Gambling.com group? More like scumbags.com group.

 Title of Blog is a work in progress. Before we dive into this nonsense, I want to make a few things clear: I don't expect any of this to make an actual difference.  If you go through life thinking there are going to be consequences for bad actors, I got some beachfront property to sell you in Topeka. If we've learned anything, it's that these scumbags will probably find a way to get rewarded for their scumbaggery. Please don't respond with "yeah no shit Ferris, of course the gambling.com group is terrible, what a waste of time."  Do not tell me how to waste my time. Earlier this week, I spent 2.5 hours watching the movie Sinners.  I will choose how I waste my time, thank you. I really do care about fellow sports bettors, especially those in Ohio.  I'm super sarcastic. I don't take many things seriously. But the deck is already overwhelmingly stacked against sports bettors. Can we not do things to make the situation worse? Can the people/companies that...

Stream of Consciousness

I wanted to write a free-flowing blog that kind of bounced all over the place, but I’m just not wired like that. So you’re getting a blog filled with a lot of random thoughts, but still has some connecting themes throughout, like personal stuff, betting stuff, and stuff I want to do in the future.

That title sucks. It’s too wordy and not clever. Actually, the more you think about it, the movie Jerry Maguire kind of sucks. But fun fact - you can read the full manifesto Jerry wrote that night here . I woke up at 4:00 AM this morning because I had this weird dream that my child started talking in complete sentences at 2 months old and started running around at 4 months old. For those of you who live an awesome life and do whatever you want all the time haven’t had kids yet, those milestones don’t happen ne...

Bet Bash Primer

  I will not be at Bet Bash this year. It's a combination of the event getting a little stale, children, and work. I am a part-timer when it comes to betting, so I must continue to fulfill my regular duties of educating the youth of America, at least for another 24 years. I'm sure the time will fly right by. I'm not sure saying Bet Bash is "stale" is the right way to put it. I remember flying home last year thinking to myself "That was a blast. In fact, I'm still pretty drunk right now. But man, I didn't learn a damn thing the past 3 days." And that's where I think Bet Bash finds itself - caught between educating new bettors, while not being able to provide enough learning opportunities for seasoned bettors. Don't get me wrong - you should be attending the event if you have even the smallest connection to the sports betting world. However, every year attendance might be hard to justify. I think most of the seasoned bettors and the multi-y...
