Part 21

I walked into the office sometime in July 1997 when I heard Dennis talking to Vince Reo, the editor of the LVSN.. Dennis was telling Vince to keep an eye on me because I am making too many friends since the HBO interview and all New Yorkers were sneaky or words to that effect.. I was making friends and I was tired of being accused of shit I did not do so I simply interrupted the conversation and said.. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME , I QUIT...

 The first thing I did was contact HBO to tell them they can black out the banner of the LVSN since I was no longer working for them, they were happy to do so! I was very upset with Dennis, I was promised a bonus which I did not get and he was questioning my loyalty.. He was counting on that add to air as it would give his Sports Book great exposure, I was not going to let that happen especially since I was not working for him!

 Shortly after I quit a former LVSN employee came to me with a offer to partner up with him and open up our own Handicapping Service.. We were banking on my HBO Interview to bring us attention and also utilize news paper adds, plus we had 50,000 names of proven players that were all active bettors.. In mid August 1997 we opened our office in Allentown not too far from were I live today.. We hired 3 more people that also recently walked out on Dennis, he was very tough to work for.. I really was excited about my new venture and looking forward to seeing the HBO interview and the new adds that were to hit the Daily News and the USA Today.. I don't remember the exact day but the adds were due to hit the same time the Segment was to air... Mentally I was on top of the world but not financially as everything was ridding on this interview....
