Mating bettor s Bible is Gold Sheet the los Angeles times Beverly Hills califor Nia outside of said Mort Olshan i Don t know of anything that has gripped the american Public like or. Olshan was talking about sports wagering which has a big grip indeed. One estimate is that the handle in the United states alone comes to at least million a year. Or. Olshan has a professional interest in such activity. He publishes the Gold Sheet described on its Mast head As the american sportsman s Bible for sportsman a read Gambler the Gold Sheet in t for All sports fans. It s for the bettor half. The Gold Sheet is a weekly publication a single Gold Sheet 14% x 17% inches printed on both sides. It conies folded in Booklet size and Sells for a copy. It carries football and Basket Ball logs and columns of predictions basketball prophecy pigskin prophecy pro with notes on injuries and other matters of interest to bettors. The four of five selections regarded by or. Of Shan As the week s Best propositions Are prominently Dis played under the heading nationwide key releases. If you had bet every key release the first 13 weeks of this football season you would by our calculation have won 24 wagers lost 21. That s a winning percen Tage of 61.8. If you had wagered each selection you would have come out ahead. That allows for bookies commissions on losing wagers or. Olshan says he does t bet Lii self. He just Sells in formation. This raises two questions 1 if his information is Good How could he not bet 2 and Why does t everybody buy the Gold Sheet and become a Winner part of the answer to the first question May be that or. Olshan does very Well just Selling information. One source acquainted with the operation estimates or. Of Shan takes in nearly Mil lion a year. That s before taxes and expenses including the salaries of his six member staff rental of an office suite at the West end of the Sunset strip and print ing costs. Or. Olshan says he Sells about Gold sheets a week. At t3 a copy most sell at the newsstand Price and not the slightly lower subscription he would realize a week and Well Over a half million just i a football season. His year begins in july at the opening of the nil Hexhi bilion season. It ends in May after basketball. He does t fool with baseball. It s hard to predict a week in Advance who the pitchers will be. So he takes a Vaca Tion. But Why would t or. 01 Shau at least augment his business income by betting people tend to be cynic he said sitting at Bis desk in a sixth floor office overlooking the Boulevard. They say if you have so much Confidence in your handicapping Why Don t you take advantage of Well i m not going to jeopardize our operation by getting into any activity that might be prosecutable. We never want these phones used for any thing Fiat might be construed As illegal further if Kip Unger can forecast the Market Why does he need to operate a business newsletter Why a Standard and poor a i just got something from them re commending certain stocks. What do they need me As a subscriber for if they know it the answer or. Olshan said is that nobody knows it All. But the Guy who plays the football games like tha Guy who plays the Market May want professional Assis Tance. The professionals accumulate More information than an individual can on his own. Or. Olshan does not represent his service As an Avenue to easy riches. He said he has been on the plus Side 11 of the last 14 years. B u t if you d bet his picks last year Lor instance you would have lost. One or. Olshan said i was 0 for 10 on the howl games. That same year my daughter picked 7 out of 10." even if or. Olshan picked 70 per cent winners some of his subscribers would Proba Bly lose. They Don t necessarily follow All his picks. A Guy betting a game or two May use the Sheet merely to supplement his own information. Ask or. Brothers by or. Joyce Brothers dear or. Brothers my husband and i Are con stantly arguing about who should handle the Money in our family. This has become More and More of a problem because of rising prices less income and the dollars and cents pressures we be been facing. When we get uptight about Money it starts other quarrels because my Hus b a n d puts women Down every time he opens his Mouth about women s inability to understand facts and because he thinks All women Are such nitwits naturally he thinks be should have total control of the Bud get. Yet he does t have a clue As to what household items Cost these Days. He is. Pets me to be Able to live on the. Same food budget i was living on 10 years ago. This is ridiculous As every one who s been to a Market knows . Dear . Take your Hus band by the hand and Lead him to a Market. Let him do the shopping every other week and you take Over one of his tasks such As mowing the Lawn sweeping out the cellar or doing some simple repair Job which you can learn from a Book. Many women have been frightened by the belief that even the smallest repair Job is beyond them but this obviously in t True. Wisdom and ability to Han dle Money has nothing what Soever to do with sex. Some times the Man is better in Money matters and some limes the woman of the House is Superior. The important thing is to find out which of you has More Talent in this direction and then utilize that Talent. Money differences Between a husband and wife May re sult from childhood impress s i o n s or reflect opposing goals for the family or signal a Lack of discipline. Little can be accomplished to Over come your difficulties until you both recognize that there is a problem and that Money and economic problems Are adding needless tension to your lives. Obviously communication is essential if you Are to Settle this difficulty. A Lack of communication generates tension and will defeat you before you begin. Select a Good time to try a new discussion about finances. Don t attempt it on an empty stomach or when you re both exhausted but wait until you re rested and have had a pleasant meal without too Many cocktails before. Then begin by trying to separate and Divide responsibilities. Keep an open mind and be willing to Experiment on a week to week or month to month basis. Your husband could manage the car House and work related expenses and you could control spending for food household operations and most of the clothing. All spending decisions should reflect team Effort and you should be Able to draw up a general realistic Over All budget that would in clude something for recreation and vacations. Set these goals together and then stick to them but before you set them make sure that your husband has some first hand experience in food shopping. Developing a spending plan is one of the most useful ways to overcome the ten Sion and hostility generated by the subject of Money. I personally feel that it s very important to write Down the budget because then there can be no misunderstandings and it should be posted in some prominent place in Case it s needed to refresh someone s Rusty memory. Studies show that Money is the number one cause of worry in the United states. Trying to reconcile what we earn with what we spend is what causes the wrinkle in the brow and a great Many people never learn to live within their budget. A nation wide Survey indicates that married couples argue More frequently and More bitterly Over Money than anything else. Somewhat surprisingly it does t make any Dif Ference How much of that Green stuff there is either ;
