Slow NFL news day…

but everyday is in the off season.

Jerry Jones is building a new stadium and spending a lot of money. yawn.

Carson Palmer said the he is going to show up to the Cincinnati Bengals’ training camp. Good. That’s what he should do. And does this really surprise anyone?

Sunday night football games (not including the Super Bowl, but I bet this fits in the same category) are the least DVRed big ratings show on TV. Meaning that a lot of people tune in and they don’t record the game to watch later, they watch it live. Well this is good news for the NFL and it’s advertisers. Odds are people watch more adds during these games that during American Idol or other prime time shows. Now you can see why the NFL started the Sunday night game. Of course it sucks on the East Coast… Especially if you start drinking during the 1 pm games.

The Super Bowl kinda sucks on the East Coast too. It’s the biggest game of the year, and everyone goes out to watch it… But most people have work on Monday. I really wish that the NFL would move the Super Bowl up to 4 pm or so.  This would still be 1 pm on the West Coast and it might be a little early for Hawaii and Alaska, but who gives a shit about those places? Trust me NFL, move the Super Bowl up a few hours and the East Coast would appreciate it.

That are still talking about legalizing sports betting in New Jersey. If you would like them too, please email you congressmen and ask that they support legalizing sports betting country wide…

But Sen. Jeff Van Drew, D-Cape May, said a conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court could favor states’ rights.

“It is very difficult to understand how sports book could technically be legal in four states but not in 46 others,” Van Drew said.

Another day, another hangover

Went out drinking last night with some people that were in town. I like drinking and eating and partying on the weekends, but it really kills my Sundays. I lay on the couch all day and don’t feel like doing anything. In fact writing this post is probably the most productive thing that I’ve done all day, and it’s after 8pm…

Anyway, I just checked my ranking and links on yahoo, and this site is back on the first page for – Bet the Super Bowl – Yeah! It’s been a while, but I’ll take this as a good sign, and keep working on and writing on this site. After all, it looks like I’m getting a few more links, which is encouraging.

Tampa Bay signed Jemery Stevens, but are tying to cover up his criminal record. On their message boards, they will now ban anyone talking about or linking to records of his past criminal history. Stevens has been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, marijuana possession, sexual assault and drunk driving. Not a clean a background…

Talking NFL Football and the more Super Bowl stuff

Yes, sir. I’m back again tonight. I just ordered a Tuna Melt, so I’m going to write until it comes. I guess the length of this post all depends on the chefs and delivery boy at my local deli.

So in Football news Javon Walker now loves the Denver Broncos vs Oakland Raiders rivalry. It seems a little late in his career to just get this, huh? Maybe he finally likes it now because Oakland sucks. Although they have sucked for years, but it doesn’t look like they will be turning it around this year.

Speaking of the Raiders, Michael Bush (one of their 200 running backs) has now fully healed and is read to lose 5 yards a carry regularly this year. That is until he is injured in week 5… and they cut next year.

Senator Arlen Specter is still going nuts about Spygate… now… after the 2007 season ended… and the New England Patriots played in the Super Bowl… It seems a little late to have his panties all twisted, but hey, I guess he hates Boston. I think most people do.

Personally, I would love to see Spygate blow the hell up. Senate investigations about how the Patriots were cheating when they won all those Super Bowls. Bill Belichick disgraced and run out of the NFL for life. Tom Brady losing endorsements. The news! The fanfare! The hoopla about some REAL cheating. Some REAL cheating that isn’t about drugs or mistresses. God, that scandal would be fun.

I could be like Michael Vick all over again. Bloggers would go nuts. There would be Youtube videos made. The sports talk shows would go crazy. Every team that lost the Super Bowl to the Patriots would demand that they be compensated. Players on these teams would look for more money. Some might sue. It would be a disaster for the NFL, and I’m sure that that is why they are covering it up as best they can. I sure hope that that Senator blows this thing up!

My damn phone was ringing and I thought it was my food… not yet, but I think I’m going to stop writing anyway… I know, I know, I’m such a liar. But I’m sitting here with no pants on… not like that I just took my work clothed off any haven’t…

Check that. Now my food is here. Peace.

Want an ad during the Super Bowl? We bet you don’t

Super Bowl adds for the 2009 game have now hit $3 million for a 30 second slot. That is an 11% increase over last year, and I think ridiculous. It’s not like FOX’s $2.7m per ad was cheap, but NBC is going to make a killing this year. Can I get a WNBC Howard Stern fans?

The NBA finals are looking for rating, and some say that they are trying to grab “Super Bowl like numbers”. Well, I say good luck NBA, but there is no way in hell you’ll come close. Even with a game 7. That’s right no fucking way.

The NFL is much more popular the NBA, and even with 2 big city teams, there is no way that basketball can compete with football. So you’ll probably get big draws in Boston and Los Angeles, but I was talking to a few people at work today (medium sports fan) and both said that they might watch a game if they saw it on. Neither had any interest in going and looking for the games, and both didn’t even know that the series starts tonight.

Maybe if the NBA is counting the viewers for all games and matching that up against all the Super Bowl viewers, they might be close, but there is no way that the world tunes in to watch single NBA finals game. The world simply doesn’t care enough. I’m also sure that plenty of Boston fans will be going between the finals and the Red Sox games during commercials.

So that’s it for tonight. Next time I’ll probably be back to talking about football again. See ya.

This site is gaining ground…

sometimes., it’s now #2 on google for “bet the Super Bowl”. It’s number 1 for “bet the NFL Super Bowl”… but it has been for a while. It also ranks great in MSN for all kinds of Super Bowl betting related searches. Yahoo is my biggest disappointment. This site was the first hit at the last Super Bowl and has since lost a lot of ranking at Yahoo. I think it got hit with some kind of penalty. I deleted all kinds of pages to try to get it back, and I think I ended up doing more damage than good. Doing a yahoo search of my site, 51 pages rank better than my homepage. That is terrible!

