NFL Betting Junkie Ramblings
Can we have some more game changing Player injuries Please

"If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm."
Vince Lombardi

Well my fedoras firmly fixed in place and I'm now ready go about writing what I have alluded to from the beginning. But first let me take you back for just a bit in time and explain why I'm here in Cincinnati and why all this about online betting.

In 1999 I followed a beautiful young lady some 14 years my Junior back to the Midwest. Now first off, I didn't go purely because of love or the fact that I didn't think that another woman of her looks would ever want a disheveled, poorly dressed, and less than perfectly groomed man such as my self.
But there was also the fact that I HATED Las Vegas. I was either holed up in the house with my buddies drinking and what not or God forgive me, seeking solace from the bells whistles sirens and the constant clatter of coins hitting tin cans, by going to the closest TGIF's simply because there were no slot machines.
I mean I'm really not kidding when I say that we would drop 3, 4, 500 bucks a visit in bar tabs BEFORE going "Out on the town". So it was not the greatest of places for a man with a penchant for the booze a gambling habit...

I know it's cliche but Las Vegas truly does earn the saying, "it's a great place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.

So I found myself in Cincinnati, with a beautiful young bride and a starvation for the Sportsbooks and not a Casino with a Sportsbook to be found. How on earth would I feed this demon. I tried finding a booky, but with out very many connections in town that was easier said than done. But then I discovered the Internet once again and found a completely different world. But again I digress...

Coming up next, my veiws on the games this week as well as an injury report that might be worth a read for those NFL Gambling Junkies. It's uber-post time...
