It’s that time of year again, where every sports fan worth their paper brackets start working their own version of BRACKETOLOGY in time for some HOOPS MADNESS.
So even though we still have a few weeks to go before the 2012 tournament contenders are announced, Web Watch thought we’d share with you some of the front-runners that you may want to pay attention to while we ramp up to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

Weird Las Vegas and Nevada:
Your Alternative Travel Guide to Sin City and the Silver State
Web Watch loves visiting Las Vegas.
Then again, we also agree with our friends who say that “a little Las Vegas goes a long way”. In other words, these people don’t necessarily enjoy the entire gambling, casino, nightlife, gambling aspect of Sin City.
Web Watch knows people that took a vacation out to Nevada and other points west, and their Las Vegas experience consisted solely of driving down the Las Vegas Strip. They didn’t stop, they didn’t browse. They had lunch as a nearby McDonald’s (not even at the In-n-Out!) before continuing on their merry way.
We don’t blame them. There are aspects of Las Vegas that we don’t appreciate either. But to each their own.
But then the Nevada Gaming Control Board decided to come out with their compilation of revenue numbers and financial analysis of the 2011 gambline business, and the numbers look a bit unusual to us here at Web Watch.

Mike Caro’s Book of Poker Tells
It’s a long weekend, so what better reason to ring in the New Year by getting together with your buddies for a late night of cigar smoking and poker playing?
But before you do, you might want to read up a little bit on how to recognize a “poker tell” – that is, those silent signs that your poker opponents aroung the table give off when they have a good or bad hand.
Some of these little ticks are done on purpose – players think that they can indicate whether they have a worse hand than they actually do by doing or saying something to throw you off the scent. Other tells are things your body does whether you realize it or not.

This is an open letter to the marketing staff at MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Sands, and other casino corporations. And if you’re part of the marketing staff at a different type of company, you may want to pay attention to this as well – since the core takeaway here applies to you as well.

Dave’s Insanity Ghost Pepper Private Reserve
2011 Sauce with Bhut Jolokia Pepper
Web Watch has talked about insane bets in the past.
You’re already aware about the “you can’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour” bet, which is just old-school tired by now.
We’ve told you not to try the “you can’t take a tablespoon of cinnamon” bet, that could cause someone to choke and need an emergency room visit. Seriously, don’t do it.
We’ve even told you about the WENDY’S VALUE MEAL CHALLENGE, which is near impossible to comlete by the average fast-food lover.

Idiots on the Miniature Golf Course
Rick Baird from Charlotte, North Carolina, is not an idiot, nor does he play “miniature golf”.
He plays Putt-Putt, and he’s really good at it.
Web Watch knows you’re confused — isn’t putt-putt golf and miniature golf the same thing? No, dear reader, it isn’t. Putt-Putt is a franchised company that defines a standard set of putting challenges that will be mainly the same from one Putt-Putt location to another. Consistency is important here, and putting is a true skill to be showcased.
Miniature golf, on the other hand, is the one with windmills, gorillas, fake blue water, tunnels, obstacles, and other entertainment stuff scattered across the putting surface and environment. Definitely not the same thing.

Wilson NCAA Men’s Basketball 2011 Final Four Bracket Basketball
For college basketball fans, it’s the week that matters. When office workers everywhere stop pretending to do work when filling out their brackets and start pretending to do work while sneaking in a mini-TV to hide under their desks so they don’t miss a minute of CBS’s coverage.
This is one benefit of the switch to digital TV, that you won’t find as many portable TV sets hiding at the office as you used to — but there’s always the Internet, so as long as your network administrator hasn’t blocked access to the streaming video websites, you should be good.
So a few weeks ago, Web Watch shared some TIPS FOR FILLING OUT YOUR 2011 BASKETBALL BRACKET. Since then, some additional information has come out that we thought we’d share with you.
