the 2 BEST places to bet at if you live in the US both pay by check and fed ex it to you within 2-3 days

Found out over the weekend. I officially can't find a bookie, my connections went cold. So I'm going to keep looking and sniff around online. I'll start with those two sites, do some research.
my 3rd book is Bovada.lv...they have really good lines on sports and an awesome online casino if your into that type of thing but the drawback with them is payout is 2-3 weeks but they do pay eventually

stay away from Sportsbook.com all they have is a great url that pretty much keeps them in business but the payout timetable is insane 6-8 weeks and when you request your money they leave it in your account for several days hoping you bet it back

Not sure witch, which, wench one of you I should thank but either ither way thanks for helping make the Eagles lose. It was for the greater good. The only thing better then the Eagles losing is winning money off it.

I'm sure PETA supports this post!

You can thank our whole city and the shitty karma it's accumulated. By my calculations, if we start behaving tomorrow, the Eagles might win a Superbowl in 174 years, give or take.

FOUND ONE! Just got the green light....Have all sorts of options, nice set up.

Now it's down too, do I want to get into baseball. Or what sport to start looking into. Gonna be a student of the game all over again, wished it was fucking August. Might jump in on the football divisional playoffs and maybe some Hockey.

yes

was using www.sportsinteraction.com, but they just stopped servicing U.S. customers, so I had to cash out.

they are based in Canada and I always liked em. simple to use and doesnt fuck up or slow down ur computer with ads and shit.

George Washington may have called gambling the child of avarice, the brother of iniquity, and the father of mischief, but I say there's nothing dark about enhancing a game or event with a bit of a wager. May Lady Luck smile on you. Failing that, my German grandfather swore that wearing a badger tooth on your left side would guarantee success. Haven't tried that though.

I picked Green Bay's Antonio Freeman to score the first touchdown in Superbowl 32 vs the Denver Broncos and I am a Bronco Fan. I bet a 100 at 8-1, nice payout. Hit a few other parlays over the years.
We have a 100 dollar a square football pool at a local bar that I usually play.
I am not rich by any means, but I am not betting 5 or 10 dollars on a game winner, not worth my time. When you win big money , it changes how you bet.

Denver vs SF Superbowl ???? I think it is going to happen.

I don't bet on sports anymore,I never really did win anything anyways. I play an occasional money match at pool though,mostly pocket change 10-20 bucks a set but I've played a couple of $100 dollar sets before. That's small potatoes compared to most guys but I find playing for money makes things more interesting and tests your skill & nerve more than playing for fun or on league nights. (which I also enjoy)

I have 8 more dollars in my sports book account than I had yesterday. I have no idea why. Pouring through my tickets to figure this out. I made 24 $5 bets.

£100 win. Due to it being a blowout, I retired to bed before the 4th quarter and got in in four hours sleep before I had to be up for work. A successful evening.

Should have put £5 on it :roll:

Bad call, there. The rule is if you find yourself obsessing over whether to place a bet, you do it. Every time. The loss of a few bucks is nothing compared to the pain of regret.

My next bet will be on the Rousey / McMann fight. McMann's at +325 right now. I'll likely just bet $100 on this one.

Well when you put it that way, it sounds so freakin'...... i don't know, wise! I'm listening to you when it comes to :gamblin' from here on in, caroline! And if I ever win big (more than 500k), I'll even send you a tithe! :lol:
In fact, if I ever won Powerball (totally different beast, but while we're talking fantasy), I already have a few names who post here (and elsewhere) who I plan to bring along for the ride.
