I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. But now that you know, I would like for you to tell all of your friends it is for real. Because I want everyone to back-off!

I now feel and have felt for many years that unless I take on certain crimes in America they will never stop. And even if I take them on they may still never stop. There is just to much money in crime in the USA. Try and understand that I don't care about you. That does not mean I do not care about peole. I really do. But I do not care what people think about my attack on criminals in this country. If you do not like my methods of reprisal then you can just go fuck yourself. Because I plan to turn the heat up based on current activities in sports that I feel are crimes of treason in America.

For many years I have called for a boycott of products promoted in commercials by professional athletes. I feel this is the way these athletes are being paid off to rig the games in football and basketball here in this nation. This way they are getting money legally. They can then pay their taxes and go on in life as a very rich athlete. But to get the commercials in the first place they have to rig the games they are now playing every season. A good example is the fact that the loser of the last ten Superbowls in pro football have been the guys in the media ads. Not the winner.

There is something about the holiday season that brings out the best in me. Because I am an American I plan to continue to express my opinion on life here in this country. And if you do not like my views. Then simply do not come to this web site and read them. Because no one invited you here in the first place.

There is a problem here in America that I fell the people of this great nation cannot see clearly. It is called culture. We have a problem with culture because it almost does not even exist here. At least not as it exists in other nations around the world.

As I see it American is the youngest nation on Earth. And we are the youngest culture on Earth. Our culture could be said to exist somewhere around 400 years if we stretch it all the way back to the first colonies ever established here. But as an American culture we are less than 250 years old. Other cultures of the world are 2,500 years old or more. And China has a recorded history that goes back 9,000 years.

As a result of being a younger culture in this world, I feel we also are the least mature culture. The least mature people on Earth. We really are not in the same league with other cultures in many areas of life which includes personal conduct. I believe we are lacking in maturity and culture in our own lives. And then as a nation as a whole. And I believe we have a cultural problem that causes us to be less of a human being, less or a moral person, less of an honest person, less of a religious person and less of an educated race of persons.

I would not go so far to say that we are anti-culture even though pockets of regional societies do seem to be that way in the USA like Las Vegas, NV. and so on. But we do have a 15% population that is de-cultured. And actually are living there own seperate culture inside the culture of the United States. We simply are not as good as living life as other older cultures around the world. Because they have lived life longer than we have. They know the difference in life from living for centuries on Earth before us.

And it really is not all of our fault. Life started at one place on Earth and then spread as quickly as it could throughout all of the continents on this planet. Our continent just happend to be last on the evolution list of mankind on this planet as to where we live, grow and die..And the United States' culture is actually a blend of every other culture on Earth as people immigrated to the USA from all over the world in the last 250 years also. The only real Americans and real American culture is that of the indians who were the real founding fathers of this continent.

I think because of the way this nation was formed and grew up we have an idenity problem over culture in the first place. If you ask any American just what his heritage is? He will answer something along these lines. Oh, I am German and French. Or I am Polish because my grandparents that came over here in 1900 were from Poland. Or I am Irishor English. Or My family came from Russia someone will say. These people and all of the people in this country will tell you that they are everything except American.

No one in America will admit to being an American. And yet, the entire world calls us Americans. And then we move on to the people who will say they are African American or Mexican American. These people having ancestors who originally came here from Africa or Mexico. Well I want to tell you and everyone else in this country that I am an American. Me and you and everyone else living in the USA are nothing more than Americans. Americans with a diverse ethnic background. But an American none-the-less.

An American with a maturity problem because life has not gone on here as long as it has for other races on Earth. A maturity problem that has spilled over into a cultural problem. Which I believe has cost us dramatically here in the nation as to the way we live and conduct our own lives as a person and as a people.

What is the solution? Peace is one. I think religion is another and education is also our way out. And not just education as it exists in schools where people go to learn. Education about culture and its meaning for a better life for human beings. Education about moral vales and personal conduct for everyone living here in America. Education about knowing the difference between freeedoms and real crimes committed here also. Making a quest to realign ourselves in our own lives first and then going on to the better qualities and values needed as a race of people to have a better American culture in the first place.

