Writer's block can sometimes kick in, and the end of Oct, beginning of Nov has not inspired much in the way of writing. The days count till Vegas (8 now), working on our last days of TV1 in my night class (I'll be hosting a community spotlight, which will be airing on a Downers Grove local access channel) and trying to get back into the fitness kick. All things considered, my focus is on those things in descending order. In the next week, I'll be glad to book bets for you should the need arise.
I didn't post any of my NFL picks last week, but I won $100 on the Lions and lost $66 on Houston's spread, so a winning week. I'm gonna book Virginia Tech tonight (who has been on a roll since their first two losses to open the year) and I'm giving Illinois a hard look at +3 going into Ann Arbor for Saturday action. Thank god baseball is over- not only for betting purposes, but for the simple fact that the season drags once you know your team is out of it. Baseball has very little national appeal any more in terms of people caring to watch games involving teams outside of their market. Ratings for the Giants World Series victory tied the lowest rating mark with the Phils/Rays from two years ago. Bring on basketball (and perhaps I'll get more into hockey this year).
If you think of any bets that you'd like me to book for you (or make for you), please let me know. I'll dedicate $20 bets to people on roulette and make them in the order that I receive them. If your bet comes in for me, I'll buy you a beer. I'll bet red, black, a number (or a couple), whatever. You name it, I'll bet it.
Peace out.
