Just got Red Ring of Death on 360

Bought it off a friend, he had no issues for a year (and I trust him, and know from experience that this thing was working when he sold it, considering I am over his house quite often, smoking weed and taking money from him via Madden. He also often relies on me for CPU repair advice).

Only had this thing for 1 year.



Messed up part is that I don't think the warranty won't cover a free repair. So I think I'm going to either have to pay $99.99 for them to fix it, or find someone in the Boston area who does (hopefully for less). It's almost as if they are putting the boot to my ass and saying, "Hey, go buy a PS3! Oh wait, it's like 600 dollars, you'll never do that!"

I tried to cancel my auto-renew for my XBox 360 account online via the Web, and it is such a run-a-round. It's OK, though, I am going to have real fun when calling up the random Indian customer service rep later, and gleefully tell them the reason I am cancelling is b/c their shitty product, obv made in China, epically fails at a 35-40% rate according to polls and some hilarious youtube posts.

I think some in the State of CA have collectively sued Microsoft too. Kind of a sad day when the pitfalls of capitalism and saving an extra buck affects my video game consumerism, but yet hilarious in a fucked up way. I'm WAS member of GameFly (a Netflix-type service), it is overall a decent service for the price (2 games for 23/mo). I'm sure they'll be thrilled when they read in my cancel comments that my XBOX 360 going donkdown is the reason they are losing business.

GB -7 @ Cleveland

Bet on this yesterday, and got em in a teaser (-1) with KC (+11 vs San Diego).

If you can find the -7 before it gets off the board, take it immed! The reason is here:

World Cup Wednesday

Been making some good coin on the soccer this month. Partly this is also due to me befriending a big soccer fan who is also a degen himself.

We have started a website, miraclecovers.com, go ahead and check out some of our plays for not only soccer, but also NCAA and NFL, too.

Here are my plays today and our website's World Cup Wednesday Post.

Chile +600 v Brazil

Brazil has clinched World Cup, and is in save the starters mode. none of the players you may know are not playing today, and Chile needs a win/draw to stay alive. One unit to win 6, sign me up! You can also bet 1-2 units on the draw @ +300 to hedge as well.
s
Mexico -265 v Honduras

The Mexicans have a great home field advantage, even though they have underperformed this year. Honduras has overachieved, but still needs a win to stay alive to make their first World Cup since 1982. I've had good success betting the Mexicans' at home, so I'm betting 5.3 units to win 2. You may also want to bet 2 units on the draw (+315) here as well, and to be honest that seems more likely considering the form of the two teams playing as of late. Either way, Honduras isn't winning in Azteca Stadium, especially with the smog and heat projected today down there.

WTFaments

Damn you eurodonks and the US dollar inflation.

I run good.
