Yep, takes discipline I was actually pretty good with the "Lottery" for a while. But like this stock market, it got boring. Have I got stories? My favorite "scheme" was taking advantage of the differences on college basketball lines in Chicago vs. New York. I'll never forget once when in one particular game a team was favored by 2 with Chicago "linesmakers," but it was fovored by 11 with New York "linesmakers." The game involved an eastern team vs. a midwestern team. I took the favorite with the Chicago boys and the "dog" with the New York boys. The favorite won by 8. It was a beautiful thing. I did that manuever countless times. College basketball lines are much more prone to regional defferences than those of the "National Football Lottery." Wishing I'd jointed the Naz's "bull run" of the late 1990's, /john