Anyway, like I say every post, there is a lot of time until the nest Super Bowl. That leaves me a ton of time to get my ranking back, and just me I’m trying… After all, this site has it all. A good domain name, a lot of links, history, new content (although this isn’t really sports betting related), and most importantly a motivated webmaster that will not let this site sink into the oblivion of the Internet.

I have tickets to the Yankee game tomorrow, but I’m giving them away to a friend. Work has been kicking my ass recently, and I really need to be able to work late tomorrow if I need to. Also my girl is outta town, and I would usually go with her… Also the Yankees kinda suck now… Also I enjoy being lazy during the week… Also I had a crazy weekend and I think the next one will be a little nuts too…

It’s the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, and I’m going. I have friends in from out of town for it and the US Argentina soccer game next Sunday. House guests…

Anyway, don’t feel like writing much more. I think that this is enough for tonight. Remember to check back here during the football season for update Super Bowl odds and bets. Thanks!

Jose Canseco vs the 45 year old & Super Bowl Odds

Yeah, Canseco 45 year old football player who has been out of the game for years… This fight will suck, but I still have ringside seats of this event in Atlantic City.

Not much else worth talking about. It’s still months and months away from the Super Bowl…

The draft changed the odds for betting a winner for the next Super Bowl in 2009, but not on anyone major. The top teams are still favorites, and the biggest move was for long shot teams like the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure the Chiefs drafted 7 of the first 105 draft picks, so the sports books had to change the odds on them winning the Super Bowl, but they are still a 90-1 shot at BoDog (down from 125-1).

I just read an article about how this was such a big move, but come on, no one was betting KC to win the Super Bowl before, and no one is betting them now. Only real gamblers (who live in KC) might be betting this team, but gamblers in Maimi might be betting the Dolphins regardless of the odds.

Moves in the other direction were on the Texans (60/1 to 80/1) were people didn’t like their picks and the Browns (28/1 to 40/1) who didn’t draft a player until the 4th round this year…

Lastly, the Giants finally got there Super Bowl rings this week. Good for them.

Betting baseball vs betting football

Watching Jon and Kate plus 8… I couldn’t imagine having that many kids. And all at the same age, it’s crazy. I realized today that they are only 30. Hey I’m 30, and their life is completely different from mine…

Anyway, I’m watching this and the Mariners/Red Sox game. So far that game is kind of boring. 0-0 at the end of 2. I’m rooting for Seattle cause I put a small bet on them. Tagging along with the Sports Bettor. I’m not really thrilled with this bet, but hey, those are the ones I usually win. That and I like the girl on that sports betting blog, so I’m rolling with the bet.

Betting baseball can be fun, but I’d much rather bet on football… and bet on the Super Bowl. I mean baseball is so slow, and there are so many games, it seems like anything can happen. Because of the number of games, each game is less important in baseball than it is in football. Injured star players will rest for a few games in baseball, when they won’t in football because every game in the NFL counts. Sure baseball games count, but just not as much. It’s a big difference between playing 16 and over 100 games a season.

Most gamblers prefer to bet on football too. Sure gamblers bet on baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. but football is the number 1 bet sport in America, probably because of the short season. It’s so easy to watch football, an if your a fan, it’s easy to watch every game your team plays. It only takes 3 to 4 hours a week to root for an NFL team, but it takes much longer to watch every game of a team in another sport.

It’s much easier to be a football fan than a fan of any other sport. This convenience is probably why it is so popular, but also why so many people bet this sport. They watch a few games over the first few weeks and think that they know enough to pick winners. And that’s why there is so much action on the NFL.

The Super Bowl is still months away…

and the summer is here.

They are talking about legalizing sports betting in Atlantic City again. And I for one think that this would be great! Imagine being able to legally bet on sports in 2 different US cities, not just Las Vegas. If AC gets sports gambling, people on the East Coast will have a great place to go to bet on the Super Bowl, March Madness, whatever.

Of course the major sports will fight to keep sports betting in AC outlawed. Why? Because the NFL likes to live in denial. Denial that most people watch games ONLY because they bet on it in one way or another. People bet the games straight up, with a spread, the total, in office pools, in fantasy football, and lots of other ways. The soul reason that football and the NFL are so popular in because people bet on the games. It is a short season, so each game has a large amounts of money on it.

Monday Night Football – This is the game where people who win or lose over the weekend can place a bet to try to win more or get back to even. That is why this game is sooo popular. Why else would someone on the west coast watch the Eagles vs Miami on a Monday night? No one would… But a lot do in Las Vegas and across the rest of the country because they have a little action on it.

The NFL should wake up and realize that sports betting is good for it. Their is a reason that the Super Bowl is the most heavily bet game every year, and it’s because people love to bet football. If it was impossible to bet on the NFL a lot of people would lose interest, but every office pool and bookie, gets people a little more interested.

Anyway, I would love it if they legalized Atlantic City Sports Betting.

Just wrote a banging post for pre-Super Bowl

In fact, I think that is was soooo good that I’m going to save it until a few weeks before the Super Bowl. It was all about Las Vegas and betting on the NFL Super Bowl, and it can’t stear me wrong in holding it until next January to drop that Golden Nugget on the internet. After all, whenever I write about Las Vegas, I’m writing about Sports Betting.

Sports Betting in Las Vegas is the main reason that the city fills up a few weekends a year. Good Luck trying to book a room on Super Bowl weekend and March Madness weekend for a reasonable rate. Those are probably 2 of the best weekends to visit Las Vegas, unless you are there for a big fight or New Years.

The gambling capitol of the United States… You have to love Las Vegas.Â
