Leroy’s Money Talks Invitational Tournament:
Unprecedented: Tie Goes to the…Rematch! Pro Handicappers Seek Elite Eight This Week Picks Broadcast throughout Nevada & www.americanwagering.com November 28, 2007 It has been a rough season for the Invitational players, and last weekend was the exclamation mark! Doc Moseman and Bill Edler finished with 2-5 records and missed their best bets, so they will pick again this week for the right to move on to the Elite Eight in Leroy’s Money Talks Invitational. On the other side of the bracket, pro handicapper Andy Iskoe dropped Larry "The Wizard of Odds" Trusley (4-3 vs. 2-5) to move on. Iskoe will face the winner of the Pat Little (4-3) vs. Jorge Gonzales (4-3) match at 2 p.m. at Fitzgerald’s in downtown Las Vegas. Gonzales currently leads the Reno Gazette-Journal betting column and has been one of this season’s hottest handicappers. On-line handicappers Sal and Adam Meyer square off in a pick-em match at 7 p.m. at the Stardust where Doc and Edler will have their "do-overs." The handicappers have had a tough season as their combined record made like the stock market and slipped to 139-155-14* against the spread. Here are the rest of the second round matches with first-round records:
The unique "Money Talks" is the largest event of its kind in Nevada and features 32 well-known handicappers who put up $5,000 each in a bracketed, head-to-head tournament...one loss and you’re done. The winner-take-all prize is $160,000 and will be determined on the finals scheduled for Dec. 28. Match winners are determined by the best record on seven college and/or pro picks against the spread. A "best-bet" designated among each player’s picks will settle any ties. The "Money Talks" show is broadcast on radio stations throughout the state each Friday with head-to-head, "live" picking. This Friday’s afternoon matches will take place at Fitzgerald’s in downtown Las Vegas from 2-3 p.m. It will be broadcast on KENO-AM -1460 in Las Vegas and KPLY-AM 630 in Reno as well as www.americanwagering.com The evening match from the Riviera Sports Book will be broadcast on KSFN AM-1140 in Las Vegas and KBZZ AM-1270 in Reno.
