NFL Week 2 Three Team Parlay

ItBefore I begin I want to remind everyone of my new sponsor, Sportsbetting.ag.  Check them out by clicking here

Here is my three team parlay for the week, based on all the night games.

TNF - Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals (pk). Last week the Bengals used an opportunistic defense and turnovers to come from behind and beat the Colts in Indy. Meanwhile the Ravens crushed the bills 47 - 3 for their third highest margin of victory in franchise history. They  are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games in September, and look to have one of the best defenses in the AFC. I feel like they should be favored by at least three points here, so getting them at pick'em is good value. Take the Ravens to win.

SNF - NY Giants at Dallas Cowboys (-3). The Giants failed to cover last week as home underdogs. Now they go on the road to take on a Dallas team that's having trouble scoring points. The Cowboys lost to Carolina 16-8 in a game that was not really that close. Ezekiel Elliott only got 15 carries, as the Cowboys tried to pass their way to victory. I don't think they'll make that same mistake again this week. This is their home opene and I expect them to get it done. Take the Cowboys -3.

MNF - Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears (-3.5).  The Seahawks continue their two-game road trip to start the season. They didn't have quite enough juice to beat Denver last week, losing by 3. The Bears meanwhile, were victimized by Aaron Rodgers, as the Packers, came from behind to win by 1. They are going to want to get that bad taste out of their mouth as soon as possible, and taking on the Seahawks at home is just the way to do it.

This will be the Bears home opener and I look for them to make a strong showing, especially on defense.  Khalil Mack was impressive against Green Bay despite no training camp and limited practices before the game. I look for the Bears' defense to make things very difficult on Russell Wilson, who always seems to be good for a couple of turn overs when harrased buy a good pass rush. Look for him to get sacked early and often.  I think the Seahawks have a lot of trouble scoring points here and it's quite obvious to everyone that their  defense ain't what it used to be. Take the Bears -3.5.

Good luck everybody.

What's the surveillance room like? Repost

This is a repost of a post I made about a year ago, but I feel like it bares s repeating. Enjoy. I got another good question last week, from a reader wanting to know what a surveillance room is like, how it is laid out and how it is staffed and run.  So here goes. I have worked in surveillance departments at six different casinos in the last 25 years. Some very small (300 slots, 6 blackjack tables) and some very big (3000 slots, 60-70 table games of all kinds). When I started in the early 90's it was all VCRs and not all cameras were recorded all the time. We used a lot of "multi-plexers" and "quad screens". A multi-plexer used one VCR to display and record up to 16 screens on one monitor. Since the VCR still records at 30 frames per second, that meant that if you did a review on any one of those 16 screens you would be looking at a "freeze frame" effect, where you only got 1.8 frames per second of the shot you were looking at. A quad would record ...

Reader question.

OK well, I'm back to posting after about a 6 month. I absence. Sorry I was in and out of the hospital with a bunch of problems, but I'm all better now So i noticed that during my abs. Since I got a few questions from readers, I would like to answer one of them now. So the question is, how much money should you take with you to the casino? the answer is of course, if depends. If you happen to be one of the lucky people who live in a jurisdiction where legalize cambling is allowed. And it's a place that you go to to have fun or relax, Or just have some excitement in your life, then that will be a different amount that you will want to take with you as opposed to someone who is making a trip to Vegas that they make only once a year. And if you live Nevada, like I do and you go into casinos all the time, then that will be a different answer as well. As a general rule of thumb. I don't walk into a casino. Unless I have a $100 that I am willing to lose. If you don...
