My friend Mike Sexton is very ill.... Mike is pretty famous for his work in the poker world so many of my followers will know of him... He is one of the most universally liked humans in the gambling world... Mike is always funny and charming and is a friend to the friendless

Hi, this is a family friend of Alan "Dink." It is with great sadness that we share that Alan is in hospice. He fought the good fight in the ICU this past week, but he knew it was time to transition to hospice today. He is being given morphine every 4 hours and resting comfortably

dear william hill.. while many other sports books move their lines without taking a bet you choose to leave the line unchanged yet refuse to take a bet on the hot side but will take a play on the cold side.. as in you can bet BYU -2 but not Utah st +2. Unethical to the core
