Book has been out for more than a year, I believe...

Also, I always thought it was a strange "record" to hang one's hat on -- the whole "207 days in a row" thing. Who cares? What it means is, technically (and hypothetically), he could have picked only one winner on each of those 207 days, lost money ever day, but still claim this as a "good thing?"

And didn't someone once prove that he actually had a couple of days where he didn't pick a winner? I thought I saw that posted here in the past.

If some of the posters didn't have a "new book" to read what would there be to look forward to. Went to his home page, apparently book was originally $39.95, the ad read "pre-published" price of $14.95, therefore thought it was something new. Value is found in a winning ticket.

I'm curious how the DRF happened to record his 207 days of winning. If they hire people just to follow booksellers around and record their winnings and losings, they can hire me for the job! :D

He worked for the DRF and NY Post as a handicapper. He is a handicapper that also writes books, like a zillion other h/c's.
