My Favorite Sportsbook Guru ...
Is a 'guru' that makes me money; pure and simple.
And, like hen's teeth and elephant's eyebrows, a good
Sportsbook Guru is hard to find.
I frankly don't know squat about the horses or which
college team - baseball, football or basketball is at
the top of the heap or which professional team is at
their league's number one position.
It's heresy (and certainly not going to get me a big
piece of Mom's favorite apple pie and ice cream to be
admitting all this) but I really don't know much about
the sports businesss.
But there it is; the bottom line - it is a business -
so I confine my interest to which team(s) my favorite
Sportsbook Guru picks for me. And if the team wins -
which lucky for me is over 90% of the time, they are
my favorite team ... for the moment 'cause I put money
on them and won. And that's MY bottom line.
I'm not totally dispassionate about the sports business,
mind you. Although I won't necessairly go out of my way
to watch a playoff or series, if I do happen to catch a
game in progress I will enjoy watching. But I'm not in
front of the TV screen several minutes before game time
with a beer in one hand and hot dog in the other hollaring
'woof' 'woof' or whatever it is I see people do in the
movies or on TV. I still get a kick out of Julia Roberts
doing it in one of her movies, but it's not for me.
I know it's hum-drum or bah humbug of me not to get really
into the 'game' but look at the conflict of interest I am
avoiding. Like. what would happen if my Favorite Sportsbook
Guru suggested I put my money on Oakland but my heart said to
root for San Francisco. Either way I'd lose.
If Oakland won I'd be down in the dumps because my favorite
team, San Francisco lost, and if San Francisco won and my
Favorite Sportsbook guru suggested Oakland and I did not
take him up on that one I'd still be miserable because I
missed out on a money making wager! So forget it!
I think I'll stay Bah Humbug and make money following the
advice of my Favorite Sportsbook guru, who, by the way I
will share with you if you email me: qapple@excite.com.
Just do me one favor will you ... don't tell him about my
confilct of sports interest here; he might tell my shrink!