Not only can I write critical statements about life in the USA. I can also be critical of my own writing. I get so passionate in my quest to thwart illegal activities that sometimes I cannot see the whole picture correctly. Or fail to make a point in my writing for both sides of the story.

I need to make the statement that is positive about our troops being overseas. First of all, we have taken the war to the enemies country. We are fighting them on their soil not ours. And they provocked us into this war in the first place.

Second, I have been lead to believe through our own media that our troops have either or will soon completely stop the production of the drug heroin in Afghanistan. This is one of the biggest humanitarian quests of all time in my opinion.

But my complaint is centered on the fact that we have lost the fight at home. The number society Us Occult is a great example. How many millions of witches are out there everyday working for the mafia?

We need new ideas in America on how to deal with so many new problems we are faced with today. We have problems with taxes, jobs, education, natural resources, politics, law enforcement, immigraton, drugs, race, religion and the rising costs of food and gasoline. And many more to numerous to mention.

I feel we have an urgent need to take on the problems of immigration, drugs and the social security and welfare system. How about all of us in America try to figure out what needs to be done and then put these new ideas into the hands of politicians that can and will affect a change in these areas of life for us..

One idea I had about welfare is that to get on and stay on you must agree to get your GED High School diploma while you are receiving assistance from the government. Use education to get a better job and so on. From there we could go onto a more specilize training for specific jobs.

On immigration I feel we should charge a fee to everyone who crosses any border in either direction to and from this country. Like say $10.00 at the border for simply crossing it. And then use that money to clean up the problem there.

One Politics I feel the term limits are to long. How about we have elections every two years for the congress, senate and presidency. Who said four and six years has anything to do with anything. We need the ability to change up inept politicians on a faster basis.

On the issue of drugs. Either we take steps to get the money out of criminal hands. Or we simply increase the size of the United States from 50 states to 55 states by annexing the country of Mexico into America. Here we can eliminate the border problem all together. And the immigration problem and the drug problem all in one act.

On the issue of taxes I would like to see a law that states you cannot spend American tax dollars on anyone but Americans. Let charities and public contributions take care of the world's problems. And if we are going to give surplus food away, then let us give away all the food we can to our own people in need.

On the issue of jobs. We need a law that requires American Corporations traded on the stock markets of this nation to be required to have a certain percentage of their products and jobs be based in this country also. And a high percentage also. Americans can and will pay more for goods when they have jobs and wages to afford those purchases.

On the issue of gasoline prices. I feel there should be a law that you or a company can only own what is above the ground. Anything under the ground is owned by the government and the people of that nation.

Can it be done? Human beings are capable of doing anything?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I say today that since we, as Americans, cannot stop the cheating in professional gambling, it is now time to bring the troops home. The war is over. And we have lost the fight in this nation to crime. A system of government , freedom, democracy and free enterprise that made this nation great for almost 250 years has failed us in modern times. We have a nation of leaders in government and American Industry that just do not care about the people of this country. Or either they just are not smart enough or big enough to realize we have been outplayed in life by China, Opec and the mafia. And only God knows just who else.

It has become normal business in our country to cheat at gambling. It has become normal practise here to move jobs overseas to other countries to make greater profits for companies, that who have their initial beginnings here in a free enterprise system, but they now consider those companies to be global merchants dealing with the entire world and not just the United States anymore.  As if we are just a residence to register these companies here where freedom and free enterprise exists while other nations are actually employed now instead of Americans doing American jobs creating American products.

It has become normal business to let lobbyists give money to elected officials in America as campaign donations. It has become a normal practise to have every elected President of the United States be influenced by lobbyists on political matters here at home. It has become normal practise for Americans to do whatever they damn well please. And the results of all of these criminal acts can be summed up by saying that from now on I am looking out for number one.

And now in modern times of war, we have 5000 servicemen and woman killed overseas in the last 15 years. And during that time we have made media heros of people, in my opinion, who are nothing more than fronts for mafia murderers and criminal corporate businessmen. And for the sake of the almighty American dollar. While we teeter on the brink of bankruptcy and the failing of social security, our politicians go out and rig a national Health Care sytem against us for the big health insurance lobbyists in Washington, D.C. And all in the name of free commerce. And the American way. Of which a great number of them have now been unelected by the new rising and powerful political Tea Party in America.

