WINNING AND VEGAS A GOOD COMBINATION

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. As with most of you, this is a very busy time. I am leaving for Vegas on Thursday. One of the things I am having the opportunity to do is go to Vegas and speak to people that are in Vegas on company vacations about how "not to go broke" while in Vegas. Most seminar go-ers in Vegas are not "gamblers". They go to Vegas for their company trip and all of a sudden become "Kenny Rogers". They pull up to a blackjack table, order a Corona and sit there until they have a headache and are broke. When they go home, they are hungover and couldn't tell you one thing they heard in the meetings they attended. This is where I can help. I go in and give these guys a crash course in responsible gambling. I explain how they can have a great time while setting some limits with their money and their behavior. I teach them how to play the other casino games. I help them set a budget and give them a "plan of attack" while gambling on their business trip. Any WINNING gambler will tell you that discipline and structure are the keys to winning. The Las Vegas bowl is going on this weekend and the company I am meeting with is a sponsor of the game.

I am really running good right now. We were 7-2 last week in hoops and are winning 2 out of every 3 selections I release. This is a good thing. My Monday night record is now 16-4 and I haven't lost on Monday night in 2 months. This is a great time to get hot. Not only is it great for the clients that are spending Christmas money. It is great because I sound a lot more creditable when I am talking to upper management guys in Vegas. They have been getting my selections for about a month as part of my speaking package. It is a way for me to get "street cred" with the rich folks. lol

If you are thinking about betting on the Bowl Games, now is a great time to get signed up. We are playing 4 games for double our average bet and are getting ready to send a holiday scud missile into our books house. Have a great week and I will make an entry from Vegas to let you know how it's going.
