BetCRIS Launchs Summer Classic Million Dollar Challenge

Joe “The Factsman” Apricena, known as the strongest baseball handicapper of the last two decades today issued a million dollar challenge to Mickey Richardson, CEO of BetCRIS Sportsbook, pledging that he will win 65 percent of his baseball wagers between April to October of 2006.


The challenge between the respected baseball handicapper and BetCRIS could be the largest wager ever recorded between a player and an online sportsbook.


BetCRIS is calling Apricena’s wager the Summer Classic Million Dollar Challenge. Apricena, is confident that from April to October, based on a minimum of 100 wagers, he will win 65% or more.


Before accepting the million dollar challenge, Mickey Richardson consulted his line management team at BetCRIS who told Richardson that the odds are stacked against Apricena by not being able to lay big favorites.


A spokesman at “The Factsman’s” Clearwater Beach office disagrees stating, “Joe just stole 5% we would have made the wager at 70%.”


As to why he took “The Factsman” up on his offer, Richardson said, “In 21 years BetCRIS has never shut a player out and we won’t start now. As for Joe, I respect his talent but think the odds are stacked against him.”
