Is Getreadyreserve.com Legit?
So I’m on Facebook today and I see a shared link from a sports handicapper with the title, “It is All about Making Money” and something about a pre-launch business. There is a link to a subdirectory on getreadyreserve.com. This is one of those sites with some big “breakthrough” that provides absolutely no detail among their endless hype. Problem is, this “breakthrough” is far from new. … Read entire article »
Waffles Takes The Facebook Plunge
Call me a sellout, I don’t care. Oh wait, I have comments disabled, so maybe you can’t. Well, in any event, I’ve added a Facebook “Like” button over on the right side, so if you actually do like this website, you can help me out by pressing that button. This will give the newly-created Facebook page another “like.” I don’t know how it actually helps me at this point, but it seems like it must help somehow, right? … Read entire article »

Acai Scams Continue
It’s pushing two years since my initial Acai scam posts were written. Every so often, I like to scour the net to see how prevalent they still are… and these scams are like roaches that just won’t go away. They might scurry to a corner when someone approaches, but they always creep back out when the coast is clear. After seeing consumertipsdaily7.com advertised on about.com today (using the same, tired “One rule to a flat stomach” headline), I did a cursory look to see how many others ones I could find today, and there was no shortage of sites to be found. While many of them present themselves as an objective reviewer (“Miracle Product or Internet Scam?”), EVERY one of the sites listed below had some of the exact same … Read entire article »

The Vultures at NCO Financial Systems
I received yet another call from good ‘ol NCO Financial Systems this morning. The number that called me was 800-810-0590. Well, I don’t answer 800 numbers, unknown numbers, private numbers, or any numbers I don’t recognize. If it’s someone important, they’ll leave a message and I’ll call back. Anyway, they did leave a message, which was the following: … Read entire article »

Were You Hacked by Kasper511?
Mine was one of many sites hit with the “Hacked by Kasper511″ mark of shame. It’s pretty tough to Google it for information because what you’ll find are all the sites hacked and indexed with said hack. In most cases, the main page will display a graphic, sometimes a sentence, an email, and an instant message contact. Sometimes you’ll see the words “Saudia Arabia” with no explanation as to what that means. … Read entire article »
ED and Yohimbe Revisited
Earlier this year I wrote an article on my initial experiences with Yohimbe. Since then, I’ve used it probably 50 times and decided it was time to write a follow-up. Here’s the quick list of observations that I can say about Yohimbe in general: … Read entire article »

The Sports Trends Carrot
So-called professional handicappers love to drop sports trends. “The technicals of the game… Arizona is 9-1 the last 10 games on grass.” I’ve worked alongside sports handicappers and I can tell you that many of them actually believe in the significance of these trends. Others merely use them to beef up a flimsy reason for giving out a game as a “pick.” I have generated tens of thousands of sports trends in my day, and here’s my take on it all. … Read entire article »

Betting Money Lines in Sports, part 2
I previously wrote in general terms about playing money lines in sports. In this part, I’ll delve a little deeper into the mechanics of money line betting. I stroll into the Las Vegas Hilton’s sportsbook every Saturday morning during football season. The atmosphere is that of excitement. Cheers, jeers, and the smell of cigar smoke fill the air. Sometimes observing the sports bettors is more entertaining than the wall of televisions with endless football and horse racing images. And one observation I’ve made time and time again is that a large chunk of the betting community won’t touch money lines. In some cases money lines simply aren’t understood. The way a money line works is different, depending on if the team you’re playing is favored or an underdog. Let’s look … Read entire article »
