keep on truckin’

October 1, 2009 | 3:52 pm | evang`

Solid last week with a 3-1 mark. As predicted here, Texas Tech and Houston did not put up the astronomical total number that the public was expecting and Vegas cleaned up on all the Over bets falling flat. Time to find some more opportunities to cash in, so let’s get to it.
Florida State Seminoles -4 [...]

comeback city here we go

September 23, 2009 | 7:48 pm | evang`

Took it on the chin with our initial slate of picks, going 1-2. It took a late score by the ‘Skins to keep me from getting blanked. We’re going back to CFB to break the slide and get back to making money.
Missouri Tigers -7 at Nevada Wolfpack
Blaine Gabbert leads a surprisingly explosive offense into Reno [...]

hello again it’s degen season

It’s been a while since my last update (almost 5 months), but thanks to having finally finished work on Uncharted 2 I’m back to having time to do things like:

sleep more than 5 hours
see my wife more than 30 minutes a day
playing online & live poker
watch football

I’m quite happy with how the game turned [...]

Poker has ruined sports for me

May 20, 2009 | 4:59 am | nachos

Thanks to poker, I’ve spent over 3 years now constantly analyzing all kinds of statistics along with their varying levels of significance.  This has turned me into “that guy.”  I can no longer allow people to have fun anymore, because I have become so fucking anal about logical inconsistencies.  I have always been like that [...]

March Madness and Poker Stuff

March 21, 2009 | 5:03 am | evang`

The first two rounds of the NCAA tournament are behind us and we’ve learned a few things:

ACC is always overrated (except Puke and UNC)
Pac-10, Big-10 and Big-12 are better than expected
Never ever except anything good from a Tubby Smith-coached team
LOUISVILLE #1

And no matter how many times it happens (every single year it seems), there is [...]

the illest

February 4, 2009 | 12:55 pm | JCarver

The quarterly alarm bell known as FTOPS begins tonight.  I don’t think I did anything last series, but the series prior to that one was a little special in that I teamed up with Kevin “BelowAbove” Saul and MattG in a sidebet contest.  Mostly thanks to Kevin, our team won something like $40k-50k for having [...]

The latest

February 3, 2009 | 8:34 pm | evang`

So since the last update… welp.
I got a call the day before I was supposed to interview at the studio whose phone interview I bombed terribly, from a friend who works at a different studio I had worked at before, asking if I wanted to come in and talk about perhaps working for them. I [...]

dueling MMA billboards in Times Square

December 31, 2008 | 5:14 pm | steveodwyer

I was in NYC yesterday with my mom and sister and we made the mistake of parking my rental car near Times Square and had to fight the insane crowds to get back to the West Side Highway so we could get to my mom’s cousin’s house in Brooklyn. While we were stuck in traffic [...]
