golf all year so I have no idea who I’d choose. Odds from Sportsbook.com are [...]
