Bookmaker is generally considered a reliable pro book. They were one of the books i was hoping to go into. 5dimes, bookmaker and betdsi.

Yeah, the BM poker room where the feds stepped in and charged them or investigated them or something. I can't recall all the details, and I don't know if the players got their money or not.

[edman5555]

Are you talking about a poker room that bookmaker owned and operated? Did the players get their money?

[MMA_scientist]

^^ That is pretty much what I do too. But I only keep enough to cover my bets in there, I don't keep anywhere near $9k online. I used to keep the whole thing online, but then I realized that I was much more likely to lose my bankroll by the book stealing it than by losing bets. I have no doubts that eventually a book is going to fold and keep my money. I pulled out of BM when the poker room got hit.

Scary Svino. What do you make of this? I am probably going to be starting a 15k bankroll in January. The ufc on the 19th. At least I was planning on doing it.

I am a little bit concerned about incidents like this, so I don't keep too much money in BookMaker. I personally tend to keep between 4 and 9k there, withdrawing money when it builds up. "Bankroll" is basically a term of accounting. One doesn't necessarily need to literally keep all the money that is in their bankroll on the site (I treat my bankroll as 10k). You can keep a big chunk of it in your domestic bank (in money-market accounts or something) and deposit or withdraw extra from the sportsbook as needed.

There's no secret Mike Tomlin is really Omar Epps.

No doubt. I thought everyone knew that.

And THAT'S why I don't like bitches who are bouncers.

I dunno, but I swear Colin Kaepernick is secretly Cliff Curtis.

Ray Elbe reportedly suffered a horrendous injury while having sex with his girlfriend recently, essentially breaking his penis and passing out from the pain.

There.

That is pretty much all you need to know and can carry on with your day knowing full well that a remarkable athlete was struck down by fate with a malady I didn't even know was possible.

I am guessing you want more of the graphic details involving one man's penis and how it went about breaking during sex. By all means, continue. But know that you have been warned.

MMA Underground (h/t TMZ) reports the MMA fighter who featured on "Ultimate Fighter 9," Ray Elbe, was rushed to the hospital earlier this month while staying in Malaysia.

Not only did he reportedly break his penis, the injury apparently required the use of 10 stitches, pretty much making this the worst story ever.

...he was having sex with his GF, who was "on top"...when she bounced a little too high, and crunched Ray's erect penis.

According to Ray, his penis "fractured"...and "blood was everywhere." Ray says he immediately passed out from the pain.

Feeling a little woozy myself, TMZ. Thanks.

He was taken to the hospital where he was treated for what the report calls, "a slight tear in his urinary tube."

That whole thing is just some crazy shit.

I still have to think that the "professional" books like BM are safe though . . . right?
