Sabrina’s Money Madness

This is definitely a money-related topic. Even if you get into a league that’s free, most people are playing for money. There are a few people who simply play for bragging rights but most people want the cash. I’ve only been in a league once and I didn’t do so good. I won’t be entering […]

But John did. He won $300 on the final score which was 17-14 Giants over the Patriots. I watched the whole game. John probably watched the last half. When the Giants scored we both started screaming and jumping up and down. Him because he wanted to win the pool, me because I wanted the Giants […]

My friend that’s running the football poll is having trouble selling the blocks. So instead of being $20 per block and paying 2 people per quarter (she was paying on the reverse numbers as well), she’s just charging $10 and paying 1 person per quarter. I think the final score would still be worth $500 […]

We can’t legally gamble on sports here in PA, but that doesn’t stop people. The Super Bowl is in 2 weeks and you can best believe that there’s gonna be big money bet on that game. We have a football pool that my friend is running that’s $20 a square. The final quarter pays over […]

The appeals are over and the lawsuits have stopped flying. Ground-breaking is supposed to start with the next 90 days. The casino is not scheduled to open until March or April of 2009 though.
What I’m wondering is whether people will come to the casino. I know people in the Pittsburgh area will. But Washington County […]

I’m glad I don’t live in Las Vegas with sports books because I would probably spend a lot of time there. I would take a lot of the underdog picks because you can bet a little and win a lot.
I’ve been looking at a lot of sports scores lately thinking that I would have totally […]

I think it’s imperative that we either get the casino built or award the license to someone else. We are losing major revenue to Washington County. People are flocking there to visit the Meadows Casino. West Virginia has also approved table games for some portions of their state.
When people get comfortable going to a particular […]

There are several factors they are fighting before they will break ground locally. The Science Center doesn’t want them next door. However, their biggest hurdle is the traffic situation. Both of the sports teams (the Steelers and the Pirates) are arguing that the congestion from traffic will affect people trying to go to the games. […]

I’ve been waiting for my trip to Las Vegas for some time. I have a free airline ticket that I’m planning on using. Since that airline only flies in the U.S., I figure I’ll go somewhere on the west coast, so Vegas it is.I plan on doing more site-seeing than gambling this trip. Don’t get […]

The casino in Pittsburgh is not even in the construction phase yet. The owner is waiting for the challenge period to expire before he breaks ground. His casino is expected to open in late 2008. The reason: he’s building a permanent casino, not a temporary one like other operators.
That may be bad new for Allegheny […]
