Hey there sports fans, it's Ace Rothstein, former of the Tangiers Casino. I'm here this morning to kick off this betting game and to make sure no one steps out of line.

Each of you managers starts with $1000 and you can bet on any TV game you please. I'll keep track of your winnings but remember 'the house always wins'. TV games are the only games eligible for betting...

The first TV game should be a feisty one. How will the old guard judge the new teams? Because it is the first game of the season Vegas is setting the line at Black Mambas -9.5 over the Ferns.

For all you philistines that means that BM is going to win by 9.5 points. You can either pick BM to win by more than 9.5 or the Ferns to win or just lose by less that 9.5 points.

Good luck and don't bet more than you have or I'm going to have to send Nicky after you and you don't want to see Nicky in your rear view mirror.

Good luck and don't bet it all at once.

Tonight's TV matchup is a classic. Petersburg visits Meridian Hill for the first of two televised games this season. In a rough & tumble league, can McM afford to go down 0-2 to start the year? Will P-Burg come out flying? Vegas is setting the line at Meridian -6.5. Let's get some action.

This is a tough one as Petersburg hasnt given up a bucket yet this season, will McM be able to break through their defense and how will Pete handle giving up their first bucket? (I predict they curl up in a ball and start sobbing until kdasher calls a timeout and gives them some blue Gatorade, pats them on the head and promises them no matter the outcome the french fries at McDonalds after the game are on him).

KSP puts $50 on McM and gives the points.

true, the defense has been outstanding, but i have concerns about my ability to score. been a while since i have only scored 25 in a game. hard to bet against your self when you are getting the points, I will go 200 on petersburg and take the points. I was tempted to take McM and field a lineup that would lose, but that would be no fun. no matter the outcome, still buying the fries at mickey ds, u coming too nuggetboy?

I may have to develop a google doc for this, but for now, we'll stick to this. I guess if no one else cares, it won't be hard to maintain.

1. FCC +9.5 @ BM Covered
2. P'burg +6.5 @ McM Didn't Cover
3. Oakland @ KSP

1. KDasher $1200
2. nuggetboy $1050
3. abel $960
