ARMCHAIR ODDSMAKER DOESN’T WANT YOU TO GAMBLE

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Wireless Flash) – A Louisville, Kentucky man may have won an ESPN contest for picking football winners, but he isn’t going to play the betting game. 45-year-old Bob Grieco beat out 24 other armchair oddsmakers to win a spot on ESPN’s Rose Bowl broadcast where he’ll announce his predictions and talk about his choosing process. Although he has faith in his system, he doesn’t want the folks at home to take a gamble on his picks. Grieco says he holds no responsibility for his picks and says the point of sports is “to have fun and enjoy the game.” He hopes people will keep their cash in their wallets.
