"Just remember....it's not a lie, if you believe it."                         - George Constanza One of the greatest quotes from one of the greatest characters from one of the greatest shows of all time. And these days, it really does feel like the theme of how so many are living their lives. This especially rings true in the sports betting space. Every time we step into the chaos that is Gambling Twitter, we find ourselves face to face with people that are spewing the same shit, day after day. I guess it's not the worst thing - contributors have to reinforce their brand and what they stand for. But when they're spewing nonsense and have the chance to influence others with this nonsense, well, it just wears us down faster than usual. Some of it goes unchecked, some of it gets constant pushback.  If someone continues to speak something into existence, and we continue to let it go unchecked, people start nodding al...

I have many, many terrible qualities. I don't always follow through with things after I've deemed them unimportant (lol I said I was going to write 1-2 blogs per week), even if others do still find the thing important. I hold grudges - forever. I've written this before, but I have an incredibly detailed memory. I believe in forgiving, but never forgetting. Which eventually ends with very short-lived forgiveness. I hold others to unrealistic standards when it comes to things like attention to detail and timeliness. Those are two qualities I value deeply, and I expect others to show me the same courtesy. When they don't, I don't handle it as well as I should. But above all, my worst quality is how much I enjoy someone else having to eat crow. I absolutely love it. When someone was up on their soapbox acting "holier than thou" and being so morally superior to everyone else, only to find out they aren't any different than you or me, well.....it just warms ...

The year was 2007. The first iPhone was released, Drew Carey was taking over The Price is Right for the legendary Bob Barker (RIP), and one of the first viral videos was making the rounds on YouTube. 2 girls, 1 cup quickly became an internet sensation - not just for the horrific content that was produced in that short clip, but also for the reactions of people being filmed watching the video for the first time. No, I will not be linking the video as I do not wish to make it easier for anyone to find such a scarring display of fetishes. However, if you'd like to take a trip down memory lane, or are part of a younger demo and missed out on what the early YouTube days were like, go do a quick search and ruin your day. Come back and finish reading when you've regrouped. Author's Note: I have to admit that I've never actually watched the clip. I'm very aware of what happens in the clip. I'm 100% confident I would puke all over my keyboard. Please do not think lesser ...

Hello. I love the sports betting industry - it has everything a bettor could possibly want. Shady characters mixed with brilliant minds. Scumbag touts trying to sell you defective products mixed with intriguing individuals that could have used their skills to contribute more to society. Wannabe winners mixed with some of the most financially successful bettors you'll find anywhere in the world. The sports betting industry is a constantly evolving ecosystem, and yet, most of the people involved in the industry are saying and doing the same shit every single day. It's beautiful and mind numbing, all at once. Our ecosystem, full of terribleness and it's own unique charm, has grown stale. We see and hear the same voices telling us what to watch, how to bet, what we should be focusing on, what tools we should be using, etc. Every piece of content focuses on the same, used up topics. You know why? The dirty little secret in sports betting is that there's just not that much to...
