The Losing Streak Stops Here

Vid O' The Day

On Feb 11, 1964, The Beatles played their first US show, in Washington By God DC. I'm betting they played this one. Good quality, great performance, filmed in Stockholm, 1963.

No story, I just ran across this and thought it was a cool shot.Some days that's good enough!

Pick O' the Day

Yesterday's bet was a sucker bet, and I let myself get sucked - not in a good way either. This was an old conundrum - do I bet against "my" team? For me, the answer is no. I truly liked San Jose +1.5, but the odds were much nicer for Boston at -1.5, and I talked myself into "the Bruins will win by two goals easily". This is play money, but if you're going to throw cold hard cash around, the lesson is "bet with your head, not your heart". Or just stay the hell away.
Time to move away from hockey and feature the Red Sox -yanx rivalry of college hoops, North Carolina at Duke. NC was a consensus Number One at the start of the season, many thought they could be the first team to run the table since Bob Knight's Hoosiers went 32-0 in 1976. Lofty expectations, those, and the Heels weren't up to it. Now 21-2, the Tyler Hansbroughs invade Cameron Indoor with something to prove, as Psycho T and Danny Green try to become the first NC players to win four straight against Coach K on his home court. The Dookies are still reeling after a 27 point loss to Clemson last week, and will be no match. We're taking Carolina heavy here, -2.5 points at -110 and parlaying that with Wake Forest -6 points at -110 over NC State at Raleigh, for a payout of $729. Gotta get healthy here, and gotta love Tobacco Fucking Road Baybeeeee!

Streak: Lost 2
Cash: -$400
