The Phillies are now EVEN money to win the World Series after dominating Game 1. EVEN money? Every now and then when the preseason favorite (Yankees, Penguins, Patriots..) gets to the World Series, Stanley Cup, Super Bowl Vegas actually loses a lot more money than you think. And most of it is on Futures bets. A high percentage of people that have been to Vegas since last October, especially those from NYC, place a small $20-$100 on the Yankees to win the World Series getting 2-1 odds. Those bets add up to the point where Vegas now has to offer incredible odds to get people to bet on Philadelphia. In the business world that I used to be a part of, that is called "hedging" your bets. Well, I'm in.

Andre Agassi did Crystal Meth repeatedly in the mid-late 90's. That classic long hair of his, was a toupee. I don't usually read books, and I won't read this one, but I thought about it.
The girl that Steve Phillips had an affair with is disgusting. The real kicker that really hasn't gotten the same publicity is that Phillips checked himself into a rehab center after being fired from ESPN. Really? They have rehab centers for guys who have consensual sex with slampigs? I think I know enough donkeys to fill an entire floor.
After making more than 110 million dollars during his NBA career, Antoine Walker is in the hole to JPMorgan, Wachovia, and some Vegas casinos for 4.5 million. DonkeyBets is not surprised one bit. NBA players are the worst money managers in the entire country. Well, besides Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch... 60% of players that are 5 years out of the league are broke. Fact! That is unfathomable. Let me just say that it starts with the donkettes. Don't let them convince you fellas, they are always after that money. That's why El Donk always brings a fly swatter to the bar to beat those skanks away. DonkeyBets has a good friend in the money management business who represents many athletes. One of their client honestly makes 1.5 million dollars a year and he has 50K in the bank. No lie. Some current players discussed by the executive board here at DonkeyBets that we believe will also be broke (not just NBA, and why can't Vegas offer a futures line on these guys?):
Travis Henry - "The New Shawn Kemp"
Pacman Jones
Muhsin Mohammed
Clinton Portis
Stephon Marbury
Kenyon Martin
Ron Artest
Vince Young
Chad OchoCinco
Vince Carter
Tyson Chandler
and those are just big names, not the 11th and 12th man on the NBA bench. The Donkeys sleeper pick for later years: Charles Barkley. Let's just say there aren't too many NHL players that go broke after playing in the league and they make considerably less.
The Spurs and Magic are definitely going deep into playoffs. The Cavs aren't because of Shaq
After his homophobic comments, I will definitely win my prop bet that Jonathan Stewart will have more fantasy football points than Larry Johnson.
The NCAA is truly racist. Look no further than the Dez Bryant situation. Go get that money Dez, but make sure you manage it well.
The likelihood of both the "Wanda Sykes Show" and "Lopez Late Night" working out for a second season is very small. There are only so many Mexicans and angry black women in LA that give those shows ratings. Fair warning, don't throw one of those two in your TV parlay.
We are going to make "Quick Hits" a weekly column here at DonkeyBets, so don't worry.
