Top 5 2019 NFL Win Total Bets

Image
LVLE Faithful, it has been too long. Apologies for the prolonged absences, but that being said the NFL season is right around the corner and I know you are all ready to make some extra money. Some of the best bets to make are futures. The payouts are worth while and if you know what you are doing, it can be very easy to pick out obvious winners. Here are my favorite over/ under totals for the upcoming season. (All lines provided by  https://www.actionnetwork.com/nfl/2019-nfl-win-totals-betting-odds-vegas ) 1) Jacksonville over 8 (-115)               The Jaguars are just one year removed from a season in which they were a few missed calls away from going to the Super Bowl. Tom Terrific really needed all the help he could get from the refs in that one, but that is neither here nor there. Jacksonville has retained the core pieces of that team. The defense is covered head to toe with playmakers. AJ Bouye and Jalen Ramsey remain one of the best CB duos in the league, Myles Jack anchors

LVLE Update

Image
That's right. I'M NOT FUCKING LEAVING! Classic line from Leo. Ok, now that I have set the tone and grabbed your attention, let me update you guys on what is going on at the Las Vegas Lock Exchange world headquarters. First off, I would like to apologize for the staggering lack of picks and content from the site. I know we haven't followed through on a lot of promises that have been made about where we want to take this site, nor have there been many picks on the twitter as of late. We have not been active because there isn't really anything that is interesting us in the sports/gambling world right now. I fell like we let down the minuscule following that we have. Now, I assure all you out there on the internet that we aren't going anywhere. I guess you could say that we took a little brake. Let's be honest though, it's not like we are that good at picking NBA or shitty NHL games. That stuff is kind of hard, and I don't like to give out shitty pi

The NCAA Section Committee is the Worst

Image
I don't think anyone has ever said this before, but I think it has to be said; the selection committee fucking blows. Year after year they come out with their 68 team brackets, seeding every team 1-16. Now, you would think these guys would know a good amount about the game of college basketball, right? I mean, they are on the committee for a reason. Guess what? THESE GUYS DON'T KNOW SHIT. Every fucking year, you get these stupid ass upsets that just don't make sense. As I'm writing this, Wofford is tied with Kentucky in the round of 32. We had UC Irvine beat K-State yesterday, a 13 see beating a 4 seed. Like, come on guys! You guys are the worst at seeding these teams. If you were any good at your job, there would be no upsets in the tournament, and my bracket could be perfect every year, but that is just too much to ask for. Why even rank the teams at all? Just do what they do at Wimbledon and draw names out a hat, seriously. I'm getting sick and tired of bein

October Over March Every Day

Image
I hate to poo poo on everyone’s parade as March Madness is about to begin, but the title says it all; October is a better sports month than March. You all might be wondering if I’m high right now, or just straight up retarded, but I assure you the logic is sound. October has IT ALL. NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and CFB all happening at the same time. What more do you want? For starters, football is on almost every night of the week, NFL 3 nights, while college football is on around 3 nights a week, even if it is #MACtion. Just the pure notion of an October Saturday tailgating and watching your favorite CFB team gets me so excited. The MLB playoffs are going on all month, with some of the most exciting and intense games that the 4 major sports in North America have to offer. It always seems like I’m up until 2 AM watching marathon games, but they are so fun. The NBA and NHL seasons start in the month of October, where everyone’s favorite teams have a clean slate and a bunch of hope to

UFC 235 Preview! Greatest Card in UFC History?

Image
Here we go! Not much better in the world of sports than a good UFC card, and this is quite possibly the best one in UFC history. According to UFC.com, their "best event ever" is UFC 202, headlined by McGregor vs Diaz 2. While that event was crazy, look for tonight to top it. UFC 235 has everything needed for a legendary night. From the  long-awaited debut of Ben Askren to Jon Bones Jones defending the title for the first time since his return. I've picked the best fights from tonight to give the LVLE faithful the bets that'll make tonight even more memorable. *All pictures provided by  https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-235#   Fight #1 : Jeremey Stephens (+220) vs Zabit Magomedsharipov (-280)        Obviously the odds are not in Stephens favor right here. I think he has a better chance than some are giving him because of his striking ability. Stephens is a good boxer with some power and speed, but he is and forever will be known for the "Who the fook is that

Call to Action: The Big 10 Needs to Release Song Info for Commercial

I'm sure everyone reading this follows the Big 10 with some degree of regularity. It would be no surprise then if one has seen the commercial linked below. https://youtu.be/sfhfmMipf7k The first time listening to the commercial I heard the song not thinking much of it. Second time listening I realized the song was absolute fire. Third time listening I held my phone up to the screen hoping the lyrics would be picked up. That was during the football season... I have been determined to figure out what the song is called and who sings it for months now. The Big 10 not giving me the information I need is just another piece of evidence to prove that they are frauds. From here-on-out I am putting a curse on The Big 10 until they pony up and tell me the song. This is terrible news for Michigan because it just adds pressure to the failing Jim Harbaugh. The only way that man is getting into Lucas Oil Stadium is if he pays a ticket to see the Colts. Michigan State hasn't smelled

Pass The Cup: A Baseball Gambling Game

Image
Personally I can’t watch baseball on TV, it’s too slow. However, I do love going to games. I attribute this largely to a great game a was taught a few years back. The game is simple and you only need a couple things. First you need a cup, next you need to make sure everyone’s got a nice stack of singles. $10 to $20 should do.   You start up with an ante.   Everyone puts $3 in the cup and set your rotation. I usually play left to right down the row. Don’t pass it like a snake draft, ruins the fun. The game is very simple.   Whoever is holding the cup, that’s their batter. When the next batter is up, pass the cup. Below is what makes you pay into the cup, and what let’s you cash out.   Strikeout: -2  Fly/ground out: -1 Ejection: -20 Single: +1 Double: +2 Triple: +3  Home run: take the cup  (-) means put money in cup  (+) means take money out  When the cup is empty, re-ante.  The game is great because even if you don’t like baseball, throwing some money ar
