Weekend wishes: Aces, Springboks and Jaguars!

Busy weekend lying ahead – starts out tomorrow at noon with the Rugby World Cup Final where South Africa will be playing England for the trophy. Now technically, just looking at the last couple of games against England, we should win, but you never know. I think England really, really wants to beat us, not only just because it’s the World Cup, but I think they’re also still pissed that South Africa is not an English colony anymore.
We’ll be watching the game in a local English pub here in Vegas; hopefully there will be a couple of Springbok-supporters and not just the English!! GO BOKKE!!



Tomorrow night I plan on playing in the Binions Ladies Event as a warm-up for the Caesar’s Ladies Event on Sunday. I’ll also meet up with a couple of chixters (i.e. members of www.pokerchix.com) who also will be playing the Saturday night event.
Sunday’s event is the one where I won the seat ($330 buy-in) at a weekly Caesar’s Ladies Tournament. I haven’t played much lately; I hope the break did me good; I’m really looking forward to both tourneys.

Amidst all this excitement I also have to watch football on Sunday, I placed some bets and my main goal is to win more than Richard does with his bets!

I made three parlay bets featuring the Ravens, Patriots, Steelers, Seahawks, Redskins, Eagles and Giants in various combinations. Then I went against all odds and placed a straight bet on the Jaguars to win. Even though the Colts are undefeated so far, who cares!! Since my offspring lives there, I have faith in the Jacksonville team.

Now I’ll also have you know that I don’t pick my football favorites based on the tightness of their pants anymore, I actually do some research and put a lot of thinking into it.
I have never in my life thought that I would ever know as much about football as I do today. Still don’t know much, but compare to what I know a month ago, it’s pretty impressive.

Hey, I live in the States now – it’s a football nation -- and more so, in Vegas – gambling capital of the world – so if you can’t beat them, join them!!!!
