What a Game....





Yesterday was finally the big day of the game between Manchester United and Chelsea for the Championship. Let me just start off by saying it was an absolutely amazing game that eventually ended up with Man U winning in a shootout. It was probably the most exciting game that ive ever seen by far. Well maybe thats not true but the fact that it was such a close exciting game combined with me having a little under 1k riding on it made for some great excitement. I woke up pretty early (10 a.m.) to head over to MGM where a friend(clay/lvpokerdealer) had the skybox suite reserved above the sportsbook to watch the game. The sportsbook was completely packed with no seats for this game so it was pretty nice to have our own suite with recliners and drinks. In case you missed the game it was pretty much as exciting a game you will ever see. They went into the shootout and Ronaldo who is one of if not the top player in the world missed his shot in the shootout! Obviously once he missed it was pretty much over because its almost impossible for a goalie to make saves in these. So Chelsea makes all their shots and its down to their captain with the last shot to win the game....... and he kicks it off the crossbar!!!! Unbelievable. All he had to do was make that shot and it was over, instead it was all back to even. Man U scores, chelsea scores, man u scores again, and chelsea comes up and the goalie for man u made a sick save and MAN U wins. It was a very exciting game filled with us jumping around, yelling, sweating, and even me losing my voice for a while after the game. SHIP the monies. After the game was over we grabbed some lunch at hooters before i headed back home to take a nap before the nights celebration but not before stopping by red rock to place a few more bets on the lakers game.

The line was pretty tough at L.A. -7 so the only bets that i actually liked were the over/under on kobe bryants points at 31.5 so i took the under and owned kobes soul when he only scored 27, ship. The other bet i really liked was the over/under in the total number of 3 pointers made in the game at 14 which to me sounded rediculously high so i took the under and they only ended up making like 9 i think in the game,ship. I also put some money on the Red Wings to win the stanley cup which is pretty much free money, GO WINGS!!!

I also ended up totally killing it today on bodog betting the pistons game. I hit 5 out of 6 bets that i made during the course of the game for a nice win of around 7oo. Ive now ran my 180 deposit on bodog up to a little under 2k in a few weeks so maybe this time i wont be so lazy and actually withdraw the money instead of saying "fuck it" and just blowing it by being stupid.








Wings ticket-

\

In my last post i said that i was planning on going home to michigan for the weekend but theres been a change of plans. After yesterday it was pretty apparent that it was going to be close to impossible to get tickets to the wings games so i called in today and cancelled my flight. Im going home for a few weeks in July anyways so i figured ill just wait and i really felt like shit today from last nights excursion so i didnt really feel like packing and going through the whole airport headache. Which reminds me, DONT ever fly Spirit Airlines. Their customer support was absolutley horrible as it took me about 2 hours to finally get someone on the phone to cancel and another thing that really pisses me off is that they charge you 20 dollars to check your suitcase! Not an extra suitcase or an overweight suitcase but just any suitcase you want to take with you,gay.

Obviously we had to go out last night and do a little celebrating from the game so we met up at Dragonfly for some food and a lot of shots. It was John(chatter), clay,(lv) kevin(poker super star Belowabove), and another sick tournament player steve( gboro). This was my first time meeting gboro who had just got in town yesterday for the world series and was a real chill dude. We shot the shit at dfly and pounded drinks/shots til about 2 or so before heading over to thee Rhino. Other than the place being way too packed it was a pretty fun time and we chilled here drinking til around 6 or so before calling it a night. Well thats pretty much a recap of whats been going on since my last post so check back tomorrow to see whats up. I think im going to try and wake up pretty early(by 2) to get down to the bellagio or wynn for some 5/10 so check back to see how that went and im out.