The America as we knew it in the 1900's does not even exist anymore. There are no more serious labor unions here anymore. There are no more pension funds here any more that are not in trouble of collapsing completely. Most of the big ones have already been raided by companies that are from other nations on Earth. Nations and businessmen  who not only do not live by the same freedoms we enjoy. But they do not care about us either.

The American dream is gone. There are no more mom and pop small enterprises with the potential for becoming national and world global companies any more. Everything in American business is already figured out. All the food products have been invented and established in our grocery stores. Rising food prices are alarming as competition  amoung producers of produce deminishes here. It is all corporate. All about national competition, pricing, placing and the bottom line. It is all about the stock market. A stock market, that in modern times, has failed the 401k pension plans for millions of Americans because of greed and corruption there also in the unending pursuit of profit. .

Our own system of business and government has failed us in modern times. Our own constitution of the United States has failed us also. We are now in an era of life that the founding fathers of this great nation could not and did not foresee when they established America in the first place. And just when did war become so blase that we can view the daily results on national television just like being armchair quarterbacks to the killing  and massacre of human beings occurring overseas now. And we just sit there watching all of this being so callous in our regard for our own military, that one wonders when the official end to all of these conflicts will ever happen.

I have a saying that life will never be the way you want it to be. The utopia we all seek in life just is not there in modern times for Americans. We either agree and go along with the corruption. Or we become modern day activists and try to find a solution. One solution I see for now is that we bring the troops home. There are no more American ideals, in my opinion, that are worth dying for any more. And another reason why the U.S. government needs to brings the troops home.

Because all roads lead to Rome.

Every year the pro football teams do the same thing. They lose one or two weeks on purpose before the holiday games. This way you, the American sports bettor,  will not have as much money as you should have to bet on the games on Thanksgiving. When the entire country has only three games to bet on, the bookmakers, most likely, will lose that day. So they get the betting favorites to lose the weeks leading up to the Holiday so they can minimize the amount of money bet on those games. And thus lose less on the biggest losing day for bookmakers in the history of sports betting.

Another point I want to make is that I cannot understand why all the coaches for the teams that harbor the biggest "point-shaver" in history are being fired. Surely, after all of these years, you can clearly see "Stabler" rigging the games against the point-spread. And yet, it is the coaches being fired. And not the mafia quarterback that is losing on purpose?

I put the data files onto www.linemaker.com today for Pro Basketball. So far only the overall ratings are ready. This year I will not keep any records of the win/loss record for Pro Basketball. You will have to rely on the software and your own work to keep a more accurate win/loss record than the software provides.

Now that you can clearly see that I can hear you, I want to make a few more comments on this matter of interferrence in my private life by this occult sect.

First of all, the reason why these people allude to the fact you are working for the government (govenor), when they recruit you is becuase if you knew it was the mafia you would not join. Ask them which govenor you are now working for and they will not tell you. They can't because no ones works for any govenor in this country in a secret number society.

Second, ask yourself why is everything about these number people so secretive? Why not publish information about it? What is the big secret. If it is the government then all info about it is public domain just like all the other government info in this country.

Third, is the fact that we elect officials to run this country. We do not appoint individuals to positions of power with a number. Only the mafia does that.

And fourth, is this fact. Not once in 31 years of taking on the mafia behind the scenes in America have I ever be subjected to violence or threats. Because the mafia knows it is for real because I am quoting them all of the time through the supernatural. And they have a hands off policy on me for all of their members.

But some witch somewhere can and does always try to manipulate my circumstances. Most likely it is because these number people are brain washed by this movement. Most likely they were started by their parents. And they have been good members all of their lives.

I do not see the Us Occult doing anything positive for their own communities. No charity work, no combined community effort. Nothing to benefit mankind. The only thing you do is beat people up in mass. And I say this: If you use a chain of command to order people to do mean things to people who are being harrassed by the US Occult. Then you are practising withcraft. Period.

