I'm tired of running to my computer when I want in-game action. Can someone recommend a gadget I can use to place bets from my couch while watching games. My laptop is too bulky. I want something in the palm of my hand that will allow me to roam from book to book and place bets quickly. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use a mini. They're really cheap now.
I just received one from Dell about 10 days ago. I included mobile broadband on it, and it's the bomb. I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 9.

I still use my home desktop most of the time. The mini is good if I want to lounge in family or living room, or even on the road (or at a friend's or a relative's). :)

I have both a full sized laptop and an asus mini...the mini comes with wifi built in,and i gotta tell ya, i sit it next to me either on my nightstand or on the end table, wherever we are watching tv and bring up whatever game i wanna watch on atdhe.net etc and just let it run while we watch hells kitchen or whatever on the big screen,,,,,it has saved my marriage...well worth the 300 bucks these things are going for now adays...you can keep an eye on your games, make your bets and it fits on any nightstand/end table easily...awesome.

Calvin,

I have been thinking about buying a mini over a laptop. Just because I don't want to lug the laptop around.

Have you found that it has good speed to it? I want it to run a program that I have that is pretty large. It uses a text file database that can be a nightmare to load if on a slow computer.

I can't answer for Calvin, but a friend of mine bought one last week.
He ran Sportsoptions on it, and it was fast with no problems.
Also had 5 windows opened

I know what your saying. It's alot like me wanting to lose weight without having to do shit. I don't wanna move at all. I want my bed in front of my T.V. but then I'll have to push buttons on the remote. Got to come up with a way where I won't have to do that but yet be able to change channels.

Yeah, here's a suggestion. Implant a remote in your penis that will sense your tuggology in such a way that it will sense a bet on Oklahoma instead of a bet on Memphis Grizzlies vs. a bet on the Philly Flyers and God forbid a bet against Lola on American Idol!!! What else would you like? How about a fucking robot that comes and picks up your car and drives it to the car wash so you can lay in bed and enjoy your Frito and CheezIt omelette you cad!!! May the Good Lord allow you to pick your nose while some wayward bimbo jumps on your computer and gets down on heavy on some Spurs ML action! Get off your marshmallow couch Pugsley!!!! (<)<

Why doesn't he have a valid point beyond what you view as being lazy?

He is asking about it for in game action. While watching a game do you want to walk to your computer until a line is posted by the book that you see value in?

I highly recommend the Asus mini with the built in wi-fi. I don't know what I would do without it. Now if I can just get somebody to bring me a beer I would never have to leave the recliner.
