Best Blender: Breville Ikon

I bag on $hit most of the time, well, 75% of the time. Don't get me wrong though, I'm a positive person. The glass is always half full. Thus, I will offer some positive reviews here occassionally.

Here's one. I was in the market for a blender. Why? Two reasons. 1) I have been killing my sports bets & winning at poker, so I've got money to burn. 2) I love pussy. And being that I love pussy so much I want to stay in shape and continue to score with hot chicks. Once you throw in the towel and let your body go to shit, you'll definitely notice a decline in the amount of pussy you are getting, as well as the quality of pussy you are getting. Anyway, after I workout I like to make a healthy smoothie. Pack it with some Jay Robb protein powder, some nonfat frozen yogurt, frozen blueberries, a banana, and some random juice. So good!

My old blender was a budget Walmart version I bought back in college. It did the job, but like everything else, I wanted the best. After reading reviews everywhere, I went with the Breville 550XL Ikon blender. This baby rocks! The first thing I noticed was the noise. Super quiet compared to my old hooptie blender. The Breville is rock solid thick glass and looks and feels like a professional blender. Its wide and the blade looks bitchen. This is the Ferrari of blenders.

Another plus, the surface where the buttons are is smooth! Great for slobs like me; it's very is easy to clean. The blender also has a Smoothie button for making smoothies, but I have found the Blend button to work best.

The Breville blender kicks ass, nuff said.

THE WORST SPORTS FORUM ONLINE

PREGAME.COM

Anybody visit this website Pregame.com? My advice, don't waste your time. Instead of a sports forum, the site is 99% pick-pushers trying to sell you their picks. Begging you to buy their amateur picks. Evidence I have received shows they lose predominantly more than they win.

The site is run by a couple guys who are in bed with the pick-pushers (terrible handicappers) so they do not allow compaints about the terrible picks. Forums posts or bloggers who question these terrible handicappers are banned, and their posts are deleted before the rest of the forum can read the truth.

I have been informed the entire site is just three guys, although they have over a dozen names and peddle picks under numerous aliases, Vegas-Runner, Kingmaker, Goodfella, etc. Thus the entire site is pick-pushers and a few suckers who follow them. The site forum has really fallen on hard times - very rarely are free picks posted. All the smart forum posters left long ago, frustrated with the constant harrassing posts plugging picks that rarely win.

Pregame has evolved into 99% pick-pushers and very few discussions on pointspreads or big games. Look elsewhere if you want to talk about sports without being bombarded by amateur handicappers.


Just my two cents.

NCAA Final Four picks

FINAL FOUR PICK:

As you can see, I bet on sports often, and I do well. Here is my NCAA Tournament Final Four pick to win it all:

Final Four winner: Pittsburgh

Not North Carolina, not Louisville, not UConn, definitively not Memphis. Pitt is the best team in the country.

Pittsburgh is a complete team. They have a dominating inside presence and an experienced, smart backcourt. I could go into more detail, but don't have time to right now. I will give you my bet. $1000 on Pitt to win it all at 4-1 odds.

Of course I'll be making plenty of wagers on the tournament games as well.

Best of luck.

World Sports Exchange sportsbook withdrawal

WITHDRAWALS TAKE 44 DAYS FROM ONLINE SPORTSBOOK

From time to time I will update you on the unwritten hassles that arise in dealing with offshore sportsbooks and poker websites. Today in the mail I finally received my check from World Sports Exchange, one of the leading offshore sportsbooks. Guess how long it took? I requested the check 14 days ago. No, not 14 days. Thirty days? Nope. How about 44 days. Yes, it took fourty-four fricken days to receive my money! Amazing! Just terrrible terrible service.

Offshore casinos and sportsbooks despise withdrawals. They hold or delay your payment as long as possible and ship it as slow as possible. That way, you become very uncomfortable with the process of making a withdrawal. They want their customers thinking "Why bother withdrawing the money, by the time I get the money I will want to bet again." So it leads to fewer and fewer withdrawals. Which leads to more betting, which leads to further profit for the sportsbooks. Scumbags! Just about every illegal, offshore sportsbook and casino is run by 3rd world scumbags. Prepare yourself for this experience if you dare send money to these establishments.

After 30 days I became very worried about my $2500 withdrawal. Making matters worse is the fact that customer service at the small office in Antigua where the sportsbook is located is terrible. They had no tracking number, and after a couple emails, they stopped replying to my questions. I was left completely in the dark. Thankfully my check showed up, but 44 days later. What a joke!
