About 6 months ago we posted about You Make the Call, a game for baseball fanatics that shows you an HD video of a baseball play and then asks you to make the proper judgement, as though you were the umpire. The plays are really difficult to judge and the game is a great concept, but it still needs a little work. The You Make the Call app features:
- Baseball video challenges that provide three possible answers and 10 seconds to choose correctly
- Answers and explanations that review key elements of play
- Intense competition – players can win points, see where they rank against others, beat their own score, and even challenge a friend
Currently, the app is around 6MB, which is a huge memory savings considering it was originally over 200MB. The problem is that the video files take up a lot of space for the game, so if you don’t have much memory on your device, be careful with installing this. Hopefully they figure out how to keep the video on the SD card, separated from the app itself. It’s also not clear what their device support is like so some users may have a better experience than others.

Leroy’s Sportsbook, owned by American Wagering, has launched a BlackBerry app that lets you gamble from your BlackBerry, as long as your GPS says you are located in Nevada and you have registered in person at an American Wagering location to avoid underage gambling or identity theft.
After signing up, players will receive a download link via text message. The app then lets players bet on sporting events with options for straight and parlay bets as well as in-game wagering.
To download the app, the site gives the following links but they seem to be broken. It could be that you need to be in Nevada to even download app.
Download OTA for the BlackBerry Storm or Torch (or newer) click here (OS 4.7 and higher)

Landmarks View – Use this list of landmarks to check your precise distance to the front, center, and back of green, and distance to hazards.
Aerial Hole View – See the entire course before tee-off to determine distances for your planned strokes. Plan all shots before tee-off with a plotter that provides distances required for each stroke.
Aerial Green View – Before your approach shot, check your distance to any point on the green with pinpoint accuracy.
