Make me an offer for 500 GoldenPalace.com poker chips

The story ...

Last summer, I won sixty cents in a free poker tournament at PKR.com. I planned on playing until I lost it all, but PKR.com decided not to take U.S. players for real-money games when Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. I cashed out and asked my readers what I should do with my sixty-cent check. One suggested I try to trade it for something better. So here I am, trying turn my sixty-cent check into a World Series of Poker Main Event entry through a series of trades. And while my plan may seem ridiculous, it's no more ridiculous than the UIGEA.

Picks for the next three matches

I'm happy to report that all three favorites won in the Cricket World Cup over the weekend, just as I predicted. I like picking three at a time, so I'm going to give it another go today.

I promise to come back and make a tidy chart like I did for the group stage, but for now, I'm just posting my picks. Look for the handy-dandy chart later today or tomorrow.

I'll take New Zealand at 1/16 over Bangladesh today, Ireland to pull off the upset at 9/1 over South Africa, and Sri Lanka at 2/5 to beat England.
