Matthew McConaughey: Two for The Money

Are you addicted to gambling? Is sports betting legal? Sports betting is big business on the internet and there are more gambling websites than ever! Walter Abrams(Al Pacino) and Brandon Lang(Matthew McConaughey) give you a sneak peak into the secret world of sports betting.

Imagine yourself, getting ready to put down a thousand dollars on the team picked to win! The game starts and you can feel the energy as your heart starts to beat faster. You know that thousand could turn into ten thousand! Your hands start to sweat and you feel the rush!

At this point, you know that everything is riding on your team to win. You owe some people a ton of money and the bills are stacking up, but you just can't stop, you know deep inside you have a winner.

Does this sound familiar? Who doesn't like the feeling of winning! Winning a little feels good, but winning an avalanche of cash is an all time high. You feel the draw and pull in your heart to be on top, no matter what the cost. You remember what it was like to win and how everyone around you cheered!

Matthew McConaughey seems to have the odds against him once his leg is injured in a college game. The injury stopped his dreams of going professional and hitting the big time. Years pass by, while he is predicting with crystal ball precision, winning sports scores for a small time 900 number company. Then one day he gets a call from Walter Abrams(Al Pacino) that changes his life.

Matthew McConaughey ends up in the New York fast lane, under the tutelage of sports betting power house Walter Abrams(Al Pacino). Matthew McConaughey consistently picks winners like a machine and becomes the Million Dollar Man.

Hold on to your blood pressure pills, because your adrenaline level will shoot through the roof watching this movie. You will be on edge as you watch Matthew McConaughey rise to the top and then go to the bottom. Do you think he will recover? The answer comes down to flipping a coin and the thrills in this movie give you a roller coaster ride from hell.

You are in the pressure cooker and you are pushing your limits. Your team had better win and your putting all your trust in the world's ultimate gambling power player. Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino deliver a world class performance. I bet Pete Rose is watching this movie with his fists clenched and hopefully no handcuffs.

How do internet sportsbooks avoid breaking the US law? Apparently, most are located offshore in foreign countries and also house their computer servers there. You can bet someone is making a fortune. Two for The Money is a winner!

If you love the thrill of sports betting, I bet you will love this movie!

Train Your Dog With God Bombs

The concept of correcting your dog can create a contest of willpower between you and your pet. Anyone who has ever lived with even a slightly naughty dog can tell you that such critters thrive on contests of willpower. A four year old child whining in Walmart for a candy bar still hasnt got the reserve of willpower held by the average dog.

For example, if youve ever corrected your dog from getting up on the couch or eating off a counter, he knows you dont like him doing it. Does he stop? Heck no. He simply does the behavior when youre not looking. Or maybe he even does it in front of you with a look that says, go ahead, try and stop me.

Thats because Fido knows what you want. But he just knows he has the option of doing it anyway because maybe, just maybe, today is the day when mom or dad doesnt have the strength to deal with me.

The answer is NOT to yell at or correct your dog more or harder. Thats a hard lesson to learn for most pet owners. But as you may have found by now, correcting more and more simply makes for an enjoyable challenge for the dog. He thinks, Go ahead, make my day, because I feel lucky today, punk.

Lets take luck out of the training process!

Here is a set of simple instructions to follow to stop your dog from doing an indoor behavior such as getting on the couch, snarfing food off counters, eating the trash, etc.

1. Do not reprimand the dog. Youll only teach him to wait till youre not around if you do so.

2. Instead, keep a supply of empty plastic milk jugs handy all over your house.

3. Into each empty gallon or gallon jug, place a couple handfuls of dried beans and replace the cap.

4. When you find the dog on the sofaor better yet eyeballing it with intentloft a jug so that it lands on or near your dog, depending on his size or temperament.

5. When you throw the jug, DO NOT look at or even say anything to your dog, and do not pick up the jug again in your dogs presence.

6. Your dog will think, Hmmm, God drops a loud bomb on my head every time I even look at the couch.

This process will not harm your dog as it certainly does not hurt. In fact, it wont even hurt his feelings because you havent yelled at him. However, it will make the behavior a great deal less fun than it was before.

You may only have to do the above once or twice to make the couch (trash, or whatever) a bad place for Fido. But what you have removed from the contest is YOURSELF. You have made the contest between Fido and God, and believe me, God always wins.
