I guess I’d better make it clear before I begin that although I do follow football I rarely make money betting, not even in the office pool. This program is therefore perfect for me because it says right on the cover that it is “not to be used for any illegal activity.” It is supposed to predict the winners and point spread.
Eagerly I tore open the plastic zip-lock bag. The booklet fell apart — someone had forgotten to staple it. Never mind. With sweating palms and a glazed look I started to read: Pick home team from list. Okay. Same for visitor. Okay. Now Points for and against. Okay. Number of games played? Okay. Any injuries? was next. Okay. Finally, Did each team win its last game? Okay.
Then came a cloud of doubt. The last question after the prediction was “Predict anther (sic) game? Who are these Anthers? Are they a sure thing? How did I fail to hear about them?
Anyway I phoned by book . . . no — my accountant, and proceeded to — never mind!
It’s a good program — a little overpriced at nearly $20, but with good judgement — and that is recommended all through the manual and on the tape. This could be an interesting aid for a football addict.
