High On Poker

I missed all of eight hours from work to attend this weekend’s WPBT Gathering in beautiful Arctic Las Vegas, but by the look and feel of things back at the office (not to mention the wear and tear on my body and soul), it looks like I missed a week!

A full trip report will be forthcoming, but in the meanwhile, feel free to check out Poker Peaker‘s trip report post.  Peaker does a great job of explaining how some of the more awkward concerns regarding these WPBT gatherings usually end up in the most pleasant of surprises. I also give him kudos for his fine writing. Reading his report really makes me want to up my game here. So, enjoy!

But before I go, I wanted to share with you a little lesson on sports betting that I learned this weekend.

Presenting, High on Poker’s Five Easy Steps to Sports Betting Success

Step 1: Learn about bettable event. This may be done in any way, but I recommend overhearing someone mention an event; then, allow your action junkie tendencies take over (as though you had a choice).

Step 2: Find a midget. Any midget will do, but I prefer Internet celebrity authors. Alcohol dependence is a plus, although with most midgets, it’s also a given.

Step 3: Ask midget, while he is actually doing other things and therefore is only half paying attention, who will win the given event. In this weekend’s case, the event was a UFC card. When possible, get multiple bet recommendations from the inebriated little person for your parlay bet.

Step 4: Place bet at sports book; parlay if possible. Do not, under any circumstance, use any personal judgment. That’s what the drunk midget is for.

Step 5: Profit.

It’s that easy. But more on that during the full trip report. Right now, though, I need to get back to the weeks-worth of work I missed on Friday.

Until next time, make mine poker!