Which Governor do you work for now witch? Or which is the Governor you work for now witches?

How many people know today that I am the only "unofficial winner" of the Castaway's Football Contest held in Las Vegas, Nevada during the 1980's. In 1982, the NFL Players went on strike. So the league locked them out. And then the league recruited any player they could find who could play football and they went on to have a half season of play that year without the regular NFL players before the strike was settled.

When the NFL players went on strike the original Castaways Contest, held at the then Castaways Hotel and Casino, where the Mirage Hotel and Casino is now, cancelled the contest. It was a $1,000.00 entry. And everyone got their money back. But I was in the free "media" contest that was running next to the biggy contest, so to speak. That is to say,  88 writers and journalists in Las Vegas, NV. were invited into a free contest with a $1,000.00 first place prize for the writer who got the most NFL picks correct that season.

Going into the last week of the season I was about ten places out of  first place. But I had been working on a theory about making my selections on the contest each week using only the "defensive rating" to make my plays. This was based on my research after the year the "A Play" won the contest. I was able to figure out in "hind sight" that if I used only my defensive rating to make the plays, I would have won the contest that year, instead of the "A Play". And we all know how famous those two handicappers were who went on to fame and fortune on T.V., the newspaper industry and the big sports services in America.

So on the last week of the contest I made all of my 14  plays using only the defensive rating. I had every underdog on the schedule. That week I went 13-1 I think.
and I won the contest that year by one pick. I beat, Chuck Dirocco, owner of the Sports Form tabloid in Las Vegas by one play. I got the $1,000.00 check and a job with the Sports Form after I again beat Chuck again a week later in a $2,500.00 first place "media" poker tournament held to promote the first ever Stardust Poker Tournament in Las Vegas. The Stardust Poker Tournament opened up the poker tournaments to the Las Vegas scene. First there was the World Series of Poker hosted by the Binion's Hotel and Casino from 1970 on. And then in 1979 came along the Amarillo Slim Poker Classic in Reno Nevada, hosted by the Sahara Hotel and Casino.

And then Blackie Blackburn, local card room manager at the Stardust Casino, started the third national poker tournament. After that 15 tournaments sprang up in Las Vegas and California in the next few years. When Blackie announced his tournament to the media in Las Vegas, I was working for the Sports Book Tabloid in Las Vegas. Owned by Ralph Petillo, we were a free tabloid giving away 50,000 issues a week in the Las Vegas casinos funded by casino advertising. In one hour that tabloid was sold out on a Friday evening because of a major article I wrote called " The Triple Crown of Poker". And the entire poker tounament scene, as we know it today, in America is a direct result of Blackies inovative move to get in on the national poker tournament scene and be the number three big poker tournament in America as we knew it then. Also I should point out that another reason the tabloid moved so fast in those days was because of the other experts on the staff like Mike Lee and so on.

One thing I learned from the football players strike that year in 1982, was that the players you now see playing in the NFL every Sunday during pro-football season really are the best professional football players available in the USA. These players arer not playing on the teams in the NFL because their father owns the team. They are the best of the best football players in this country every year we have a new season of pro-football.

In 1982 the games all looked like college games until the strike was settled. That is when I realized the players in the NFL are the best football players in the nation.  But inside the league there are also many different levels of players. There are big players and their are small players of the best available players in the NFL. So, some teams  in recent history seem to have all of the small players of the best players available. While other winning teams all seem to have the big players of the best players available. This is why I believe some teams win all of the time and some teams lose all of the time. It is a question of overall size and strength. A question of "true strength" of the teams now playing in the NFL.

In the day, when I won the contest, I would start out a season like this. I would have winning weeks with a win/loss record of : 9-5, 8-6, 10-4, 12-2, 7-7, 10-4 and so on. Not like the totally controlled season with my weekly win/loss record as you see it now this season.

10/20/10

This is something I have known about team owners in the NFL and NBA for at least a decade. But first let me say this. Not every team owner is point shaving. But my position on this is if you do not cheat the games yourself, your staff will cheat the games for you.

