Hangover” is proudly presented by “Das Bier”

“Das Fest” can one buy beer bottles labeled “Das Bier”. Your friendly bookie
does not often drink beer…but when he does, he prefers “Das Bier”. May we all
meet again together under cerulean Southern German Skies. Bleib durstig,
Kumpels!

No time to update the “Hot Girl Standings” as I’ve not yet
had time to review the matches. What a terrible fucking day, both in terms of
the Syndicate and the so-called “Real World”. Your friendly bookie hasn’t had a
day this bad all year ; ( ; (
The Good News is that I’ve opted to take a well-deserved
night off. Full coverage of my debilitating losses tomorrow. Now it’s time to
kick back and enjoy the U.S. Quarterfinal Match with friends.
USA! USA! USA!
No more Syndicate or “Slave Labor” this evening. Here are
tomorrow’s lines. Spain and Italia roll upwards. Betting on the Azzuro will
close after one more wager.
DAY SEVEN—PREVIEW
Italy vs. Sweden
Those who entered wagers are luck…others, not so much
THE
LINE: Italy +2 Goals (rolling up hard from “pick”
Czech Republic vs. Croatia
Not much interest in this one. Fair enough. Hard to keep
Slavs together…or apart
THE
LINE: Croatia +1 Goal (holding)
Spain vs. Turkey
No love for the Turks, and I can’t say I blame you.
THE
LINE: Spain +2 Goals (rolling up soft from Spain +1)
