This Coin Is Doing More To Stay In Shape Than You Are

Written by Brandon Stroud / 02.20.13

A guy putting a coin on a treadmill and filming it for an hour (!) is the most Internet thing to do ever, but I’m happy he did it. It’s a fascinating watch, and you’ll want to know how it ends. Spoiler alert: that coin ends up swole as f**k.

Of Course A Woman Bet $5 On Football And Won $100,000

Written by Ashley Burns / 11.08.12

As a person who only gambles as part of a horrifying addiction to fantasy football, forgive me if I’m a little misogynistic here. I don’t mean to be, because I’m a classic gentleman, born and raised with southern elegance and hands as soft as a cloud shaped like a polar bear cub. That said, some broad made a $5 football bet on a 15-team parlay through Las Vegas-based Station Casinos, and thanks to the New Orleans Saints’ 28-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, this anonymous woman is now $99,995 richer.

It turns out that this lady – obviously withholding her name from the media so the government won’t catch on, so get on that IRS – managed to pick both NFL and NCAA football victories correctly, even including one hell of an underdog.

She picked all 13 NFL games and two college games, beginning with Nebraska as a 2-point favorite over Michigan State. The Cornhuskers covered when Taylor Martinez threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Jamal Turner in the final seconds for a 28-24 victory.

Nebraska trailed 24-14 in the contest with eight minutes to go. Most of her games weren’t nearly as nerve-racking.

The biggest underdog, San Diego State +15, won outright 21-19 at Boise State. (Via the Las Vegas Sun)

This victory may seem like just another feel good story for some nickel slots loser who finally hits the jackpot, but it marks something much bigger than just a happy ending for Marge and the bingo hall gals. This $100,000 victory was the cherry on top of what the Sun also reported was the “worst ever” NFL week for the Vegas sports books. Is this just hyperbole? Probably. But let’s panic and overreact anyway.

Written by Brandon Stroud / 10.26.12

Liberally reposted from Wendesday:

You know the drill by now. With Leather has been teaming up to bring you top-shelf fantasy football with FanDuel.com all season. This is the last game we’re doing with them, so if you’ve been on the fence about participating before, now’s your time to shine.

It’s two measly dollars to sign up and draft a team, and you get the chance to win $1,000 in prizes. It’s legit. I won five bucks for my 40th-ish place finish in the last game. I am terrible at fantasy football and STILL doubled my money. If you’re good, you can really clean up. And you’re good, right?

Here’s how we play the game:

This is your very last chance to play FanDuel Fantasy Football with us this season, so sign up for the game now. We’ve only got 555 spots available and scoring begins at kickoff on Sunday, October 28. You can obsessively edit and re-edit your teams until kickoff, so get started. COME ON, DO IT. I AM PRESSURING YOU INTO SIGNING UP.

Pro Tip: Don’t draft anybody with gigantic clods of grass in their face.

He didn’t sign up, and NOW look at him!

You know the drill by now. With Leather has been teaming up to bring you top-shelf fantasy football with FanDuel.com all season. This is the last game we’re doing with them, so if you’ve been on the fence about participating before, now’s your time to shine.

We’re giving you a chance to draft a team and turn a $2 entry fee into $1,000 in prizes. That’s a $998 profit for clicking a few names. If you haven’t played before, here’s how it works:

This week’s game starts at kickoff on Sunday, October 28, so sign up for the game now and tinker with your line-ups until then. We’ve only got 555 spots available, so get in quick.

I finished 44th in the last game we did and still won money. That’s pretty efficient, right? Imagine how much you can earn if you’re GOOD at this.

A Reason To Cheer: Winning $1000 With Fanduel’s Week 5 Fantasy Football

Written by Brandon Stroud / 10.04.12

Houston Texans cheerleaders

If you click that photo, it sends you to that cheerleader’s Brazzers video. Just kidding, it doesn’t, but I hope you clicked it already.

Following my stellar 44th-place finish in our FanDuel Fantasy Football game on week 2, I’ll be signing up and finishing even better (read: way worse) in week 5. I know, I know, “44th-place” doesn’t sound like much of an accomplishment, but me finishing 44th in a fantasy football game and winning money is the equivalent of a normal person winning an Olympic gold medal.

Week 4′s game has 555 available slots, and each player is allowed to draft up to three teams for $2 a pop. That gives you up to three chances to win $1000 in prizes. Not bad. Here’s how it works:

The game starts with Sunday’s kickoff, so be sure to sign up as soon as possible and draft your squad. Get in early to guarantee your spot in the game, then obsessively rearrange your roster until Sunday afternoon. That’s what I’ll be doing, at least.

SIGN UP HERE IF YOU MISSED THOSE OTHER LINKS

I really wish they let you draft a cheerleading squad.
