You've got good taste Jib, those are two of my favorite movies of the year. For the rest of the nose-breathing cinema crowd, I also strongly recommend a movie called "Calvary". Absolutely amazing...

Grrr... I want to go huge because that's such a great line but there's no way I can wait that long.

Quoted for truth. Did you guys see the movie Her? She single-handedly carried that movie with her voice alone.

Dammit... I love both Christopher Nolan movies and MM so I was hoping it would be good.

On the movie front, I saw Dear White People yesterday... pretty underwhelmed. I don't know what the Rotten Tomato critics are smoking that they scored it so high.

Also, I agree that it won't be a wipeout, but I also don't think the dems will win.

Holy balls... you ain't lyin'. Was that an early line or was that at the close? Romney never had a chance that election.

Yeah... as a bit of a political buff, I think that line is trending for a reason. The Democrats are definitely on the ropes this time around.

I'm curious, where does one discover "sharp" plays? All three of those dogs are viable to some degree... but the odds don't begin to incentivise action to the extent that I'd be willing to take the...

I'm a liar. -5.5 at Sportbet.

That game looked like a toss-up to me, but good luck. What else you got? Specifically, I'd like to know where you disagree with my plays.

What are you on?

I gotcher NFL plays suhn.

Cardinals, Lions, Seahawks, Browns, Cowboys, Ravens, and Bills.

Various spreads (nothing more than -5 except for Seahawks -7).

Can you link to the post? I'm curious.

Cardinals won't win the World Series at -1400 is free money as far as I'm concerned.

Giants beat the Cardinals at -1000 is 95% free money.

So, I made 19 units betting football this weekend. You think I'd be happy, right? Wrong. All I can think about is how I'd be up 120 or so if the Packers had covered a 6 point spread.

Gambling...

Deadwood, Sopranos, and The Wire... never forget. These three shows were on an entirely different level.

Eh, I think AP definitely plays.

Pfff, I didn't. Said my info wasn't valid (I just signed up). Now I feel like a sucker because I sold out my info for 8 bucks worth of pizza that I didn't even get.

That's the bitch of it, right? We all understand and accept the concept of variance, bad beats, etc. but it only seems to go one way... and that truly puzzles ( and obviously irritates) me.

That game was absolutely painful. Sorry Nunya (and anyone else who tailed). I think that bet clears 9/10... but it sure didn't happen today. Whoever was talking about the lows being so much worse...

7-2 in the 6th, 7-9 after the 7th... what is this bs.

You guys should look into taking the Giants over the Rockies today. The Giants are hot right now having won their last six (three of those were against the Rockies, the other three were brutal...

Sweet. The only play I made (a porlay bet that the Colbert Report would win and OITNB would not) just cashed. Five whole units baby!

Step off, suhn. I don't even like that show, but you ain't getting anywhere near the name all the same.

I don't know man, I'm not sure you're really the one to give advice like that. Of all the random forum names that consistently appear on my monitor, I'd honestly say yours is the one I associate...

Do NOT penetrate me Mickelson. I am now officially... concerned. This shit is intense.

Man, if Mickelson wins I am so screwed.

Exactly, which is why it makes sense to bet all three front runners at -353. Closest thing I've seen to a lock in some time.

To further muddy the water, I also just put a half unit on Weisberger at +1375. I don't care if he's not a household name, for a guy who's sitting one stroke back after 3 days of golf that line is...

Oh I definitely made a mistake earlier. That much is undeniable. 10 units for me represents 10% of my bankroll as well as the ceiling in terms of personal restrictions for any one play. I don't...

All right golf guys, help me out here. I got a little greedy and ended up betting a total of just under ten units that neither Rory or Mickelson would end up winning the PGA tour at -119. That was...

Took the dodgers +1 over the brewers for the contest. If you guys are betting golf, you should look to fade Tiger against Mickelson today. He's coming off of back surgery and played like crap...

Any of you meatheads tracking the Tour de France? If not, you should look into taking Nibali over Valverde at -160 for stage 16. Nibali is the front runner and currently has almost five minutes...

How do you figure that? Not that it really matters. I have no interest in the prizes and it's not worth the trouble to sell them.

I like to look at freeroll money as lottery money that I can...

I also hit the 5 streak for the second time yesterday. Got the email again today. Winning multiple times is definitely allowed. Nothing special about the prizes though, they're all worth ~40. I...

Well, there's the 11. I'll take my medicine, but that's a tough pill to swallow. ~6 units of well-crafted parlays just went up in smoke on a bet that should have cleared by a mile. The worst part...

7 runs in the 4th... sweating this waaaaay more than I'd intended.

I think you could also make the argument that he was distracted by the engagement. Proposing on live TV in front of the entire nation is probably enough to make a guy lose focus.

For both the contest and general betting purposes, you guys should play the under 11 for tonight's Rockies/Dodgers game. That total is way too high. If you add each team's last ten game's together...

So, I just tried to become a "pro" so I could use my betpoints for something... apparently the only way to do so is to donate $100+ to one of two charities?!? Is that a joke? Did all you pros...

[*=center]
Official results: Joey "Jaws" Chestnut: 61 hot dogs , Matt "Megatoad" Stonie: 56, Tim "Eater X" Janus: 44.

So glad I didn't bet on the totals... 61 is way lower than expected.

Looks like my bet cashes for sure and Stonie has a shot at the upset!

This Janus dude fellow seems like quite a guy.

On August 28, 2013, the sports website Deadspin released a video of Tim's attempt to become, in his words, "the first person in the history of the...

Feeling pretty good about this... line moved to -510 since I made the bet.

I'm going big. 10 units down on Stonie over Janus at -210. Limits? What limits?

Problem is... then you'd have an account with Chase (we don't get along too well, Chase and I).

Took the under in the Brewers/Blue Jays game.

Yeah, saw that a comin'. The $100 prize was way too generous relative to the difficulty of the task. Shame to see that go. Conversely, the next benchmarks didn't pay out enough relatively speaking...

Tailing you blind, Nunya. There's no way I'm putting any effort into this until I randomly get at least three in a row.

Stupid Brewers...

I had hit 4 in a row twice and 3 in a row three times before I hit 5. I also have a four win streak going in the ESPN contest at the moment as well (for whatever that's worth), but all the same I...
