ALL I CAN SAY IS .....WOW!!!

Actually, I can think of a lot of other things I could say but I am trying to stay classy!!  Kidding. I am in Vegas wrapping up my handicapping contest. Here is the long and short of it. I went 5-2 this weekend with my selections. My winners were

 

CSU+2- WON STRAIGHT UP

ARIZONA-3  WON BY MORE THAN 10

BUFFALO +6 - WON STRAIGHT UP

SAN DIEGO +3 - WON STRAIGHT UP

ATLANTA +3  WON STRAIGHT UP!!!

 

My losers were

SAN FRAN AND

CAROLINA ON SUNDAY NIGHT

As you can see, no luck here. Just good winners and a bad loser and Carolina.

 

I went against the owner of eog.com . His name is Ken and he is a nice guy. Obviously, he has been volunteering with orphans or something.

 

Along with his winners, he had the NAVY total to go OVER. If you remember, this game, it was the one where Wake was trying to run out the clock by handing the ball to their fullback from about the 40 yard line and on the last possible play that wouldnt be a kneel down, Navy stopped tackling!!!! They simply let the Wake player run 40 yards for a meaningless score,unless you needed the game to stay under the total. THEN Tonight he had the Giants -3. I dont need to tell you what happened there.  So here is where we stand, if Green Bay wins on Monday night OR loses by 4pts or less, Ken wins. I will take my 21-7 record and head into the new year!!!!  If Chicago , and their high powered offense can somehow figure a way to win by more than 4 points, we tie. Yes, TIE. I am not sure what we will do to break the tie but stay tuned if Chicago covers. 

 

I will be somewhere between Vegas and Orlando when the game is over. That is probably best, I dont need to watch an intentional safety for a 2 point Chicago win. .

 

I promise to be in a better mood next time, no matter what happens. It is Christmas week and I have a lot to be thankful for. It was just a tough weekend to watch the games. Have a good week. Jack

MAYHAM IN THE AM AND PM BUT......READY

It has been a CRAZY week. I got back from Vegas on Saturday, church on Sunday, Fat Jack Sports Hour taping on Monday, meetings Tuesday at the Lucky Star about poker and with a slot machine company that wants to develop a Fat Jack machine.... you get the idea. In the meantime, word went around the "gambling world" that I made the finals of the Leroys Money Talks contest. I am going up against a guy that owns a gambling website and made some comments that were meant to drive traffic to his website. Just as I was reading some of the ridiculous things he was saying, he called. He wanted to talk about the contest and discuss some different split options we might entertain so we both would make more money for our efforts. I wanted to talk about rather he had lost his f***ing mind. I asked him if the reason he was guaranteeing victory and saying I was scared was because he didn't take his medication OR if he had lost his f***ing mind. He said anything he said was because he was drumming up traffic for his website and to hype the contest. I all of the sudden felt like a wrestler in the WWE that hadn't been given the script.  After we worked through that, things calmed down and then I was off to Vegas today. Until.....

 

It started snowing in Vegas and the thickest fog I have ever seen rolled in to Oklahoma. My flight was canceled and I am back at the house. I will be catching a flight tomorrow afternoon and will be in Vegas in plenty of time for the radio show and any other type of mayhem that might ensue. It is always interesting when I get around people from other parts of the country for long periods of time. I dont beat around the bush and when I ask some people if they are out of their f***ing mind, they look shocked even though it was begging to be asked.

 

Oh well, the contest has been great and I will have the best overall record no matter what happens this week. Who are we kidding, I am going to go and do what I have done all football season and go 5-2 or better and bring back the 80k to the Oklahoma economy! Who wants dinner? I'm buying!!

BACK FROM VEGAS / HEADING TO VEGAS IN THE FINALS

    Well, I got back from Vegas on Saturday evening. I was there competing in the semi finals of the Leroys Invitational Sports Handicapping contest. I went up against a guy named Fezzic. Although, I wasn't aware of this at the time, he is apparently a big deal in the sports gambling community. If I have been guilty of one thing over the last few years, it is that I live a very polarized life here in Oklahoma. I have lots of clients from around the country but I have never reached out to the other sports gamblers in the country. I know A LOT  more pro poker players than I do sports gamblers and I am not near as good at poker as I am at picking football and hoops winners. One of the great things about this contest is I have had the chance to meet some of the guys that have been winning at betting on sports for a long time. Fezzic is one of these guys. I had another good week in the contest and am moving on to the finals. The finals are next Friday night and I frankly expect to do what I have done most weekends this season and go 5-2 or better with my selections and see if that is good enough to win. To this point it has been plenty good enough. My clients are having a great year and December is always a good month.In the finals, I am meeting another long time gambler with a good reputation of picking winners named the Shrink. He use to own www.theperscription.com and now owns www.eog.com . He is well respected and I have heard is a nice guy, it ought to be another good weekend in Vegas. I am going to go see Chris Angel Mind Freak on Sunday and probably go to the Las Vegas Bowl on Saturday.  Chris Angel freaks my freak and I am going to try and see if he will join me on my new baseball package. I figure if there is anyone that can predict the winners of the baseball games it is Chris Angel. I have the football and hoops selections covered.  

 

If you want to give a great Christmas gift to a gambler, try my bowl package. Only 349.00 and WE ARE GOING TO WIN $$$

 

I will be heading to Florida from Vegas to meet my people, I will check in from there.