When a certain team owner makes a deal to rig a game he has to tell his staff. Who on the staff? Whoever it takes. Every owner says the same thing: "I want you to slow the game down this week". This is the phrase they use instead of saying simply,"point shave the game through so and so and lose on purpose this week". As a human you will know that it is hard to talk about dirty business frankly and openly. You need words that sound easier to digest when you are involved in fowl and filthy endeavors.

The Nazis in Germany during WWII did the same thing. Instead of saying to the chain of command in the military let's go out and murder 100,000 Jews this month. They used the term, "It is the Final Solution". Say that six million times in one war!

America mafia criminals are the same as the Nazis. They are muderers. I remember when the outgoing Don of the Chicago mafia was quoted to me to the new incoming Don just after Tony Spilottro was killed by them. He said, "Who are you going to get now to do your death work?". Imagine that, the mafia does death work. Try and sell that to the church on Sunday.

So the NFL is still slowing the games down. They are trying to be careful about it. But you can clearly see that one team for sure and maybe two for sure are not covering the point spread this season. Is it on purpose? It is if I can hear you tell your team to slow the game down.

I believe it is my right to publish anything I want to in America. As long as you tell the truth there is no libel. You get your feelings hurt and your reputation ruined. But it is not libel as long as I get the facts right. It is my constitutional right in the USA. But the mafia does not follow the constitution. They have their own by-laws enacted by the Us occult. And millions of witches in America subscribe to these illegal by-laws. These people go from the most incredible "nobodys" to a "numbered" somebody. Everyone wants to be more than what they are and the mafia knows this. So they make you an important number. So you can carry out their wishes all day long. And everybody is happy. And everybody gets richer at the expense of these criminals. It is the second fall of Rome basically.

Listen to this idea of mine about gambling. And I hope it makes betting on sports more obvious for what is really happening. Casino gambling and sports betting is not the same. The odds of winning a casino game are against the players. The odds of playing the game favors the house. And as a result the house wins all the time. Every crap table, every slot machine, every blackjack table, every roulette table and even keno game etc wins every 24 hour period in a casino.

But this is not rue of sports betting. A casino or bookmaker can and does lose taking bets on sports. The odds of winning do come into play on parlay cards. But the odds of winning on regular bets can be overcome by the btting public. Taking bets on sports is a huge cash business. One year alone Las Vegas was quoted as handling about 98 million just on the Superbowl that year.

The way it goes in the mafia is that the last year they had a losing year overall was in the football season of 1972. This was my first year as an illegal bookmaker in Ohio. And I was not in the mafia. I was an independent  bookie doing county business. At that time every small town in America let a local guy run the gambling there. This way they could keep the mafia out of their city. Because with the mafia comes a ton of crime and misery for every city in the country.And we lost that season on the parlay cards. We did not take straight bets because it was considered to be to volitale. The profit was not guaranteed. And if we lost on the parlay cards, then all the bookmakers in the nation also lost on the straight bets.

Before the next season started the word was passed along the underworld that steps had been taken to assure they would never lose at sports betting in this nation again. And as far as I know they never did lose again until 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. This because I published by systems for the first time during that period. Starting in 1984, Gary Austin and associates started fronting my line on the boards in Las vegas and across the nation. And then the mafia stepped up the point shaving also. Especially in pro basketball. And as a result of all of the point shaving they have never lost during an entire season since.

The mafia has two well known feelings about sports betting. All the money in the world is there for the taking. And why handle so much money everyday if you are not going to make a profit doing it.

When you think of James M. Gohlke, for whatever reason, I want you to think of me as a real apostle of God. I want people to think of me in only one way. That I am involved directly in the second coming of Christ. I want you to think about me everyday that I am in constant communication with the Holy Ghost as I live on Earth. And I want you to realize that if you interfer with my private life, in any way, you are barred from the kingdom of heaven. That is all.

One way to help stop the point shaving problem here in this country is by educating the public on this matter. Once anyone knows there is a chance that the games are rigged, then that person may never bet again. Or at least bet with the knowledge that all is not well in football land. This is what I am trying to do. So I will continue my little essays here to help make this problem more obvious and easier to see for the non-professional gambler and sports bettor.

