Las Vegas Lock Exchange

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...

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 ...

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 "...

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...

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 i...

Welcome to the first ever Bad Beat Breakdown. I will try to make this a weekly blog where I take a look at the worst beats throughout the week. Let's see all the possible ways you could have lost (or won) money in the worst possible way imaginable. 5. Purdue @ Penn State Under 139 End of game free throws are THE WORST. Why foul if you are down 10 points with only 20 seconds to go? Beats me, but the Nittany Lions thought it was a good idea Saturday afternoon. HEY FUCKOS, YOU CAN'T WIN! Because of that critical play, Carsen Edwards makes both of his free throws, making the score 76-64, with a total of 140. Devastating. Then Penn State gives up after they miss a 3 on the other end. Under 139 bettors, I would like to apologize on behalf of all of Happy Valley. 4. Cavaliers +7.5 @ Nets This one sucked if you bet on the Cavs. They went into THREE OVERTIMES. All Cleveland had to do was not tie and easily cover the 7.5 in regulation, the 1st OT, or the 2nd OT. BUT NO! They ...

I thought this argument was over. We were so close to ending this completely moronic discussion, so I'm here to put the nail in the coffin. Kobe Bryant has never been, is not, and never will be better than Lebron. Please stop fooling yourself to believe anything different. To understand this argument, one must understand the men we are talking about. This being said, lets start at childhood. Kobe was born into a wealthy family because his dad was a professional basketball player both in the NBA and overseas. Lebron was born to a single mother in Akron. Who's come-up story is more inspiring to the young NBA fan looking for a role model?  Both Kobe and Lebron were drafted out of high school. Lebron obviously went #1 to the Cavs, a terrible organization with awful ownership, coaching and teammates surrounding him. Kobe was drafted to the Hornets with the 13th pick and immediately traded him to a top 2 NBA franchise.  How did each player play their rookie year?...
