Do you remember the first bet you ever made?
Yeah, I think it was when I was a kid. We bet a pop or something on the Greenbay Packers when they won the Super Bowl, years ago when Bart Starr played. That’s my earliest memory.
What was your most memorable bet?
My most memorable one was at the Super Bowl in Palo Alto, CA, at Stanford Stadium, when the 49ers were playing Miami for the Super Bowl. I was on the winning side with the 49ers. I did real well with the 49ers for a couple of years. The 49ers and the over came out more times.
What’s your favorite sport?
I enjoy football; I like the NFL of course, and college football. NBA basketball I follow, and the Canadian Football league is fun to watch and fun to play.
What your favorite team?
Favorite team is the 49ers.
Is there anything else you’d like us to know about yourself?
Just that I own the #5 Orange and we’ve been around for a long time. We were voted number one by Playboy Magazine back in 1988/89 one of the finest exotic bars in the world. I won the Hilton pool last year.
Are you involved in any other tournaments like this?
I in the Hilton pool again this year. I am involved in the big pool with the five casinos down in Vegas this year. I went down last week and joined. I forget the name of the pool.
