· There’s nothing like a great horse race to get the blood pumping. And it’s even better when there’s a handicapping software to give us the best chance to win. Oddjack’s horseracing scrappy dog BG bough CompuTrak, placed bets, won some, lost some.

9:05 p.m. Ottawa Renegades (SU: 2-3, ATS: 2-3) at Saskatchewan Roughriders (SU: 3-2 ATS: 2-3 ) Best Line:Ottawa Renegades+9, 52.5 O/U Tonight’s first game of the CFL double-header pits two teams coming off losses last week; the Riders dropped a 44-18 decision at Calgary last weekend while the ‘Gades lost 29-21 to the West conference leaders Edmonton Eskimos. The line opened with the Roughriders as a nine point favorite but that number has been bouncing between 7.5 and 8 points depending upon where you shop.

Obviously, the creators of Daniel Negreanu’s Stacked video poker game were using photos from Joshy as a 12-year-old boy for this photo. Where are the four chins? The caramel on the side of his face? The vapid, zombified expression may be accurate, but we know that Josh had to give them specific instructions: "Make me look cool–give me four-day stubble on my face and a sweet Banana Republic button-down with a dark undershirt…" Screenshots [Planet Stacked] Previously: Josh Arieh: Fleeting, Undeserved Fame a Bitch, Apparently

From Online Casino Report:
If you are not consistent in your bets and your numbers are all over the board, it weakens your chances of winning at online casino roulette. Over the long run, it would benefit you to stick to certain numbers, since there is the same exact chance that the ball will land on […]

Well-known poker loudmouth Phil Hellmuth brings his patented style of griping to the Sunday "Hobbies" page of The Indianapolis Star, proving once again that good things happen to those who whine. Is this the Indy Star’s reaction to the New York Times hiring James McManus? Or is it because Daniel Negreanu is already syndicated elsewhere? You decide. New Columnist(Bottom of Page) [Indy Star]

5:05 pm Philadelphia Phillies (53-50, B. Myers) at Colorado Rockies (36-65, J. Acevedo) Best Line: Phillies -160 The Phillies managed to overcome a three game sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros and win last night at Coors Field. The first of a four game series, the Phillies took the lead in the top of the ninth winning 8-5. The Phillies hope that they can continue to take advantage of the absence of Colorado Rockies slugger 1B Todd Helton and finally provide runs behind Brett Myers. Brett Myers (8-5, 3.24) has been consistent for the Phillies this year but has been a victim of poor run support. Over his last five games, Myers is 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA,

Didn’t think we’d forget about Del Mar today, did you? Nope. We’ll let CompuTrak make a few picks, and make our favorite readers a few bucks while dreaming of San Diego. And no, we’re not talking to you weirdos who find that thing on Drew Brees’ face strangely erotic. Horse picks guys, keep your focus, it’s almost Saturday. CompuTrak picks, after the jump. Race 1) #2 Lucky Stab is the CT Pick. 5-2 on the Morning Line (M/L). Race 2) CT suggests the #6 Adamant. Not a good longshot though, sitting on a 2-1 M/L. Damn Goodie Two Shoes. Race 3) No pick made. Race 4) The CT Pick is the #8 Newyearresolution. Another one sitting out there way too low at 5-2. The software really likes this pick though. Race 5) No pick made. However, take a flier on the #4 Don’tcallmefrisco at 20-1 on the M/L. He’s a solid favorite on the CT Oddsline. Race 6) CT says go with the #2 Datticus. Too many horses without numbers loaded on this race though, but a 10-1 Morning Line is hard to ignore. Race 7) No pick made.
