Biscuit managed a smile as he took one last walk. Biscuit lived life to the fullest. No part of the woods was left unchecked. His unrelenting energy was infectious. It made his struggles all the more sad. I have cried for 2 weeks straight. He was 15.5. Please R.I.P.

If you win betting sports, you DO NOT NEED to charge anyone for picks. If your information is so wonderful, then use it yourself to make money, instead of selling it, like it is a prized possession. Think about those words. If something is good, you will win. No need to sell.
