What Are the Odds? 0

Sportswriter extraordinaire Bob Molinaro has a question:

Week 1 of college football drew historic TV ratings. That’s proof, it’s being said, that pay-for-play and the portal aren’t the fan turnoffs they were supposed to be. But isn’t it just as likely that online gambling has a lot to do with getting more people to a TV? What do you bet?

Next time you see one of those “you can bet from your phone” commercials, remember that those for-profit competition casinos couldn’t afford to buy all those ads if they weren’t cashing in on the marks and suckers who forget that, in the long run, the house always wins.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
