THE SKINNY: Just imagine for a moment if Driveline didn't register the worst best-bet numbers for last year's entire competition (21-27-1 for a .438 Win%--regular season & postseason combined)? Just imagine how many more points he could have added to his incredible and all-time, record-setting 100-point season that he unleashed in last year's Bookie Challenge competition? With a decent best-bet record in last year's handicapping campaign, Driveline would have probably registered a single-season record for most total points that would certainly stand for many years to come, perhaps forever. Hell, for that matter, his 100-point, single-season record that he knocked down last season might already be an all-time record that will stand the test of time and will not be broken for years and years to come. More importantly, Driveline's magnificent performance in last year's competition is why he is this year's #1 ranked handicapper in this year's preseason rankings. To say the least, there was no way he wasn't going to be afforded the benefit of the doubt and not be ranked #1 before the start of the 13th Annual Bookie Challenge, not after he took down his second overall Bookie Challenge championship last year. To put it into its proper perspective, Driveline is only the 3rd participant in the history of the Bookie Challenge to have won multiple Bookie Challenge championships. So believe it, the Fisher of Winners is now the hunted, the one everybody else in the competition will be looking to dethrone. |
