It’s November. What sport should I be focusing on with my betting and handicapping?

Today we tackle two questions in one, since related inquiries came in coincidentally from two different readers at almost the same time. First up: "From time to time you mention Bob Stupak’s Vegas World vacation packages from the old days. I remember seeing print ads for the VW offers when I was a kid. I also remember seeing commercials featuring Telly Savalas for something called 'Players Club International.' Was this in any way Las Vegas- (or Atlantic City-) related? Was this a deal similar to the one at Vegas World?" Part II: "Was Telly Savalas a resident of Nevada? He seemed to like to gamble; he even filmed one of the ’Kojak’ episodes there."

Can you explain the differences between "middle," "side," "scalp," and "straddle"?

Can you explain the new "Inside Wager" option being offered by Cantor Gaming at M Resort?

I read a book entitled "War of the Godfathers" and the book states that a casino was to built by operatives of the Chicago Mob. It also suggests that former Desert Inn owner, Moe Dalitz was murdered. I have followed the history of Las Vegas and the Mob for years and I don’t know anything about "The Star" and i believe that Moe Dalitz died of natural causes. Can you verify?
