Hmm… Probably just one of Calvin’s antics in making us think there’s something new with NewBodog.

Except from the somewhat very straightforward new name of the ‘’sportsbook formerly known as Bodog,” NewBodog is still the same online casino and sportsbook operated by that one guy who we are really REALLY tired of but can’t seem to get rid off, Calvin Ayre.

In case you didn’t know, Bodog a.k.a. NewBodog, is an online casino and sportsbook founded by Calvin Ayre that aims to bamboozle you of yer own mon… er… I mean, give you the best online betting experience there is today.

Yep, no kidding. So why the change from the acceptable ”Bodog” moniker to the somewhat ridiculous ”NewBodog” tag? Apparently, Calvin Ayre got into some sort of legal dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name.

According to Mr. Ayre, they are currently fighting this dispute and they are confident that they will be stuck with the moniker NewBodog, for a fucking long time. He he… No seriously, these morons are confident that they can win this…

I just don’t get it.

Yep, people behind the new Samuel L. Jackson flick called, ”Snakes on a Plane” are claiming that bloggers ”helped” increase the hype around the movie. Hell, one even said that they were surprised just how bloggers had a dramatic affect on the said film.

Well, bloggers do that. The problem is, I just don’t get it why some bloggers devote time in promoting some flick we’ve already seen before.

Sure, snakes inside a cabin is sure is a first for quite a while but c’mon, we all saw the Anacondas and… well… more Anacondas on the big screen. Why be interested on the same genre again?

Snakes are still snakes, no matter where you put them.

Samuel L. Jackson stars as FBI agent Nelville Flynn, who is accompanying a key mob trial witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. And, well, there are snakes on the plane. The storyline is rather simple, but some bloggers say that’s the brilliance of it.

Whatever.Samuel L. Jackson, and the mere notion of snakes on a plane have burst the movie through the blogosphere. Don’t ask me…

A little bird told me that many Washington residents are considering moving into a new state.

Not because it rains nine months a year in Seattle. The reason being playing online poker, and Internet gambling in general, has become a serious crime.

Yes, it means you will go to jail should a morality guardsman happen to catch you playing your favorite texas hold’em game in your own home at your own private time.

The Washington State law criminalizing online gambling went into effect, June 8. This development gives the state power to charge residents gambling online with a Class C felony punishable by a possible five-year sentence and/or a $10,000 fine.

The thing that’s most puzzling is how will they be able to indentify Washington residences that plays online? Does this mean that the government will begin monitoring our online activities?

Doug suggested: "Think of the NSA effort with phone records. The Bush administration wants to know who you are talking to on the phone and the state wants to know who your poker buddies are. So next time your up late playing a hand of no limit hold’em you won’t just have to…

Internet gamblers are rich.

Yup, and that’s according to a recent study conducted by the American Gaming Association (AGA) in hopes that it could help advocates of a federal law change to legalize these kinds of wagering.

According to the survey conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates, the online gambler is more highly educated and more affluent than both the general public and the patrons of traditional bricks-and-mortar casinos.

The online gambler, whose median age is only 31 years old, was found to be very active on the Internet. They use cyberspace to conduct many day-to-day activities like watching videos, dating, or just simply talking to another… well… geek.

The survey also suggests that 70 percent of online gamblers started playing only in the last two years, showing that online gambling truly is an emerging phenomenon. Well, if these guys want ”emerging phenomenon,” they should see me in bed with a hot chick like… say… a Stacy Keibler and watch my long hard di…

Jeez… How can these two morons be so stupid…

Two teenagers were arrested in Suburban Washington after bragging about their crimes over MySpace.com, a social networking website.

Yup, they were THAT stupid, and their utter stupidity got ‘em arrested.

Two teenagers were charged with setting fires in suburban Washington after they bragged about the blazes on MySpace.com, authorities said.

The 17-year-old schoolmates were involved in 17 fires in Montgomery County, fire officials said Friday. The teens face 22 charges, including two counts each of first-degree arson and four counts of second-degree arson. – ABC News

The names of these stupid teenagers were not released, maybe because they were charged as juveniles. OR… They were so stupid, police officers owed it to humanity not to release their names to the public.

