Rick Reilly Licks Something

Wednesday, October 07, 2009

Rick Reilly has been widely known to make outlandish bets in his columns involving "tongue baths" with various buildings in various cities. His latest involved liking the Capital Dome in Denver if the Rockies made the Playoffs, and he actually made good on the bet today....


"It tasted like crow," Reilly said. "That's the last time I open my big mouth."

Well, I guess we can thank Denver for getting Reilly to shut up. Thanks guys!

Bodog Puts Up Some Interesting Lines In Response To Recent Events

Tuesday, March 11, 2008


I don't know how many of you that read this site are actually into gambling on Sports, but via reader JS we now have the posted lines in regards to Bobby Knight and your newest Yankee Billy Crystal. Via Bodog...

Will Bob Knight swear on air during his ESPN Analyst Position for March Madness?

Yes: +600
No: -1200

Will Billy Crystal make contact with any pitches during his At Bats during the New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game on March 13, 2008? (Foul balls and Tipped balls count as contact.)

Yes: +200
No: -500

Will Billy Crystal record a hit during the New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game on March 13, 2008?

Yes: +500
No: -1500
The only one worth some dough might be Billy Crystal making contact with a pitch. You have to take into account that the Pirates might throw him a nice meatball to the actor.

Barkley Trusts ESPN's Analysts And Loses A Ton Of Money

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

I guess it's no secret that I've been known to wager on a Sporting Event or two. I've won and lost, but I can't even imagine second guessing myself to the tune of $400,000. Via The 700 Level...



I love how Charles Barkley came out last year saying he bet too much at Casinos and on Sports, and said he was going to slow down. $400K? "That's terribull."

Charles Barkley drops "about $400,000" on the Super Bowl (The 700 Level)

So the newest Conan "Jub-Jub" challenge has been issued to Charles Barkley, and here's the video...



I think this is good fun, but I'm with Barkley when he says that they should raise the stakes. What is $2,000 to Conan O'Brien?