First of all, let me say this, it took me 20 years as a professional handicapper to figure out the hoax. When I did find out in 1999, I was in shock. I could not believe it took me that long to figure it out. It never occured to me that the line was in on the cheating. I knew they were rigging some games during the 1970's. The Raiders are a good example. As pointed out in a program on game fixing by television documentary in 1984, Kenny Stabler was the first point shaving quarterback in the NFL. But I never understood what was going on until I realized the mistakes in the line I was calling on my web site at that time were actually mistakes being made on purpose. The line was then and is today being used to trick the betting public into playing a false favorite. And then the game is rigged so that a losing underdog team wins the game.

The mafia has been booking sports in America for about 100 years. It all started with betting on baseball. Proof of the problem can be scene in the baseball scandle of rigging the World Series of Baseball by the Black Sox back then and so on. In the 1940's, Meyer Lansky, a big mafia wise guy for 40 years in the 20's up to the 60's, figured out how to put a betting line on football and basketball games. Because gambling was illegal, except in Nevada since the 1930's, not one cared if a game or two was rigged. Gambling was illegal and if you bet anyway then you were just a sucker asking for trouble anyway.

So the mafia has owned the sports betting line for 100 years. When Nevada legalized gambling and then popularized sports betting all across the USA through Jimmy the Greek on CBS Television, I can assure you the mafia did not at that time turn the line over to the casinos. Instead they laundered their line through the casinos. Just as they do today. Only now everything is done off-shore and by computer.

The line is supposed to split the betting action right down the middle. And then the bookmaker makes a 5% profit because of the vig everyone has to lay to make the bet at 11 to 10. This has never happend. The modern sports bettor knows which are the better teams. And they bet accordingly. And then the bookmakers are always high on one side of the game. They have more money bet on one team than on the other. So now the bookmakers are actually gambling on the games now themselves. To make a profit they have to either "lay off" the overage they have handled on the game to another bookmaker, or they have to win the money when the public favorite loses the game.

This is what lead to game fixing. In the old days all the money bet on the games in the USA would be officially counted up by half-time of the games. Then the mafia would know which side of the games they were high on. And then they would simply make a phone call into the person on each team. And then rig the games in the second half. So they would win all of the time.

Today they just lower the line on the obvious favorites. Wait for the public to get suckered in, and then just rig the games and let the underdog win the game. I have heard people say in Las Vegas many times that the line was never supposed to get caught in the act. People would know that some games looked funny. But the line was always supposed to be above suspicion Until I came along.

One new law enacted in Las Vegas in the last decade proves my point. A betting activity taking place at local casinos owned by one of the pioneering gaming families was stopped by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Here their sportsbook would be $100,000.00 to $250,000.00 dollars high on one side of many games. The owner had an agreement with a local sorts bettor who would bet the other side of the game for the amount he was high. Then he could make a guaranteed profit off of the vig layed on the game. Here that sports bettor started winning every time. He got known for winning up to $250,000.00 on every game he bet. So, thankfully, the Nevada officials put a stop to this obvious hoax. So much for the line splitting the action.

And to futher make my point about the mafia on the sports betting line, it is impossible to find out just who really makes the line in America. No one in gaming will talk about it. And if you ask them at the casinos who makes the line? They will say that either they do not know, or they will say that they cannot reveal it to you. And the people selling the line for the mafia to anyone who wants to buy it will tell you that they have the franchise for the line in that area and the origination of the line is a secret.

Why is it a secret? Because if everyone knew the mafia makes the line no on would bet on sports anymore in America!

Publishing the best handicapping system for sports has not been completely negative. There are a lot of positive ideas that have come out in sports betting from the public use of it. One is when I started to put my system on computers. While it took me 14 years and $18,000.00 by using five different programmers. I eventually got it finished as you see it today.

