Yesterday: Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Subject in School?On 6/21/2006 I made the VERY first post EVER at Pregame.com. Before Pregame, I had my own site where many of the users came from which means some of the community actually pre-dates 2006! That being said, being a community we should all get to know each other a little better. Each day I will post something asking a general question. It will never get too personal and no one is obligated to answer. But after 5+ years of us babbling back and forth, why not take the next step in this relationship :)I will start off:From an industry friend that ran the most successful picks by email platform in the industry (FreePicksbyEmail.com). He had this domain called pregame.com and wanted to build a sports gambling portal that would be "different". I owned a site (LetItRideSports.com) that had a great installed base and very loyal community. The two merged and became Pregame.com.Past Getting to Know Pregame (PLEASE feel free to respond to any that you may have missed by clicking below):Getting to Know Pregame: What movies have you seen recently?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Sports Video Game of All-TimeGetting to Know Pregame: Favorite Comedian of All-Time?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Current Cable TV Show?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Current Cable TV Show?Getting to Know Pregame: Remember the first girl you kissed?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Childhood Memory?Getting to Know Pregame: Worst Vacation EVER?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite food as a child?Getting to Know Pregame: How did you spend the 4th of July?Getting to Know Pregame: What’s your favorite outdoor activity?Getting to Know Pregame: The saddest moment in your life?Getting to Know Pregame: What Did You Spend Your High School Graduation Money On?Getting to Know Pregame: What do you miss most about being a kid?Getting to Know Pregame: Do You Have Any Pets?Getting to Know Pregame: What Countries Have You Visited?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Toy as a ChildGetting to Know Pregame: Favorite Fast Food "Food"?Getting to Know Pregame: Your Favorite Sport to Bet?Getting to Know Pregame: Top 5 most played songs on your iPod/iPhone/etc?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Shot at the Bar?Getting to Know Pregame: hat Was Your First Car?Getting to Know Pregame: Favorite Memory with Your DadGetting to Know Pregame: Favorite Vacation Spot?Getting to Know Pregame: Married, Single or Both?Getting to Know Pregame: Do You Have Any Kids?

I saw one of Marcos videos at Betus.com in their video pick section a couple years ago......and guess what....they havent had ANY videos since....i used to love to watch "The Drunken Handicapper" for NFL. If you check...marco and tulley was their last video.
When they backed off from the US market they dumped 99% of their marketing department. My contacts there were all let go and projects like that were left for dead. Tony George opened the door and my girl set the rest up. Good to hear people watched!
How I found pregame was........in Dec 2011, my brother told me about some gambling/linesmaker show that had been on TV, so im searching youtube looking for it, in the videos on the side, I see a bald guy with a big M on his shirt, I thought I would see what he had to say......... ended up watching pregame videos(meet the pros and story videos) on youtube for hours that day,, didnt take long for me to know that these guys are legit and know what their doing. Been hooked on pregame ever since,,, tons of info, tools and a sharp community. Feel like im at home with my gambling Brothers.
Yea i remember seeing Tony on there a lot too.
See RJ and Marco on YouTube

Off subject but i liked his energy. Hahaha
PREGAME FOUND ME, I DID NOT FIND THEM!
I knew RJ from Free Picks By Email way back in the day, the early stages of the Internet, and we had worked together on a few projects regarding that. Once I left the clowns over at Covers, he called me and asked me to meet in Vegas to share an idea and opportunity..... I met him at Hooters Casino when this site was just a vision and he laid it out to me. Many beers later and a few dozen wings we agreed to follow up and soon I was asked to come on board.
I knew of and met Johnny Detroit in Vegas but before Pregame..I know one thing for sure about JD....a true stand up guy all the way around.....Everything RJ told me has come to fruition and then some!!
A feather in my cap to be here and know and work with Randy and JD, Marco and VR as well as many friends I have had over the years in the business that are here including Bryan Leonard..one of the best guys in the business!
And here we are today.....the envy of every capping site on the planet..as well as any sports gaming information site out there.

Was with Let It Ride Sports back in the day and simply transitioned over. Was a pro at another site and was recruited by RJ to join the ranks as a pro here. That was around four years ago now. Time does indeed fly.
