Still alive

Hey everyone,

I am still alive! Haven't had the chance to update this blog in forever.

Recently got a new job so still trying to readjust my schedule. Also too busy winning money. I am currently playing on Pokerstars to try to win entry into one of the European Poker Tour event as well as on Bodog to win entry into a WPT event.

My goal for 2005 is to play in a live major tourney.

Will continue to post here as time permits.

What a weekend

I am on FIRE!! There is no other way to put it and it seems that I can’t do wrong at this time. I am updating this blog at work so I don’t have the exact stats to give you regarding my single table results….but believe me, they are incredible.

Poker – I am up about $650 this past week but most of that came on Saturday and Sunday. Currently, I am feasting on the $20 and $30 Sit and go on Intertops and Bodog Poker. If you are not playing on Bodog Poker, do yourself a favor and click on the link on the left to sign up. Here are some typical comments that you will hear when you get called on the river by someone that only has Ace high:

“I just lost $500 on the football game, I am just blowing some steam!!” or “I just won $500 so this $30 sit and go doesn’t mean anything to me because I am playing with house money!!”

Can you see the pattern here? Most of the people on Bodog are not poker players…they are gamblers. There is some gold to be mined from that site. Get to it now and remember to use my link (small repayment for me to turn you onto the site). J

Football – If anyone is paying someone for picks, please shoot yourself now. I am hitting close to 70% for the year and I do it all for free. This past weekend, I was 4-1 for the college football and 4-0 yesterday in the NFL. All of my plays are documented over at www.beatvegasodds.com. I picked up over $500 on football this week.

Fantasy Football – I won both of my league for this past week thanks to strong performances by Hines Ward and Shaun Alexander.

Summary update

Poker winning for past week: $175
I am currently playing $10 and $20 sit and go on Intertops and Bodog Poker. Haven't tried Bodog poker?? Give it a shot by clicking on the banner on the left.

College football: 1-1
Lost some juice money. More importantly, Georgia beat Florida for the first time in 7 years. Hopefully, we won't have to wait another 7 years for it to happen again.

NFL: 3-0
Go check out www.beatvegasodds.com for my complete list of play and updated record. I think I am something like 26-16. Much better than the scamdicappers out there and I do it all for free. All I ask is that you support me by signing up for an account at Bodog. One of the most important thing to do when betting on sports is to have multiple place where you can put a play so that you can shop for the best possible lines. You would be surprised at the difference that a half point here and there can make to your bankroll. Tonight I have a play on the Jets to cover the 7 points against the hapless Dolphins.
