Vicarious Living

It's special times any time a member of the Frownie Faithful makes a trip to the real life sportsbooks of Las Vegas, and now is one of those times, with loyal commenter kylmra there RIGHT NOW.

So we'll start with the obligatory Lenny K. approved "gotta take the Cavs if they're playing when I'm in Vegas unless there's a really good reason not to" pick, Cavs -3.5 over Heat (5X). (If you don't win at least half of these then you're going to Vegas too much, or you live there.)

Then we'll take Notre Dame -3 over Villanova (5X), which Mr. Mra is taking at our suggestion, which is our suggestion because we thought UConn was a great pick on Saturday and Notre Dame ended up covering over them. A run for the Irish, then.

And we'll round things off with (2X) parlay with the Cavs and the Sixers -2 over the Hornets, because Mr. Mra said he likes the Sixers for the same (undisclosed) reasons that he doesn't like the Cavs, but unlike the Hornets, the "Cavs are sweet," and will overcome. Sounds to us like just the kind of logic that wins a parlay.

Do you feel "transported" by this post, or what? Surely this exercise will help us when we're there in March. Wish our pal the best of luck. Good luck, pal!

Hoping to make a trek in June...you can bet (50x) I won't hesitate to wager against my teams! Gimme Nats scrub +1000 over Johan and a Jets under 7 win total!

Best believe there will be a "Coupon Does Vegas" post if that happens. You really should time your trip with a Nats/Mets series.

Hey Frownie--I take it you have given up on your terrible argument via Maurice Clarett? I take it as a yes, as you were wrong all along.

I hope you go broke in vegas, so you can come back and continue censoring your blogposts.

Lenny, we hardly survived without you. Notice that since you left us we have lost most of our picks, three out of our four of our only winners being the the Lenny K. Play of the day, and the Lenny K. approved Cleveland State, and obligatory "pick the Cavs when I'm in Vegas" picks. Welcome back.

This is surely an auspicious sign for Double Magic Number Day. Wish the Cavs played tonight.

Mikey, check back over at the Clarett post for our response to you.
