Bad bet
10 May 2007Has anyone seen this? For those of you who don’t have the INHD channel (which, sadly, doesn’t feature any Robert Wilsonky programming), Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak have a new show oh-so-cleverly called I Bet You. The premise is exactly what you’d expect: They walk around betting thousands of dollars on completely inane bullshit. They […]

My dream come true
30 Apr 2007I’m back in Boston, at Pokerati’s New England Bureau, but I can’t stop thinking about Cali (maybe because it’s typically cold and rainy here?). There are a lot of crazy-ass stories from the trip Dan and I took to the City of Angels, and we might even tell you some of them one day (though […]

The Bike is run by fascists and sex offenders

Thanks for playing
25 Jul 2006Gambling is a ruthless business, but the fall of BetOnSports CEO David Carruthers has been faster than expected. I was wondering what the online betting/poker sites would do now that the fuzz is after them. I thought they might alter certain curious practices (read: stop flying into the U.S.) or hire more lawyers. Turns out […]

Little help?
24 Jul 2006I know this is supposed to be a news-oriented blog, so I won’t tell you about my disappointing finish in the $500 event at Foxwoods this weekend (I’ll save that for the other site). Instead, I’ll ask if any of you have heard of, or seen, or used this software or anything like it. Apparently […]
