Has our hero hit rock bottom? He is hoping that his online sportsbook/poker accounts have hit bottom, but you can always go lower....They say that you have to hit rock bottom before you get help for an addiction, but if the addiction is profitable...

Brokeback Eye for the Dark Knight's Nemesis Guy

I consulted with the Bald Sasquatch, and I now may have a handle on these Head and Shoulder ads. According to 'Squatch, these ads exploit the dynamic that hetero men instinctively take fashion advice from homosexuals, especially after the advent of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Good call 'Squatch, and spoken like a straight guy who gets fashion advice from Queer Eye, which, apparantly, he is. Very insightful, especially for a guy who doesn't really have enough hair to use much shampoo.

Maybe I should ask 'Squatch who will win the 2009 Academy Awards. The favorites are

Best Film: Slumdog Millionaire--4/25 That's right, bet $25 to win $4.
Best Director: Danny Boyle--1/9
Best Actor: Mickey Rourke--20/39
Best Actress: Kate Winslet--5/12
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger--1/35.

This is all on bodog.com. Bodog is allowing a max bet of $100, wich means you can win no more than $2.86 on the Joker. As I have said before, bodog are a bunch of cowards. On the other hand, these odds reflect action, so maybe these guys are going to get hosed....

I've just tried to bet on Ledger, just to get that $2.86 number, and apparantly you can bet up to $3500 on the Joker--you can try to win a max of $100. That's more like it.

I just tried to get some attractive odds by parlaying all the above favorites, except for Mickey Rourke, and apparantly you can't do that. Cowards.

Contrast this with the Sun Cruz Casino, where IF you ride out to international waters, and IF you do it a day in advance, they will take action of up to fifty grand on a given sporting event. Pretty big balls for a little boat. I'm not sure how high they max out if you want to do a parlay. I played $2-5 No Limit on three separate cruises last weekend, and walked away up $640 or so. If I turned pro and wrote off my rental and hotel, I might come out better, but I'm not sure about that, especially if I pay taxes....

Maybe I'll ask 'Squatch. We could call it Bald Eye for the Thinning on Top Guy. I'll consult his shiny gourd like a magic eight ball. Or cue ball. Yeah, like a magic cue ball....dispensing wisdom like sugary yet tart Pez....ahhhhhhhhh.....

Good luck Heath. I'm not just saying that because we'll get to skip a speech, since somebody else will no doubt speak on your behalf. And do some sort of a tribute to you whether you win or not, which has about a 60% chance of being nauseating and overdone. You deserve better.
