Executive summary: The Zen of Gambling

Sports handicapper, chairman and CEO of GWIN Inc. ("the world's only publicly traded sports handicapping and information firm") and host of The Winning Edge on Fox Sports. He has also devolved into the lowbrow yet lucrative area of self help books and far, far right-wing politics.

In 2004 he told an interviewer: "Once I become even more well-known, and as soon as I have enough money, I will run for the U.S. Senate." And in a 2008 he said "I plan on being the President of the United States in [2024]... People laugh at that, but I'm going to do it."

"The Republican Party is supposed to be the party of anti-government. And by going into people's bedrooms and checking up on what they're doing, by telling you whether you can be gay or straight, I think they've become the party of big government." [Politically Incorrect, 9th March 1999.]
