i started to bet on the net yesterday... at first, i was kinda scared and i have absolutely no idea what i was doing... but after reading and studying the different type of bets and all that stuff for an hour, i placed some bets on a few nfl teams who i think may pull of an upset over the heavily favored ones... betting for an underdog and winning gets you a higher amount of winnings compared to betting for a favorite and winning...
i placed a combination bet on 3 teams who i think will win this week for a measly $2... now, if either one of them loses on their respective games, then i lose my bet... but, if those 3 teams win their games, i'd win a whopping $33... nice, huh? hehehe!
i just hope i don't get addicted with this online betting scheme... i should control myself on placing bets online and not let myself get into this and become an addict...
Movie and television actress and former beauty queen Rio Diaz, 45, died Sunday night in a hospital in California, United States due to cancer which afflicted her for six long years.
The former Eat Bulaga mainstay suffered from colon cancer which was diagnosed in December of 1998.
Rio, who was often been reported to be on the verge of death everytime she was in the US for treatment, died last Sunday night, 10:30 p.m. (7:30 a.m. Manila time, Monday, Oct. 4), at the Seton Hospital in California.
---------
my prayers are with Rio Diaz's family and friends...
the MLB Postseason will officially start tomorrow here in the us, and it's now time for me to make my predictions on who's going to win it all in October:
National League:
Division Series:
Houston Astros (NL Wild Card winner) over Atlanta Braves (NL East Champs) in 5 games
St. Louis Cardinals (NL Central Champs) over Los Angeles Dodgers (NL West Champs) in 4
Championship Series:
St. Louis Cardinals over Houston Astros in 7
American League:
Division Series:
Boston Red Sox (AL Wild Card Winner) over Anaheim Angels (AL West Champs) in 4
New York Yankees (AL East Champs) over Minnesota Twins (AL Central Champs) in 4
Championship Series:
Boston Red Sox over New York Yankees in 5
World Series:
Boston Red Sox over St. Louis Cardinals in 6
----------
yup, i'm picking the Red Sox to win it all this month, becoming the 3rd straight year that a wild card team will win the World Series (Florida Marlins in 2003, Anaheim Angels in 2002) and, in the process, ending the dreaded "Curse of the Bambino"...
