About This Site

This site has the sole purpose of making degenerate gambling addicts incredibly wealthy.

It is not a site for fans and foes to spout off and express their opinions and tell everyone else how dumb they are. There are plenty of blogs to do that sort of thing. Max Steingrout is not a fan of blogs. He made that abundantly clear on a radio show with WEEI's Dale & Holley when Holley asked him what he thought of blogs and he replied, "I hate blogs." He later heartily applauded Buzz Bissinger when the best-selling author denounced bloggers on a Bob Costas HBO show.

Bloggers, however, are welcome to visit this site; as are freaks, fantasy leaguers, and crystal meth-heads.

Max Steingrout, creator of this site, will help with the column writing but also invites others to join in. "Joke of the Day?" Help youself. "Ask the Dentist?" Who needs to floss? If you have a friend that can pass gas on command, please send a note and he or she will be invited to join the site.

E-mail comments are also invited, but may not be published.

"I have spent my entire professional, adult life in the gambling world, where others love to scream and shout and tell you how great their picks are. Then they'll turn around and charge you money for them," Max said. "Then they'll lose! It's a crock of shit. I'll post my picks and I won't charge anything for them. If they lose, they lose. Screw you."








Who is the Chickenhawk?

Max Steingrout was a Las Vegas betting fixture/living legend known as "The Chickenhawk" in the late 80's and early 90's. He boasts that he is the only Vegas sports bettor to make it in and out of Vegas' Black Book.

After the 1989 Superbowl Max, aka- The Chickenhawk was on top of the Vega$ world. He won the Sports Futures Competition and won the National NBA Handicappers Pool with a winning percentage, & still Caesars' record, of .720. "I'm on fire! The more I bet, the more I win!" He exclaimed in an article for Sports Illustrated in March of 1991.

Soon, however, the good times ended. Crank addiction turned smack, Max chased the dragon and saw his sports betting empire fold like a pair of deuces up against a full house.

Max credits his mentor, Jake "The Fizz" Fizzario (RIP), for straightening him out.

"Fizz was the man." Max said, "A true gambling & life inspiration. He had revolutionary gambling ideas. He was almost spiritual about his picks."
