You da man.  Damn, they took their foot off the pedal a bit too early though, eh?  I was afraid Seattle would go for a two pointer to get it to 10.

I get charged 2-3% per year for RRSP's that have anemic returns.  And they call sports betting a racket.

This is a 6 point tease, I assume?  Can you get it at this?  I would have it at +2.5 each.

I hope everyone continues to follow and gain profits from this thread.  I want to point out as most followers know this is a very agressive form of investing.  I have already begun to scale down my wagers.  I will continue to push for 55% winners and those are going to be the majority of the wagers going foward.  I will still aim for 57% on my big plays but the bottom line is WE DONT WANT TO OVERBET.  Kelly wagering can be volatile if not used correctly.  Im no professional but I feel that years watching and soaking in all the information I know today will only lead to my success in this business.  I have a passion for this and hopefully going foward we can all continue to learn.  I hope that doubters will continue to become believers.  Its easy to pick winners but difficult to invest your $ correctly.  Good luck guys.  I just felt like talking today so there it is!!!
