Well I signed up for my buddy Joey's pick 'em service.  Forty bucks a month.  Got wins in three out the first four picks since I signed up.  Haven't seen that he publishes his trade tracker.  But I'm tracking them myself and I got me a good little trade tracker going.  I started out with a $50 account at the Draft Kings Sportsbook.  After one day of betting it's sitting at $52.18 on four one dollar bets.  I have no idea where I'd be if I made ten dollar bets.  But that's the plan.  Make ten one dollar bets to see how his track record looks.  If I'm in the black then make ten ten dollar bets and see how that turns out. Got the Friday live with Pirate today.  Last Friday was the big SVIB trading hald story.  Then I've read that some said this has been one of the craziest weeks  in the market in the history of  markets.  Big scare headlines trying to make people run for the hills.  Well as an old Dave Ramsey st...

The patience of Job.

Keep working the job. Dave Ramsey.  Beans and rice.  Rice and beans. There's lots of guys in worse shape than I'm in.  But that's no excuse to quit working.  Coach Prime isn't going to stop working and he ain't hard to find either.  National championship baby.  You know that's the only thing on Coach Prime's mind. And Dave Ramsey is not retiring by any stretch of the imagination.  And I'm sure Matt Furey is out there somewhere.  I'll keep my goo-roo watch blog going and keep pushing out paychecks from my remote work headquarters.  It is a privilege to have such a good job as I have and I am glad to have it.  My good old manager Maurice just lost the battle to cancer.  Earth is a lot poorer and heaven is a lot richer. He's up there with Mom and Dad now. Meanwhile down here.  If you're reading this I'll assume you are still down here.  Now it's possible that you are reading this after I am long gone.  That would be the ...

Positive Mental Attitude

But all of the poor kids on the Jackson State University football team are not any different than many poor kids on football teams all across this great country.  And American football is about the best game any young man could be in.  That and wrestling and any competitive sport is good for any young man who is able to compete at any level.  Chess is also good.  Physical and mental competition is good.  And it doesn't matter how poor you are or if your idol coach just pulled up stakes and went to a better opportunity thousands of miles away, that don't matter.  You got to pay your bills and work on your business.  And that's where Dave Ramsey comes in.  I think a core component of any young person's athletic career should be education.  This is nothing new but it seems to me that financial Dave Ramsey type education is sorely lacking and needs to be kicked up to the Prime Time level. If you can motivate those kids to win back to back champio...
