I hesitate to call myself a professional gambler. Professional bettor might be more accurate.
Last week, I went four for four against the spread, which is the only thing that counts. Tomorrow, I will be wagering on both NFC-AFC match ups. Legally, of course.
I don't care two shits about who wins- my goal in life has always been to turn a profit. Here then are my picks. I like to put my money where my mouth is. Ahead of time.
NY Giants at San Francisco -2.5
The Giants bounced into Lambeau Field last week and handed GB their head. I liked that. I don't like Aaron Rodgers. I'm a Favre man. At any rate, the Giants are peaking at just the right time. Throughout my sports betting history, I can think of a number of mediocre teams that catch fire at precisely the right time. They become very dangerous teams. Having said all that and watching SF play my Saints- like champions- I am betting on San Francisco and giving the points. A team that can come back twice late- is not a team I can bet against. That type of tenacity means that even if SF loses- they will be in this game to the wire. I don't think the Giants can bring that "A" game twice. Not only is SF's offense just as good as NY's if not better, so is their defense.
I am betting 110.00 on San Francisco and giving the points.
Baltimore Ravens at NE Patriots +7.5
This is an interesting game from a betting standpoint. The Pats are the perennial gatekeepers in the AFC. To get to the big game, it seems you have to get by the Pats most of the time. I love their quarterback and their coach. I see this game as a 50-50 tilt. Seven and a half points is too much. A sucker line. I am taking the points.
The money line is +250. A straight up bet on the Ravens (100.00) to win gets you +250.00.
Here then are my plays.
110.00 on SF.
110.00 on Baltimore +7.5 points
50.00 bucks on the money line, Baltimore to win.
I might even parlay those two teams.
I can't wait until tomorrow. Nasty ass weather in Boise although it's warm. A good day to lay around and watch football.
* Update. Joe Namath took the other side of both of my bets. Now I know it's a cinch. Thanks, Joe! http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/joe-namath-playoff-blog-conference-championship-edition-024919034.html

Governments Lie, Bankers Lie, Auditors Lie, Gold Tells the Truth
Excellent video. Doing a little internet "acquistioning" this morning.
Criminal Conduct, Ala Obama and Holder, Now Being Investigated By Arizona
That Fast and Furious thing just won't go away. You have to break a lot of laws in order to enable Mexican drug cartels to buy guns in the United States.
Wouldn't it be great if these pricks who think they are above the law...get prosecuted? Probably just a fantasy. http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/jan/21/arizona-strikes-back-state-investigates-feds-over-/

Italian "Boat Driver" Runs Aground, Trips and Falls Into Life Boat, Is Saved By Divine Intervention
I cannot call this guy a Captain.
His story is so utterly insane that even the media labels it that way. You cannot make this shit up. http://news.yahoo.com/cruise-captain-says-tripped-lifeboat-couldnt-153914621--abc-news.html

Finally... Men Can Relax Regarding That G-Spot Thing, It Is a Myth
The G Spot does not exist. http://news.yahoo.com/g-spot-science-cant-60-years-study-says-155202501.html
All that searching was in vain. Who are we to disagree with the experts?
That's the same thing our government says about UFOs and the same conclusions atheists use in determining the presence of God. The evidence is in. We have reached a conclusion. The G Spot, UFOs, and God do not exist. Trust us, we know everything. We are the experts.
Heh.

Mitt Romney Is the Elite Choice, Just Ask Andrea Saul, Now Shut Up and Vote*Updated
Business as usual.
If you don't want Romney, the elite default setting is Obama. Absolutely everything you need to know about Romney. http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/78582788
Before he died, George Carlin could not figure out why the American people voted for candidates that represented nobody's interests but the rich and elite. Neither can I.
The rich and elite, the status quo of this country, control the unveiling of candidates. They decide who the President is going to be because they control the nominees. That is why every election year we all trudge to the polls, pissed because we have two terrible choices. Voting for the lesser evil.
Of course, that is what is going to happen again. That is not coincidence. That's the way the status quo want it. They want certainty. They do not want some loose cannon in there that represents the middle class. They want a couple of proven schmucks that won't upset their tax holiday apple cart.
I have embedded the following story about Mitt Romney. Please read the third paragraph. http://news.yahoo.com/details-vast-personal-fortune-trail-romney-075520731.html
I don't mind that Romney is rich. What I do mind is that he is an elite tax dodger like the rest of his class. Romney has Cayman Island investments. The Cayman Islands is a tax dodge. A place to hide money. That third paragraph is huge. Candidates get spokespeople so that they don't have to lie directly to the public. Spokespeople are verbal bodyguards. Their job is to fall on a sword for their bosses.
Note that third paragraph again. Romney's Cayman Island investments are "managed on a blind basis" according to his campaign spokesperson. Note that Ms. Saul used an "email" to say this. Romney simply turns his money over to someone else who stuck it in the Caymans. The interpretation is leading the reader to make an assumption and conclusion. Read- it's not his fault!
That is an outright lie. Total bullshit. Professional bankers find ways to create and preserve wealth. Dodging taxes is nearly a full time occupation for them. The entire tax code was created by the wealthy and elite for the wealthy and elite. Romney's money is in the Cayman Islands because Romney wanted it there.
The spokesperson? A liar. Managing Romney's image. Employed for that very reason. Andrea Saul was a campaign cheerleader for John McCain in 2008. She was only 26! Her background, prep school and Vanderbilt, just oozes elite. It doesn't hurt that she is young and very attractive. Of course. Here's a good snip about her even though I never cared much for liars. Even attractive ones. http://daltondailycitizen.com/local/x488824047/Daltons-Andrea-Saul-working-on-McCain-campaign
Andrea Saul smacks elite and you wonder just how 26 year old kids help manage Presidential campaigns. Think that is a fluke? Here Andrea's elite daddy, Julian Saul. http://www.floordaily.net/flooring-news/Shaws_Julian_Saul_Heads_Group_in_Resort_Purchase.aspx
It's one big elite club and you ain't in it. The grooming has begun for Andrea. I guess we all can't have rich daddys and pretend we made our own breaks in the world.
Romney has vowed to disclose his tax return yet he hasn't done so yet. Instead he "leaks" that he only paid 15% in taxes last year. Imagine that. A wealthy tax dodger. A professional banker with hundreds of millions paying less in taxes than every worker in this country.
Check this piece out. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/mitt-romneys-millions-cayman-island-offshore-tax-havens
Mitt Romney is a fantastic example of everything that is wrong with this country. He is wealthy and elite. He represents the status quo. He is a professional banker with five mansions. He is not indecisive he just appears to be as he tries to cast a large net that appeals to everyone. He is not out of touch. He is absolutely in touch. He knows precisely who he REALLY represents. And that's not the saps in the net.
Why do we vote for guys like this? Because that's who the elite selected for us. It's a game for suckers who think they have a choice. The elite stole this election, just like the last one, months before we even had the election. Greedy bastards. All that's left now is the mad scramble for the exits as the U.S. tries to figure out who is going to pay this 16.2 trillion debt. Clearly it ain't gonna be Romney and his elite buddies- parked in the Caymans.
