Brandon's 55 Percenters
A mediocre day yesterday, going 1-1 on my two NBA bets. I’ll include my all-time record after this post, but know that I won’t add my college bowl bets until all of them are final. I’ll finally get to some NCAA basketball bets as well. To the picks!

Brandon's 55 Percenters
So, I’ve been neglecting all of our fans and I’m terribly sorry. I continue to make wagers without telling you, and I’ve been doing quite well. From here on out, I will be quickly posting any bets for that night, maybe with a short write up, maybe without one. Here are my two picks for this evening…
Oklahoma City / New Jersey UNDER 195
Too many points for two teams who...

Jake's 'Mikey's for the Weekend... Teaser Edition
I’ve had a pretty good run in the last two weeks. Although I did not do any gambling over the weekend I’ve gone 8-0-1 in my last 9 bets (encompassing 10 days). So with this false sense of confidence I’ve started to branch out and get a little more ballsy. I have decided to tease a few bets. For those of you who do not know how Teasers work, it is a parlay bet placed on...

Late Jersey Shore Power Rankings 12.22.09

Episode 1.4 – Fade to Black
Each week ADPTP will have a semi-sports related comment thanks to the worst thing to happen to the East Coast since 9/11 - MTV’s Jersey Shore (Cracked.com). It’s relevant because there’s a ton of booze on the show and Power Rankings have to kind of do with Sports. This is a little late, but seeing as The Shore is on a 2 week break I figured I’d have...
Podcast
Due to scheduling conflicts, we were unable to record our usual Monday evening podcast. We will be back with a vengeance Wednesday evening with our Week 16 NFL Preview. Next Monday will be our all encompassing NCAA Bowl Preview, where we will look at the BCS Bowls and other bowls we find interesting. We apologize and look forward to Wednesday’s poddy!

Brandon's 55 Percenters, Bowl Edition
I finally had my first under .500 week on my fifty five percenters, which had to happen eventually. I suppose I am glad to have it out of the way although it dropped me to .547 on the year, JUST under my goal, but at least still ahead of the juice in the sportsbook. It is all OK though, now it is one of the best times of the year. That’s right, college bowl betting season begins on Saturday. ...

Wednesday 'Mikey's
I know it’s odd to see a ‘Mikey’ up mid week but I just got paid and you know poppa has the itch to gamble. It’s not an addiction because I’m not willing to do things that will make my parents disown me… like the things I do for alcohol. But I still love gambling none the less.

Brandon's 55 Percenters
Welcome to my first 55 Percenter post here on the new domain name. I had a solid 60% week at 3-2 a week ago, pushing my running total up to 15-10-1 (.596). Fifty five percent is nothing for me! Uh oh…now I’ve angered the gambling gods, hopefully they don’t smite me this week.

Jake's 'Mikey's for the Weekend
Well, it’s Friday once again folks, and you know what that means - ‘Mikey’s which will be sure to disappoint. I’m at 13-13-1 which is maybe the most frustrating place to be in for a gambler. It’s just like Limbo, it’s driving you nuts that you can’t get anywhere, you’ll slowly leak money, and it’s full of unbaptized babies. My...

Very Sad News
We apologize to you all, but due to the Packer game this evening, the week in review podcast is being delayed. We will be taping it Tuesday night and it will be posted that same night. If you need your Al Davis Plus the Points fix, the posts will have to suffice until tomorrow night.
Oh My...
I don’t know if anyone had missed it on the ‘Atrocious Injuries from the Weekend’ segment on Sportscenter, but below is the video of Vikings’ E.J. Henderson breaking his Femur. This might go in the Pantheon of Bad Leg Breaks with Joe Theismann, Side Vicious, Bryant Young and Willis McGahee. Enjoy
Don't Be Stupid...Bama-Texas is the Right Game
Posted by Brandon
With the Alabama and Texas wins Saturday night, it is extremely likely to be announced tonight that those two teams will meet for the BCS National Championship in January. With Texas winning a close, tough game against Nebraska, some are beginning to yell that Texas Christian or Cincinnati belong in the game instead of Texas. They will throw statistics at you, schedules at...
