(Monday Night October 3rd, 2022)
Hi Gary Greene fans and BetVegas.TV followers,
Well after a torrid start to the 2022 Football Season with our paid “GAMEDAY PICKS CLUB” selections…we had a rare overall losing week as we simply had a rough Saturday in College Football (1-5). Kinda eerie that was the first day of October too, so off a gigantic month of September….October didn’t get the memo and in end the overall week (Thursday Sept. 29 – Monday Oct. 3rd) we suffered a (6-7) week and a loss of (-2.8 Units). It’s never fun to lose but no severe damage and counting these first few October days (to complete the full week) we ended with a gigantic (+17.50 Units) for the first month and basically the first quarter of this 2022-Combined Football Season. We definitely have learned a ton and now feel good about the coming months ahead.
We don’t always have “Gameday Picks” on the Thursday, Friday and Monday games but with CFB giving us usually 5 Friday night games, securing a solid pick that night has been easier than in past years with just one game on that night’s docket. Luckily my favorite two NFL picks this week were the Thursday and Monday Night games (we hit both) as that helped cut the losing deficit a full 2 units.
Let’s start with CFB as we actually loved our UCLA Bruins (my fav team) as well as the “OVER” between UCLA/Washington and decided the “OVER” was the better play and the outcome was a nice winner and UCLA winning was icing on the cake to start the CFB week off. Saturday though nothing went our way as our “Best Bet” Arkansas (+17) clawed back to just 5 points (moronic going for 2 so early) only to allow 3 runs of 70+ yards for TD’s to give back what looked like a solid comeback winner. That burst our bubble as only Mississippi State (-4) would cash a ticket on Saturday. A horrible first half in Ga. Southern/Coastal (7-7 at half) proved costly as the second half was as expected – a scorefest. LSU never dominated as expected vs. a bad Auburn team, Western Kentucky went back and forth and at times looked like a possible winner, only to play poorly in the end and lose straight up (-5 1/2). Wake/Fla State-Over played at a nice pace but horrible Coaching calls inside the 5 over and over made the final outcome look like a really bad pick (it wasn’t). CFB overall (2-5) week!
In the NFL, where we have dominated…the bad luck carried over as we lost our early game with Cleve/Atlanta-Over 47 1/2 thanks to again just moronic Head Coaching/Playcalling by Browns HC/OC Stefanski. On first and goal at one inch line….he passes…with stud RB Chubb in backfield…then he loses two yards on 3rd down but still decides to go for the TD, giving up a sure FG. No TD and no points. (IDIOT)! Then on the final drive all we needed was a Browns FG to tie game at 23-23 and unless OT goes scoreless, we get the win. Bad QB decision in FG range by QB Brissett….getting sacked and knocked out of FG range….and then INT to seal our fate. The Raiders went wire to wire to cash and then our 6 point teaser (forced due to monsoon rain in our 3 top games Sunday) won with Eagles/Cards cashing. Our late pick of Tampa Bay was sealed it seems fumbling the opening kickoff. Ouch! We closed week thankfully with Rams/SF-Under 42, a relatively easy winner (well easy for an Under pick). NFL rebounded nicely of first losing week last week (Week 3) since mid 2020 season with (4-2) week overall.
For those on board who only bought our $99 Special….no need to buy this week again as this week as you will get this weeks picks again without needing to repurchase them. Each week due to my many Radio Show guest spots we will grab at least a dozen new clients on board for their first week. It will forever sting having a season where we are up really big yet someone is tasting losing money on a bad week of picks by me. I can’t say this week I will work harder as that would be a flat out LIE. I work 18 hour days already and will hopefully get back on track with a huge week in both CFB (Week 6) and NFL (Week 5) this new week coming up.
I hope everyone has a great new week ahead, stay Safe, may all your Wagers be Winning ones, and anyone who purchases this week’s game or the October full month Special, you will also receive all my MLB Playoff Picks as well. We have really did well in the MLB Playoffs over the years and hope to this season again. Also being a Phillies season ticket holder for 40 years, finally my boyz are back in the Playoffs. It’s nice to get in but the new MLB rules of playing all the 3 games (if 3 are needed) on the Road will be a tough go of it for the Philles (likely at St Louis). But the last time one of my two favorite MLB teams (other KC Royals) made the Playoffs….well the final result: WORLD CHAMPS! You gotta make the dance to win the dance. Let’s dance to the Series Harper and Company.