The first programmer to work on it was in 1984. At that time I used a home court advantage and disadvantage  for basketball only. I could clearly see that many teams did not win at all at home so I invented the home court disadvantage to help handicap those games. Here this programmer did not know the difference. So he put a home field advantage and disadvantage on the football program without asking me. He thought they were both one and the same. I may have never done that on my own.

When I started teaching the program with Jack Painter at the CCC-College two more ideas came up from the students there. One was the use of the defensive rating to make the best bets. Here two guys in the class told me that they were able to predict winners by combining the predicted score, adjusted score and the defensive rating. And 30 years later that idea is still being used by me to make the best bets.

The second idea was that when I started the class several people instantly came up with the home/away ratings on their own. After I published it in Gambling Times a girl sports handicapper with her own sports service came up with the H/A ratings also. I doubt if I ever would have figured that idea out on my own also. Plus I now have Jack's side bets. They call them the joke bets. But the real joke is that they can and do win.

I feel that personally I made a mistake publishing this because I lost my advantage over the oddsmakers somewhat. But publicly I feel I did the right thing. This method works. And in the past before the controlled type of point shaving in pro sports today I had a major advantage. But at least now the public has a better than even chance to win. Or at least be able to see why they are not winning. I thought I would stop sports betting by publishing this. They would not be able to make a profit anymore and would have to give it up. But all I did was give them a system that they could use to make the line themselves and setup their own fronts on the line. That is why I was never asked to join the line. Because they were using the line to rig the games.

When I started in 1979 the oddsmaker worked at the Union Plaza Hotel. There were only a few casinos that booked sports at that time. The other hotels had illegal bookmakers hanging around the the tables that would take the bets from regular customers. They were called the "guy that has the book here". This oddsmaker just made the number up everyday off of the top of his head. His totals lines were off by as much as ten points. He would have the line on the wrong side most of the time. But the public did not know how to handicap so it did not matter where the line was until I came along.

It wasn't until the 1980's when sports betting became a big science. This is when the line moved to Gary Austin's sports book.He went to prison for embezzlement. The next oddsmaker was aslso another front for the mafia who wound up in every newspaper in America for a long time. He is now a male homosexual prostitute for the real men gays in SF.

But all the time, and as pointed out by a broadcast of a television documentary in 1984, the guy handling the line for the Chicago mob was a man named Tony Masterana?  From their the line shifted to another frontman who owned a sports book in Las Vegas. He started posting the opening line at the Stardust Hotel every Sunday at 6p.m. I remember one time they used my line at 6pm and the whole crowd their started booing them for using my line.This ushered in the era of the big sports book manager. These guys became little mini fronts on the line in each hotel. And then he put the line in every casino in the USA and they began selling the line to this country. And then he ushered in the era of lowering the line on purpose and then rigging the games against the point shaving lines. And for the most part it was my line. And it still is even though we play this cat and mouse game every week with the imposter lines and suspect games.

Then we went into the era of the big sports services that were selling the plays to the betting public. They started selling the line also to illegal bookmakers all across the country. They would buy the line from the mafia. And then shade the points on each game up or down a point or two and then start newspaper columns stating it was their line. Most of these really big sports services would then lose on purpose in their best bets they were selling to the public for the right to have a line franchise from the mafia at that time also.

Pro Basketball is here again. Of all of my systems this is the most powerful one. When I invented Linemaker Basketball in 1979, the newspapers at that time did not publish the basketball preseason results. This is why I use the first five games played in the regular season to make my power ratings. My policy is that why have a system if you do not follow it. So I am sticking to my method letter for letter and number for number.

But you can use the preseason. And you can use anything you want if you want to experiment a little with the input data. Also I use 220 points for the average score. I think that the year I invented this system that was the average score. But now the average score is lower. However, I like the idea of starting the ratings above the average score now. And then by adjusting the ratings they come "down" to the team's scoring potential eventually.

When I published this in Gambling Times in 1982 I knew I was publishing to much. And it never occured to me I would become the modern sports betting line in America. So ever since that mistake of giving it to both sides, I have tried to give it away to the sports betting public for free to try and counter my short sightedness on this matter at that time. My goal is to stop Americans from being made into suckers by the professional athletes of our era.

