Bet The Farm & The Horse Too
A quick post for a Monday morning. Let's hear it for short weeks.
There was a Big Game last night. Somebody won. I railtarded for a bit but there were still about 20 people left when I crashed. Congratulations to that somebody for a nice payday and an entry into the BBT2 Tournament of Champions.
The Las Vegas countdown clock is currently at T-17. Dr. Pauly has updated his useful assortment of tips for surviving the Winter Classic, it's worth a read if you are not a grizzled Vegas veteran.
Bookies all over the Valley are scrambling to put together prop bet odds for the WPBT experience. Here at Res Ipsa Poker * we got a sneak peak at some of the early lines:

The usual disclaimers apply: For entertainment purposes only, I don't endorse illegal wagering because doing so could result in an idiotic waste of law enforcement resources, dammit think of the children before exposing them to these lines, WON'T YOU PLEASE THINK OF THE [CENSORED] CHILDREN??!?, etc, etc.
There may be a leak of tourney-related odds before December, but we'll have to wait and see.
Don't forget Mondays at the Hoy tonight, another chance to win your way toward a FREE trip to Australia.
Until next time, I sigh in exasperation at the thought of having to get back to work.

No wife + Bracelet and Speaker as roommates = good bet for wheelchair redux.
And give me 3 units on Bracelet losing more then $500 at blackjack. That's a lead pipe lock.
Well played, sir.
I enjoy the hell out of the link to one's self.
Also, I may be forcing myself to not gamble as much. That being said, I'd still like to place wagers on how much I'll lose. The over please.
I loves me some linking to myself.
Is ChickJax a blow up doll? TBD suckas!
Foil Shizzle.
Derek under 111 cigarettes? It's tempting...
Nice post.
I'll take the over for #40... for my Pai Gow bets. That's such a gimmie.
one word . . .awesome!
They're honest compliments though, not for any reason other than to say they are good writers!!!
Man, where did that come from? I don't even know you. Although I probably should. Looks like you've got a good blog there.
Over/under on pokerpeaker saying "Wow, I haven't stayed up this late since the twins were born" at least 50 times: Infinity.
Over/under on pokerpeaker getting MORE sleep in Vegas than he is now: A lot.
I clearly don't do enough gambling. Why are my numbers so high? Just want to know if I should be flattered, offended, or if I can do anything to rig the outcome.
Nice post.
The Wife
I am honored to be part of the prop bet-age. Can we rig it was the older rich guy is at least hot?
Betty could use a little Vegas "action" if ya know what I mean...
Can I parlay 1000 units on 54 with #3. 20 units on #7. Hell I'll gamble.
DO you have a line on the amount of times Tragedy will attempt to hit Buddy Dank for being a poker donk?
Keep up the good work and I'd look for a shot when I get to vegas in your name!
