Time to cash in on college football’s MONEYMAKERS … or cool them off
November 14th, 2012
The law of averages suggest that nothing lasts forever and all good things must come to an end. Well, we’re about to find out, as this week I’m putting my hot streak (9-2 the last two weeks) in the hands of several of these spread-covering machines—in other words, you’re about to see a real-life cooler in action!

Daily Bet: Romney +330 vs. Obama
November 6th, 2012

Daily Bet: Clippers -1 at Lakers
November 2nd, 2012
I told you. I told you the Chiefs wouldn’t have six turnovers again versus the Chargers! K.C. coughed it up only four times last night. Too bad that’s the only prediction from that debacle that I got right. Read more »
