  So this is my first "guest blog" as Broner reached out and asked if I would have any interest in publishing something written by someone less funny and less clever than yours truly. Although the time of year when it's good to help those less fortunate has come and gone, I decided I still had some charity left in me. Everything written below is the work of Broner. You can follow him @bronerp4p. I know, the tag is really stupid. I think it has something to do with boxing, which was cool like 30 years ago. He should have picked something way more relevant and hip, like a movie from the 80's. Also, how stupid is it that I tagged his Twitter as if the person reading this doesn't already follow him? The only people that read this shit are gambling Twitter participants and already know who he is. It's like when Field Yates retweets Adam Schefter - buddy, how many people do you think follow you but not Schefter? Anyways, joking aside, I think his review is a very fa...

  "Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way..." -Frank Constanza So a few years back I decided to partake in dry January. Figured I would start off the New Year right, get in shape, take my health more seriously. The first 31 days of the year came and went, and I didn't feel a bit of difference. I was determined to get results from consciously making "good" decisions, so I kept dry January rolling straight into February. Another month comes and goes, and still nothing. My mental and physical health remain unchanged. But I was not to be deterred - we head into dry March. As all of you drunk Irishmen know, your god's day is in March. When the 17th rolled around and not drinking a drop of alcohol had yet to make one bit of difference, I indulged in the festivities.  Eventually, I ran my experience by a friend and they tol...

  The Great Tout Experiment Let's get to the boring stuff first. I was recently informed the RAS service has been evaluated enough times that no one has any interest left in it, so I don't want to beat a dead horse. I don't know, I feel like I'm pretty plugged into the sports betting landscape as far as what generally gets written about, talked about, and analyzed by other bettors. If someone could direct me to a super detailed review of RAS since, say 2018, when the entire sports betting ecosystem was turned upside down with the repeal of PASPA, I would love to see it. Would save me a lot of time and word count. Seeing as how I don't recall coming across anything like that, and sports betting is just slightly  different today, I guess I'll just keep up with this fruitless effort. Here's the RAS and Tailgate Tent records through 5 weeks of the college football season. Release day of the week records also included. RAS Tailgate Tent Thoughts so far: RAS needs...

I'm so bored. It's the middle of July, we've hit the two days in the calendar year where zero major sports are playing, and there's just nothing to do. I see that Rob and Johnny are planning a low-effort, middle of summer Q&A episode for this week's Circles Off. That'll at least kill an hour or so. Unfortunately, video games have passed me by and I can't get excited for the new NCAA release. Even though I claimed for 20 years that this day would never come and I would always love video games, I've thrown in the towel. The player base got too good, the game controls got too advanced, and obviously, other life priorities get in the way. But I'll say this much - if any of you want to bring a N64 to Bet Bash and enter the Thunderdome, I'll beat your ass in Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Perfect Dark, or Mario Party. In my boredom, I've tried to "prep" for football season by learning who plays on what team. Then I realized ...
