Let me get it straight.

I dont care about sports. Shame on me but I dont even know the
football rules. Never cared less.

What I care about is making money for me and my family.

I tried everything from stocks & forex to internet marketing and
affiliate programs.. I even made some money but then blew it all away
when the stock market went south.

What I was looking is the long term solution that can give me an edge.

Z Code is not about sports. It is about following the system and
winning in a long run. That is why it is called sports investing and
not gambling.
