Recap of Weekend picks

Mayweather wins fight by knockout. Dallas and Giants both win. Baltimore not as fortunate.

Look for trends in football after a period of 4 games. This gives a better indicator of the type
of team and season.

                                                     Have a winning day!

Fight Night

Going to watch Mayweather vs. Ortiz. Mayweather is 7 to 1 favorite. Would not bet when odds
are that high but would take fight to go the distance. If there is a round that it may end, I lean
toward 10th.

I enjoy the hype of the 24/7 series. Mayweather is great at selling the promotional part of the fight.

I like the Giants, Dallas and Baltimore in football. Money line!

                                                Enjoy the fight and the night

In the past 23 hours,Hard Rock Casino has announced tentative plans to open
a casino in Atlantic City in 2014. It will be a boutique style hotel with 200
rooms. This will be the trend in most resorts that have gaming. They will open
with a smaller product offering and grow according to the market.

The New Atlantic City

The shift from day trip town to destination has begun. Since Atlantic City can
not compete for the drive down for a day player( he now drives to a casino closer
to his home) they are going after someone prepared to stay 2 -3 days.

The casino operators making a strong push to court the alternative lifestyle
community. They realize that is a market that has tremendous earning potential.

Finally,the reduction of labor during the beginning of the peak season is providing encouragement that things are on the upswing.Will this trend continue
remains to be seen.
