    1. Timing of this episode couldn’t have been better. We are planning on making our first foray into sports betting on our trip next week because of the Olympics (mostly on the hockey – where’s Rick Tocchet when you need him?), and now we know where to go. I do wonder, though, if they will have the live feeds. I submitted that as a Question Of The Day to Anthony Curtis at the LVA, but he hasn’t responded.

      Glad you guys are feeling better.

    2. Nice show as always. You two were hilarious when you were trying to out-do one another with the “you know how I know you have a gambling problem” bit. I vote for more shows where you each prepare written material that you don’t reveal to one another until showtime.
      13 days and counting until my wife and I stay at the Hooters Casino.

    3. Great show again as kids !…..I do believe Tim that Michelle out did you on the ” gambling problem” skit’s.

      Poor Michelle with that cough. My wife just got over it and now I have it. I do have a question tho Tim…what were you drinking?…heard the ice a few times..LOL

      Until next week, stay safe and get well.

    4. I was in Vegas in summer 2004. As I remember, they were not accepting bets on the Olympics. Maybe they’re making an exception for curling or ice dancing pairs. Doubt it, though.

    5. Oh, that sucks. The prop bets alone on which snowboarders will be thrown out for testing positive could make up the differences. I wonder if it has to do with NBC prohibiting other broadcasters from showing footage until they’ve shown it on tape delay. You’d have to have a grey market satellite to get the live feed.

      I was in England for a part of the Salt Lake games and Euro Sport had it all live. Waking up in the morning and watching hockey was really cool.

      Thanks for the info, TokyoChris.

    6. You know how you know that your girlfriend doesn’t mind that you have a gambling problem?

      When your Valentine’s Day present consists of:

      a) Pete Fornatale’s “The Poker Aficionado”
      b) Five chocolate bars wrapped up in foil resembling a royal flush
      c) Breakfast at Cravings next week, and
      d) a World Poker Tour teddy bear, wearing sunglasses with an ace of spades in her hat, holding a box of candy hearts with an inscription, “Odds are that you’re my valentine.”

      I’m naming him Pokey.
