We are in the middle of what has been a very busy stretch for me. After wrapping up Jackson's football team and the start of basketball, things have not let up. Last Saturday was my worst Saturday in 3 years!!!! Although we are going to have bad days each season, I hate it when it is on a Saturday. One of the down sides to winning most of the time is that when we lose, guys are not use to it. They get upset and some behave like children that have never bet before. After 7 years of offering my selections I am use to this and don't worry but I always try and remind guys that bet that the decisions you make when we are having a bad day will affect your overall profit just as much as the decisions you make when we are winning. It is hard for gamblers to stay patient. They want to try and get it all back before Sunday morning and I have to remind them that it is a long season in which we are making a lot of money and it is OK to have a losing day now and then. We did turn around on Sunday and go 4-1 and having been up before Saturday AND another winner Monday night with Cleveland, we are doing great. The only people complaining are "the idiots", and I learned a long time ago, you cant please the idiots.
I am heading back to Vegas tomorrow for the second round of the Leroy's Sports book Money Talks Invitational. You might recall, in the first round I went up against a professional gambler named Jorge Gonzales. I didn't know Jorge as he is a "Vegas regular" and although the radio show was fun, we had very little to talk about. This weekend, I am going up against Lee Sterling of Paramount Sports. Lee is a guy from Miami that is one of the few guys in the business that I am friends with. He is a good gambler and a nice guy. We have a lot in common and this weekend should be a lot of fun. Although, I feel great about my chances this weekend and am confident I will move into the semifinals, if I don't win this contest I will be pulling for Lee. If you are in Vegas this weekend, we will be at the Riviera Casino on Friday night doing an hour radio show. I would love to meet you and talk to you about this weeks games. The radio show should be very entertaining as Lee and I do a lot of radio each week around the country. This will also be a great chance to make some money while in Vegas. The fact is Lee and I win with our selections each year and will be giving our best selections for the week in hopes of winning the contest. If you play both of our selections( 14 in all) there is a VERY good chance you are going to make money. I suspect it will take at least 5-2 to advance to the next round as there is a great chance we will both go over .500 with our selections. If you cant make it to Vegas this weekend, you can listen to the show on line by going to www.leroys.com and clicking on the Leroy's Sports Hour. The show is live from the Riviera each Friday night at 10pm Vegas time.
