UPDATE: Everybody and his brother said this game was going to be close. I thought otherwise and I was right. Only problem is I bet on the wrong team. But anything I would of bet today would of lost. One of those days.

Today I am back on the Lang Fade Train. Mr. Lang has 75 dimes on Michigan State, so I am jumping on Ohio State here at home. I like this play a lot. This is my only bet today, I have 8.25% of my bankroll at risk on this game. Good luck to you whatever you bet today.

Guest handicapper Indian Cowboy gives us an update. Indian Cowboy's paid pick in college basketball is Florida -12.5 over Tennessee. Indian Cowboy likes the Ohio State Buckeyes at home as his free pick. Indian Cowboy is 18-2 now on his paid picks. For me I like both his paid pick and his free pick, but am betting on just one game, Ohio State -9:
Thanks Blogger! Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome GoFalcons!
ReplyDeleteDo you still like IC's Florida pick. Just wanted your opinion. You can't go wrong with 18-2 the last 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteGus: If I had to bet that game I would for sure go with Florida. I would not go against the cowboy. Good luck to you Gus!
ReplyDeleteBlogger, is this the biggest bet youve made?
ReplyDeleteFoyboy: No, I bet $9,249 on the 49ers. That was a loss to the Giants. I am jinxed here in that I can't seem to break the $100,000 profit level. When you bet big you got to pick a game where there is a lot of action. This game between Ohio State and MSU is certainly that. The public and the touts seem all over Michigan State. I can hardly wait till this game starts. Although I like Florida -12 1/2 over Tennessee, this could be a low scoring game. For me, I just can't pull the trigger on giving up that many points on this day game. Your opinion is just as good as mine on these games. I am just a crazy gambler!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either, since I'm a Buckeye fan!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback.
By the way, like 9 points isn't a lot of points. Lol! Just had to mess with you, gotta have a little fun.
ReplyDeleteGus: Well we are both Buckeye fans today. Go Ohio State!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck,
ReplyDeleteyou bet cash in vegas right? So you are actually walking in to a casino with 8k? Thats funny, I do it all online so i think it loses some of that , "Oh shit i just gave them 8k, factor"
Foyboy: I am getting sick here. Waiting is killing me. What pisses me off is looking at my Portland losing tickets, which I lost by what the NBA said was a bad call by the referee. The whole idea is not to have any losing tickets. When I first bet back in the seventies all the tickets were written by hand. They did not have big sports books in the casinos like they do now. Places like The Turf Club in Reno have long since closed up. Those places were full of guys smoking cigars in funny sports jackets betting horses and sports. A mob guy and handicapper named Lefty Rosenthal who ran the now defunct Stardust for the boys back East came up with the idea of today's modern sports book, opened up to the rest of the casino (see the movie Casino - Lefty was played by Robert DeNiro). The advantage to betting in Las Vegas is you can shop around. I never bet more than $2,200 on any one ticket. So I have several tickets on this game. The cash is organized by paperclips. One clip is equal to 20 hundred dollar bills. I go to one casino where I will bet the opposite side of the game I am betting on sometimes for $55 or $110. A friend of mine shows up and wants to know what I am betting on. I show him my $110 ticket and he always roots for the other side. We drink too much and I always look disgusted after I lose my ticket, tearing it up in little pieces, lol. I would never trust an offshore sports book. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, One of my bucket list things is to bet 10k, on a game in vegas and watch it drunk in the sports book. Probablly this summer.
ReplyDeleteCasino is my top 3 movies.
Foyboy: Casino is based on a true story, Lefty Rosenthal and Tony Spilotro, both who are dead now.
ReplyDeleteDid Tony really get batted to death and buried alive.... Sorry about OSU today man, I took Vandy plus 5.5 looks like the squares are having a good day. so ill probably be losing today too
ReplyDeleteFoyboy: Good luck with the Commodores today! No big loss with Tony, they think he was responsible for 22 murders. From wiki -
ReplyDeleteIn January 1986, a meeting was held at the Czech Lodge in North Riverside. Most of the upper echelon was there, including Tony Accardo. He had decided to appoint Joseph Ferriola as boss. Ferriola told the group that Accardo would stay on as consigliere and would have final say, as well as Gus Alex staying head of the connection guys. He then went onto the first problem: Spilotro, and how things had gone down since he took over Vegas. Rocco Infelice said, "Hit him." Everyone else at the meeting was in agreement. Joe Ferriola closed the meeting with, "OK, that's it, I got nothin' else."
It is suspected that Spilotro and his brother Michael were called by Samuel Carlisi to a meeting at a hunting lodge owned by Spilotro's former mob boss, Joey Aiuppa. Original reports stated the Spilotros were savagely beaten and buried alive in a cornfield in Enos, Indiana. They were identified by their brother Pasquale, Jr. through dental x-ray records. However, in 2007, mob assassin Nicholas Calabrese testified at the "Operation Family Secrets" trial in Chicago that the brothers were killed in a Bensenville, Illinois, basement where the Spilotros believed that Michael would be inducted into The Outfit. According to court testimony, when Tony entered the basement and realized what was about to occur, he asked if he could "say a prayer".
An autopsy performed on the recovered bodies allegedly found sand in the brothers' lungs, leading FBI examiners to speculate that they had been buried alive. Subsequent testimony proved they were killed in a basement and their bodies later dumped in a grave. No arrests were made until April 25, 2005, when 14 members of the Chicago Outfit (including reputed boss James Marcello) were indicted for 18 murders, including the Spilotros'. As a result of that investigation, the murders of the Spilotro brothers are now thought to have taken place in DuPage County, Illinois — in Joseph Aiuppa's hunting lodge, where they were beaten and strangled before being buried in a cornfield alongside Highway 41 in northwest Indiana. At the time of Spilotro's murder, Aiuppa was in prison, but Spilotro must have thought the building was still in use as a hunting lodge.
The suspected murderers included caporegime Albert Tocco from Chicago Heights, Illinois, who was sentenced to 200 years after his wife Betty testified against him in 1989. She claimed that the day after the Spilotro murders, she was called to pick up Tocco 1 mi (1.6 km) from where the brothers' bodies would later be found. She said that Tocco was dressed in dirty blue work clothes. Betty Tocco further implicated Nicholas "Nicky" Guzzino, Dominic "Tootsie" Palermo and Albert "Chickie" Rovero in the Spilotro brothers' murders. Tocco died at the age of 77 in an Indiana prison on September 21, 2005.
