I CAN LEAD SOME TO WATER....

 There are some things that I have admitted that I will never understand. How a satellite works, would be one. I understand that a "signal" is sent into outer space ect. I just know that when  Mr. Satellite or whoever invented that process,is thinking on a different level than I am. I guess we all have our strengths. 

One thing I may never understand is the way some gamblers think.If you ask most gamblers, they would tell you that they gamble 70% for fun and 30% to win money. If they are honest, those #s are more like 80-20. The point is that realistic gamblers that walk into a casino understand it is HARD to win money.

That is why when I prove to my clients that I can help them make money I am confused by their hesitation to sign up.

Here is what I mean...

This season I decided to offer a MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL only package. You get the entire season of MNF selections for only $99.00!!That is a great deal. Last season I went 18-3 on Monday nights. I thought this would be a great way to allow a guy that didn't think he could afford to sign up to get some selections to win at least on Mondays. Most people that will lose all week on their own but because they are getting my winning selections on Monday nights will see they cant afford not to sign up and get the rest of the selections.  This package was very popular and about 200 clients took advantage of this great Monday night deal.

Well, even after a 15-4 start this season on Monday nights, I still have some of these guys that haven't signed up for a monthly or season package. I don't understand this behavior!  I suppose there are a few guys that only bet on Monday nights. If that is the case, I understand. For most I suspect their week goes something like this...

They lose $55.00 on Thursday.  Maybe they win $50.00 on Fridays.  Some Saturdays they win and lose on Sunday or maybe the other way around.  By Monday morning on most weeks these guys are down somewhere between $50.00 and $300.00 bucks.

Then, the Fat Jack Monday night selection swoops in like Superman to save the day. With a 15-4 record you can see that MOST weeks we win and some weeks we go 2-0 on Mondays.

 Now this is where I get confused. If it was me I would see that after being thirsty for a winning week since Thursday, it took the fat Jacks Monday night package to finally give me water! I would say " boy I sure would like to drink the winning selections ALL WEEK LONG!!"  " maybe I should call 1-800-298-1383 or go to www.thefatjack.com and sign up for a ALL YOU CAN DRINK BUFFET for less than $7.00/selection."

I guess if everyone won money betting on games than there wouldn't be anyone to take the bets but I do wish those guys that were smart enough to sign up for that MNF deal would decide winning is better than losing and sign up for the bowl package before I have a bad run on Mondays and they die of thirst.

BTW, we won again last Monday AND are 1-0 in hoops this week. Sign up and get water logged by Christmas.
