Most Frequently Asked Question: WHAT Am I Doing Out Here?

Before I recap my first week and change out here, I find that the most common question I've been getting right after "How are you doing" is "WHAT are you doing?"

I'm working for a website called Sports Book Review (SBR for short), or more specifically the forum section of the site, http://forum.sbrforum.com.

The main website (http://www.sportsbookreview.com), as its name suggests, reviews all of the sports books on the internet to let players know where the safest and best places to play are, as well as which books are unsafe and should be avoided. Since players that get cheated by scam sports books have no legal course of action to take to get their money back, it is important to have a good idea of what books are legitimate and which are not before playing anywhere.

The forum aspect of the site is where gamblers and sports fans come together and talk about betting, sports, and just about anything else. The forum also has a place where posters can upload videos (http://www.sbr.tv) as well as make personal profiles (postername.mysbrforum.com).

My job is to help moderate the forum and add content to the site. I will be making sports handicapping videos and writing sports handicapping articles as well. We also have some projects that we are working on to make the site even bigger and better.

So to answer your question, THAT is what I am doing. Hopefully this helped clear it up for some of you! I'm VegasDave on the forum if any of you decide to check it out and/or sign up!

More updates coming soon,

Blog Created!

Hey everyone.

If you are here, you are probably either family or friend. Or at the very least, an interested acquaintance.

If none of the above are true, this blog probably won't be all that interesting to you.

Out here all alone in Texas, I think about all of you quite a bit. Yes, even you specifically, person that is reading this. This move has really made me reflect on all of the great friends I've made over the years, whether we are extremely close or just throw each other a hello once every couple of months.

You take your friends for granted sometimes; you know that they are always a phone call away from hanging out over the weekend, so you don't always make that phone call. When it is no longer an option, that is when you realize how much you will miss them.

But aside from my capacity to be a jerk at times, I hope that I have treated you, my family and friends, with respect and have made it clear to you all how important you are to me and that I'll always be there for you if you need me.

Anyway, I got to thinking about what would be the easiest way to keep you guys in the loop on how I was doing out here, and starting a blog made the most sense. I'm not really the "journal" type, but I think enough of you care about me and want to see how I'm doing, so I figured this would be worthwhile.

In my next post (sometime this weekend more than likely) I'll tell you about my first week here in San Antonio, and once I get everything moved in and tidied up I'll take a bunch of pictures and post them here as well.

If you get the chance, please leave a comment and let me know how YOU are doing! Would definitely make me feel more at home keeping in touch with you guys.

Thanks for stopping by,
Dave
