I was just informed that Joe Gavazzi filled for bankruptcy and his house is on foreclosure.

Really shows your how much PreGame is making. I was told by a close source to Joe they were going to "push him hard".

And it really really shows it's not that easy to scam people out of money as it was in the 80s.

Gavazzi now joins Teddy Covers as the latest cappers that couldn't afford their million dollar homes...

"This business isn't about winning your games. It' about marketing and selling your picks."

A summary of a quote Joe told me back in the day when I first started handicapping. I never really understood that until a few years ago....Now I really understand it...

Two things, a question and a thought:

How does Gavazzi's bankruptcy show how bad it is at Pregame?
If true, this news is sad.

I talked with Joe's assistant (Ann/Anne/Etc) in the summer of 2011. She informed me that Joe was being brought on to a "big site" and was going to "push him hard" and that it should turn things around financially. She didn't say what site, but I later found it was Pregame. If Pregame was pushing him, they must not be making much in big sales if Joe is having serious financial troubles.

This came from a very reliable source (my mom), who usually don't make stuff up to gain an edge in the sports betting/handicapping industry. But then again, if SJP was getting away with that stuff, I guess my mom could be Chad Millman?

Joe's a good all around guy, he just entered the industry in the 1980s when you were simply a telemarketing service selling sports picks.

P.S. I think Anne was a little more than an assistant LOL!
