This is a great response. Everyone on here says Robert's a great guy and I'm buying. You're an awesome sport and I bet he is too, he gained a fan today. I'll be rooting for him.
I implore you all to put on the Red Sox game, they have this dude Robert Stock pitching, and he looks like he's twice-divorced and completely given up on life. I can't stop watching him. It's transfixing.
After Ben explained away the dirty hits with "AFC North football.", that's gonna be my excuse for everything now.

20th current park, 26th overall. It's amazing here. I'd only put PNC behind Wrigley 🐐 and AT&T (and it's very close). Find me at the game and I'll buy you an IC just like this one.

I own my screw-ups.
I lost a lot of money on the Chargers tonight.
If you lost money on the Chargers because you followed me, I'm sorry.
These things happen, and it's why they call it gambling and not giving money away.
I think my favorite thing about sports betting is:
When I lose a game by a point, it's because I'm unlucky...but when I win by a point, it's because I'm smart.
Every damn time.
Clown like this: (exists)
Public: "OMG DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY"
Me: "No. He's a clown."
Public: "NO HE'S CHANGING THE GAME"

Clown: (busts out)
Public SHOULD say: "wow maybe we should pump the brakes on guys like this"
Public actually: (finds new clown)
JUST IN: New Trier grad Rob Gorodetsky made a name for himself as a maverick in the Las Vegas sports betting scene, with a seemingly bottomless bankroll and the guts to lay it all on the line. Now, federal charges in Chicago say it was all a mirage.

“I will enter your home as you sleep and kill you”

David Ortiz: PED guy, really good baseball player, nice to reporters: Hall of Fame
Barry Bonds: PED guy, literally better at every single aspect of baseball than Ortiz, not nice to reporters: outside looking in
What an absolute joke the HOF is. Straight trash organization.
If you had started with $100 at the beginning of the 2016 preseason and rolled it over on the Ravens moneyline every preseason game since then, you would now have $0.

Twitter friends:
Don't be afraid to tell people you're not OK. A lot of us are losing a lot of things, and sports are somewhere we've always gone for escape.
Be there for your friends, and let them be there for you. It's OK to talk. It's OK to not be OK. It's OK to need help.

tweet from earlier and checking out his Twitter, I'm totally sold on the guy. I have a new favorite non-Cub now. Throw that heat, big man!
Why do I not tweet pictures of winning betting tickets? Not only is it deceiving (without seeing the losing tickets, you know nothing of my ROI), but it also gives touts the opportunity to claim those tickets as their own, and use them for marketing purposes.
Thing I'll never understand:
Why so many people can't accept the fact that "Georgia is substantially better than Notre Dame" and "Notre Dame deserves to be in the playoffs over Georgia" are not mutually exclusive statements.

ESPN just said in their Vegas history package that gambling expanded north from Fremont Street to the Strip.
Is it that hard to hire a fact checker who can hold a map right side up?
Now up to TWENTY games in a row.
If the Dolphins' opposing QB has an O in their last name, Dolphins win.
If the Dolphins' opposing QB does not have an O in their last name, Dolphins lose.
Next week: BUF and Josh Allen. Wager accordingly.
Ladies, if he:
- constantly disappoints you
- makes you wish it was 13 years ago
- keeps promising to be better but never delivers
- can't grasp Brad Underwood's system
He's not your man. He's Illinois basketball.
If you were to line up all the white guys in D-I basketball and tell me that one of them was named Ot Elmore, I'm almost certain I could look at them and guess right on the first try.
Anyways, here's my somewhat nuanced take on the Ridley situation:
Do I think Ridley did anything *wrong* in the sense of hurting the game's integrity? No.
Do I think the "No players gambling on NFL games" rule is v. important w/regard to optics and the punishment is just? Yes.
If you had taken $100 in 1961 and invested it in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, only taking it out to bet the entire amount on USC to beat Oregon State straight up each time they played in L.A., you would now have (adjusted for inflation) $0.
This is equivalent to a doctor treating a patient for a broken finger, a fever, and a mildly strained hamstring while completely ignoring the fact that they have stage 3 cancer.

Honestly never seen a tournament even close to this. Kansas is best but they're VERY vulnerable. March is gonna be fuuuuuuun.

To answer the Bama/Bills question I was asked in the DMs:
If Bama played the Bills, but Bama also got the addition of an "unblockable" two-year-old gorilla, I make it Bills -16.5.
Gotta think they'd figure out misdirection schemes to adjust.
(Yes, I actually got asked this.)