Between the 20th of January and the 16th of April, stores, vehicles, including two school buses and a freakin’ bowling alley (for crying out loud) were set on fire. Police investigators got a tip to check out MySpace.com.

What these investigators found out was…

OLD NEWS yea but Christians like me around the world – this week has been just too much of Jesus talk. Only in the world of gambling baby.

An advertising campaign by Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power, was stopped after a series of complaints from outraged Christians.

Now, what can this Irish bookmaker do to engineer quite an uproar?

Bastardize the ”Last Supper,” even if it IS a version of one of Christianity’s biggest enemies, (Well… Since his Da Vinci Code at least…) Leonardo Da Vinci.

Apparently, the advertising campaign features Da Vinci’s painting and then spoofs it. It shows Jesus Christ gambling with his apostles in one long table. Heck, the advertising campaign even has the Holy Grail in it. (The woman beside what was suppose to be Jesus Christ.)

Paddy Power said they received more than a hundred complaints, making it the…

$18,972 for a domain name?! Oh yeah, before anything else, lemme’ just introduce myself.

This here is Syndc8, OddJack’s official man in charge of finance. Aside from dealing drugs and pissing people off who just plain irritate us, we sure have a lot of finances (bets to collect and gambling debts? kidding) to take care of and there’s where I come in.

On that note, let me tell you what an asshole did to me recently.

Freepicks.com was being auctioned recently and yours truly ALMOST got it.

Lo and behold, some jackass outbid me.

Not that I’m bitching about it or anything but, the site says Freepicks.com for crying out loud, and who better to have that domain name than OddJack? Jeezuschrist, we are the NO.1 HANDICAPPER IN SEDGECOURT and…

Pathological. One of my favorite words. It makes a disease sound so hifalutin.

Speaking of which here’s this impulse control disorder drug called nalmefene that was previously tested and also found effective to constrain alcohol dependency. Impulse control disorder applies to addiction, i.e. shopaholics, sex addicts, and kleptomaniacs.

Now, further studies show that this little drug may also be effective to curb pathological gambling.

According to the American Journal of Psychiatry, almost half of the tested group responded well enough to the drug. Some were even rated  "much improved" or "very much improved" at the last evaluation.

If nalmefene proves to be a potent drug to help pathological gamblers with their problem, too, could it be that we finally found the wonder drug that will cure all disease?

Who knows what else it could do? How about cure the compulsive disorder to think and do stupid things? Then we will finally be rid of right-wing Republicans and American Idol.

Or how about eliminate narcissism, that obsessive compulsion to love one’s self image too much? Imagine that, a world without Tom Cruise.

So how does this wonder drug work exactly? As Sandmonkey found out:

"Nalmefene interferes with brain opiate circuits that process sensations of…

Now, upon reading the title, you ask, ”How in the heck can you predict basketball games with math?!?”

It’s possible.

Or so says business executive Charles Allen.

Charles Allen works in a high-rise office with leather chairs, valuable paintings and a breathtaking but expensive view of the city. Allen, a forty-something family guy, is a respected executive in his company, well, wearing a sharp suit will certainly earn you that.

However, in this same office, Allen turns it into something else whenever it’s time for some NBA action. With a full slate of NBA games, the entrepreneur turns into a gambling tycoon.

With $15,000 riding on a Cleveland – Minnesota game, he blurts out, ”LeBron James nails a three-pointer! LeBron, you cockroach!” Allen needs the game to fall under the total point line of 183 but with just 9.2 seconds left, Ricky Davis ruined everything with a shot from downtown.

And he wasn’t even…

Yeah baby, the new OddJack team is going to take on another challenge.

Sedge Court Journal is having this handicapping contest for the basketball season where handicappers, (or in this case, since OddJack is the ONLY true handicapper here, OddJack and the rest of the pseudo-handicappers) will post basketball picks for the NBA, NCAA Basketball and the WNBA (seriously, who watches that crap?), with three posts per week being the minimum.

Sedge Court sez’ if participating handicappers, oops, I mean, OddJack and the rest of the pseudo-handicappers, fail to post at least three picks a week, points will be deducted as if they were losses.

The scoring system is pretty fair, with two picks being your ‘regular picks’ and your one pick being your ‘best play of the week.’

Two ‘regular picks’ will earn the contestant 10 points and the participant’s…
