One moment in the books for today brought back a fun personal memory. It was on this date back in 1978 defeated Leon Spinks in a rematch to claim his 3rd heavyweight boxing title. No, it won't be remembered as a classic bout but it sparked a memory regarding my late brother Lee. My brother worked on the railroad after getting out of the service and worked the St Louis area. My brother was one of the best pool players I ever saw. He was telling me about playing in some pool hall in the St Louis area one night when Spinks came in with his entourage. They ended up playing one another. Spinks had recently won the crown and was at the zenith of his career. He had a lot of money and friends and life was good. He also liked to gamble on pool and was nowhere near the pool player as he was a boxer. Lee ended up the night with a healthy payday thanks to Leon's stubborn pride. Anyway, it brings back a good memory.
Okay, a free winner. Tonight I am suggesting a small wager on the Royals and White Sox to play under the total of 7. James Shields needs a big effort tonight much like his last time out in Detroit. The Royals are scrapping to stay in contention for the division as the Tigers predictably make their surge. KC is scuffling to score now and the under seems like the play here to me guys.
On the business side it was a great saturday and then we gave some back sunday. Here is a report card on the football season to date. No spin jobs or bs, just the numbers to date. In college football my clients and I are at 17-8, + 13 units overall. We are a perfect 3-0 in our Triple Star plays. In the NFL the mark stands at 7-5, +2.3 units. We've split the Triples so far in pro ball at one apiece. We're off to a solid start in football guys. Sad fact is some folks expectations are far from realistic. Some folks who are new to sports betting believe a pro capper should hit practically every game they market. They are setting themselves up for a world of disapointment. Happens every season, unrealistic ideas of what success truly is. They simply don't understand. Anyway, what a game in San Francisco last night as they Bears went in and knocked off the Niners. I thought that game was tricky and in the end I personally passed on it. I simply refuse to put out a package on every prime time game. But, tonight I am stepping back in and in a big way. I do have a Triple star in tonight's game between the Eagles and Colts.
Okay, that is it for now. Good luck today guys and best of luck with your action!
