sq-snl-rehearsal-mtv.jpg· Apple unveiled a new piece of equipment this week and all we have to show for it is this stupid prop bet.

· One of Brandon Link’s high school classmates outs him as a loudmouth braggart who may be a little full of shit. Surprise.

· Wicked Chops Poker gets into a fight with an arsonist’s mother.

· We love blind items. Especially when they’re about famous poker players who rule Vegas and have a nickname that rhymes with “Molly.” Whoops.

· Here’s a great way to beat that pesky Oxycontin addiction: Party Poker.

Oddjack’s Week That Was

· Kate Moss withered away a little more this week as the odds of her ever working of Nine.com just became astronomical.

· Hand histories on poker blogs are dull, lifeless, sometimes incomprehensible things to read. That’s why we’re so happy there’s Babelfish.

· Looking, acting, and playing like a true poker neophyte is an art form.

· Before you hit the Belmont, be sure to use this handy guide for all your horsey needs. Unfortunately, we don’t show you how to ride a horse.

· The Arizona Cardinals are favored in Mexico! The Arizona Cardinals are favored in Mexico! And the world stopped.

· We went absolutely apeshit today with football picks.

· How’d our first weekend’s worth of NFL picks go? Hey, at least we’re not Javon Walker.
· We learned that Barry Greenstein talks smack, runner-runner suckouts can be expensive, and that some of you out there want more boobies.
· We welcomed a new Vegas Insider into the fold, who can’t seem to keep his Siegfried and/or Roy news to himself.
· We’re also not above a little pseudo-celebrity gossip, with a spy telling us Devilfish Ulliott travels with “bodyguards,” and another tossing us a blind item that may or may not be about Kathy Liebert (it’s not).
· We’ll leave you with one gambling event we’re dying to experience, and our efforts to ensure future generations of children always celebrate and never forget our favorite pastry-dubbed poker player. We showed that last one to our mom, she’s so proud.

Oddjack’s Week in Review: Hello, Cruel August

READ MORE: Oddjack Week In Review

· We found out about how many professional poker players are actually sitting at the table with their stomachs stapled. It would not be a good idea to punch any of them in the belly button or that would be quite a mess.
· Is INXS: Rock Star fixed? If so, let’s do a quick double up and buy ourselves a steak.
· Another terror threat, another missed opportunity for futures trading.
· More horseys.
· More baseball.
· Football!
· August means it’s hot. It also means there are some rules of betting to follow.
· And Josh Arieh gives us half a hello. He ate the other half.

· 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.
· Josh Arieh comes back from Hawaii, continues to bother the crap out of us for no good reason except for the fact that he’s a twat.
· We put odds on the company softball game because we can—and because we won. And people yelled at us because of the photos. Yeah, they’re insensitive. We know. Get over it.
· We continue to dabble in CFL betting while our baseball picks continue to go down the toilet.
· Roe Vs. Wade now has odds on it. It’s a prophylactic horse race.
· And, of course, we answer the eternal question “Which Celebrity Poker Player Would You Like to Bang?” It’s not Bill Rini.

· Matt Tobey eats a pound of mushrooms and helps us out by handicapping the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. We can almost see the trails flying off the page.
· The WSOP gets its final table in order and we decide it’d be fun to be all funny about it and piss off a bunch of other poker bloggers in the process of doing so.
· Our favorite poker playing punching bag, Josh Arieh, gets booted from the main event early and then goes home and spends some quality time fleecing his friends at Golden Tee.
