Does Earl add anchovies and jalapenos to his pizzas? West Texas, I gotta figure jalapenos but no anchovies???

He'll eat a boot as long as it has cheese and jalapenos on it.

Golf bets for this week... odds are so bad on the only book I have access to I'm not going to embarrass myself by posting them. Seems like every bet is chalk this week anyway.

To Win:
Cam Young
Ludvig Aberg
Nicolai Hojgaard
Tommy Fleetwood

Top Ten:
Chris Gotterup
J.J. Spaun
Rickie Fowler
Russell Henley

Probably need the outright winner and 1 top ten to be able to afford extra cheese and jalapenos on 1 pizza.

After only hitting 1 top 10 bet last week pizza funds are running low.

News Flash: Aberg still can't close the deal on Sunday.

Only 1 bet this week Eric Cole to win (+800).

I've been to NYC once back when I was in college. It became readily apparent the only food I could afford was a hot dog from the street vendors or pizza by the slice from hole- in- the- wall pizza joints.

To win what? His six shooter?

Sprayed and prayed on some golfers in the without Scottie market. Let's go Sungjae.

Good luck. Looks like Scottie forgot how to put again too. Should be a fun weekend.

I need Si Woo to forget how to putt again. Actually probably would like some Scottie pressure, but that's really impossible to know how that can affect anyone else.

Fresh off the heels of my Spurs 70-1 and 45-1 to title, with some Knicks futures and an even hedge to guarantee the most money I have this:

Futures play for 26-27: Lakers +3000

1. Can build a cohesive team around Luka with cap space.
2. Can trade for AD (which honestly would be beyond hilarious from an NBA story standpoint to have Luka+AD both on the Lakers).
3. Can trade for Giannis.

+6500 to -205 is 13225%. Gotta be unprecedented, though I'm certainly not though only who's hedging. 4056/6500 is 62.4%, Sagarin & some sims have Spurs about 58%, so that's another overlay of sorts.

There have to be mass firings over that line at DK, it was 45 on 10/23 & 11 on 1/11.

I do still have a $150 dinner bet pending on the Spurs against a guy who REALLY wants the Knicks to win. When I proposed it after Game 6 he said he'd give me OKC too! Classic Amarillo Slim "my favorite team is the team playing your favorite team" bit.

Yeah I got them preseason 70-1 and then 45-1 around 10/23 (too lazy to log in and check lol).

When I read that Wemby did intensive basketball cardio training combined with blitz chess, I was like yeah let me bet on THAT GUY’S team, lol.

I got Knicks preseason 10-1 and midseason 16-1.

Would’ve hated to root for Knicks with my heart and Spurs with my bank account. Plus an even hedge by taking +175 Knicks was on the table.

Made too much sense just to lock in The Profit for the One True NBA Guru Prophet!
