Vegas Numbers will return before the start of football season. My audio equiptment needs a tune up so this is going to be a more traditional blog in the mean time.

Sunday was a tough day to say the least. Struggling through an 0-2-1 day just isn’t my style and it’s the latest reminder that my gambling days are numbered. As great as my record has been, losing days sting more than ever now that I sell my picks.

I bet all my releases in Vegas sportsbooks and the loss out of wallet hurts but the agony is now compounded with others on my action. It’s amazing how the winning days come and go but the losing days devastate me to the point of struggling to eat or sleep. It’s a great life but this is no way to live if I want to be an old man someday.

I choose this lifestyle and have been through plenty of ups and downs in my career but I simply can’t handle losing anymore. I put so much of my time and energy into this that I even get frustrated with this nonsense when the results come in as expected but the losing is completely intolerable.

Don’t get me wrong, I not going anywhere imminently. The bankroll is as healthy as ever and it’s only about 100 days until college basketball season. You can find me in the books all over town for at least the next eight months. I’m still finding winners but I’m starting to enjoy it less and I know I can’t produce at this level for too much longer.

I realize that I’m ignoring other interests and the world is changing at an alarming rate. Earning a living betting sports is enjoyable and rewarding but it takes up just about all of my time and energy. Finding pointspread advantages is an academic exercize which is the rare combination of fun and profitable. I will never regret my years in Vegas but the time is coming for my mind to focus on other endeavors.

With that said, my podcast “Vegas Numbers” and blog “My Final Season” can be found here on a consistent basis.

Take Care,