This is the first week of the Home/Away ratings. In the past few years these ratings have not measured up to my winning expectations. But they are useful in determining how well or how poorly a team is playing either at home or on the road.

To take the place of Team #1 and Team #2, I have put in a win/loss record for the Thursday Night and Late Sunday Night games. Also instead of predicting the winner of this season's Superbowl, I have put in a win/loss record againt the point spread for the winner of the Superbowl in the 2009-2010 season.

For the sports fans now using my Linemaker software for the first time, I would like to point out to you that this is just a number system. And pro football is just a game. This is not rocket science. This method has a lot of merit. But it is still just a bunch of numbers to use in figuring out who will win the games. The one big flaw it has is that the system assumes that both teams playing in a pro football game are really trying to win the game. If a team does not try to win the game. That is to say loses the game on purpose. Then this method will not win.

As you can plainly see I monitor myself on my web site. I try to keep an accurate record of my performance. If I win I record it. And if I lose I record it. The hardest thing to do is to record a losing week or losing season. But I feel an accurate record is important. Even if I am losing. Because with the losing record I can see what is winning and what is losing. And then I can try to avoid making the losing plays based on my record of winning and losing.

It is just as important for you to keep a record of how many bets or wagers you make on pro football that actually win or lose. This way if you are losing you can tell right away that you have a problem handicapping and betting on sports. And you can either try to fix the problem or stop betting on the games altogether for that season.

One thing that can happen to a sports bettor when he is losing is that he can go into a thing called "denial". You can actually trick yourself into denying that you are really losing. And losing a lot of money. It is our brain that does us in many times in life. And no one wants to admit they are a loser. So if you at least keep an accurate record you can know when it is time to stop betting on the games.

My opinion is that with all of the point shaving going on in pro football anyone that bets on the games is just fooling themselves if they think they are going to get the advantage over the sports betting line. While I have monitored point shaving for over 30 years on my own. I have made an special effort to predict point shaving on the internet for over ten years. And I have an overall winning record doing that also..

I will try and make this as easy to understand as I can. I want the NFL to stop point shaving. In a war with Irac and Afghanistan we have lost 5000 soldiers. This is supposed to be a fight for freedom, domocrasy and everything that goes with it. That does not include a bunch of corrupt businessmen rigging the pro football games for profit.

The time has come to say either stop or we will stop you. Period.

You can see the same senario every season. New Orleans won the game but did not cover the spread. This way you know they were really supposed to win last year's superbowl. But now you will be afraid to bet on them because they won but did not cover the points. And Indy lost to prove they really lost the superbowl. And they did not cover either so you will not be certain whether to bet on them or not. Usually Indy loses big on the road, and then they win big at home to justify their team in front of the home town fans. And then all the crap in the other losses is forgotten by the public.

I decided to drop my predictions on the Team #1 and Team #2 this year. While I like the idea of playing just one team all season. I do not feel I am winning this play enough to go on with it. You can come up with your own teams.

Plus I took credit for a win on the Norl.-Min. game instead of a tie. I had the line written down as -5.5, but when I wrote it on the software I made it -5. So I just padded my record by one win.

Welcome to the 2010-2011 NFL football season. I have just put up the first set of power ratings made from the first three weeks of pre-season this year. They are going to be used for the fourth week of pre-season now. Remember the idea is to give these ratings a one week trial before being used in the first week of the regular season. Then they are adjusted for one week before the real season begins.

While the players know that the fourth week of pre-season is their last chance to make it on the team before the regular season starts, pre-season football in my opinion is hard to handicap. The teams just are not trying as hard as they can. The teams do not want any unwanted injuries to key players before the season starts.

As we begin handicapping in 2010 please take a good look at the IND. rating. For many seasons now this team has gone to great lengths to hide the correct starting position where their first power rating should be. I feel the entire season Indianapolis plays this year under this quarterback should be considered suspect already. I will enter the sports betting line later in the week. Or you can just add it yourself whenever you want. Or you can leave it out altogether. Line in or line out it is not going to make any difference in the outcome of the games and the predicted scores this software will come up with as the season continues forward.
