How can I buy Super Bowl tickets?

Ever wondered how to get tickets for cheaper than the $2,500 street price?

From NFL.com:

The only method the NFL has to distribute tickets to the public is through a random drawing. There is no other way for the general public to purchase tickets. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents.

Entries for the random drawing are accepted between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game in question. All ticket requests must be sent via certified or registered mail. Those selected in the random drawing will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets.

Requests for Super Bowl XLI in South Florida will be accepted beginning Feb. 1, 2006. They should be sent to:

Super Bowl Random Drawing
P.O. Box 49140
Strongsville, OH 44149-0140

Please note that only one request per address is accepted. All duplicate requests will be disregarded.
Good Luck.

No Bets Today

Nothing in either system. There should be some for tomorrow and Sunday though...

Good Luck.

What an ass kicking

Figures the system wins 3 plays yesterday and gets destroyed today. 1-4 on all plays tonight... Well, I don't know if anyone will want to following these plays, but I'll keep posting them as they happen... Hopefully they'll come back strong...

System 1: 0-1
System 2: 1-3

NCAA basketball: all system bets 2/22

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been following someone else's NCAA Basketball system this year. I haven't been posting these plays here, but after a slight modification to the system, I am going to start posting them today. I’m going to call this System #1. This system offers very few bets a day, if any.

Today’s System #1 bets:
Vanderbilt -1 @ -109

My new system, created a few weeks ago, but not bet until today I’ll call System #2. I already bet 2 games in this system (see last post):

Massachusetts -1.5 @ -110
Indiana U -10½ @ -110

Out of the 53 NCAA games going today, this system produced a possible 10 plays, but I only picked the strongest plays per the system to bet today (4 bets). I will be watching all ten, and I might modify this system down the road. The other two plays are:

Florida -7.5 @ -105
Drake +3 @ -103

Enough for now, time to eat…

Good Luck

Vida Guerra - red carpet alert

So hot... Maxim chick, dated Jeremy Shockey...

From this blog:

add some decent guests and maybe someone to look at aside from you, like Vida Guerra (yes, I typed "great ass" into google), and make the topics move. - #

PS. the red carpet alert was a joke... And The Colbert Report is much better now...

Alabama/Arkansas Bet

Arkansas came back to win that game yesterday scoring 15 points more than Bama in the 2nd half. Where was my 2nd half bet on that one? Anyway, I feel a little better about the loss being that Arkansas won, but didn't cover... It's still a loss though. I might try to redeem myself over the next couple of days if any plays jump out...

Final:
Alabama 63
Arkansas 65

Record on posted NCAA Basketball bets: 0-1, -1.05 units

Rare NCAA Post/Bet

I've been betting a few NCAA Basketball games this season. I haven't been posting my bets here as I am mostly feeding off of someone else's system. Anyway one quick game that I'm on tonight (not the system play):

Arkansas -7.5 -105 over Alabama
Game goes in 20 minutes.

Sports Betting in the USA. Legalize it and move on.

While Congress is reviewing the legality of Internet Gambling in the US (which by the way, they will never outlaw for the individual bettor), sports leagues are consistently clamoring about the impact of gambling on their sports.

Why Football? Your popularity is largely due to a spread being available in almost every paper nationwide. With billions bet on the Super Bowl, how can you deny that most fans bet?

Why Baseball? You became “a national past time” with the first American bookies in your stands taking live action bets during your games. I’m sure this brought in many fans.

Why Basketball? March madness would mean nothing to most Americans if it wasn’t for the NCAA bracket pools that most of America is in. When the action on the first weekend of March Madness is only second to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas Sports Betting dollars, you should know that you need the gamblers.

Why Hockey? Right now, you can use all the help you can get.

If gambling didn't exist, professional sports would be as popular as the opera. It has always been and always will be true that gambling -- regardless of whether you like it or not -- makes the games far more important than they would be otherwise. Yet all of the leagues continue to pretend that sports betting doesn't exist, driven as they are by memories of the 1919 Black Sox scandal, Paul Hornung's '63 NFL suspension for betting on his own Green Bay Packers' team, Michael Jordan's known associations with gamblers and other derelictions.

Yet the public climate has changed. Gambling has become a universally-accepted entertainment, with casinos popping up throughout the country and government-run lotteries operating in almost every state. - Sports Illustrated
Get a hint America. Congress needs to legalize (and tax) internet gambling, and the sports leagues need to realize the value that gambling brings to their fan base. Embrace it America, at this point it's all you can do.
