For nearly a decade beginning in the mid-80s, I co-authored “Playbook” with Marc Lawrence of Preferred Picks. Later, I wrote and edited “Power Plays” in conjunction with Steve Turner of Texas Sports Wire.

I served as consultant to multiple sports books on the Island of Curacao and was a General Managing Partner of Casino of the Americas on the Island of St. These years provided outstanding education, as I was able to experience the mentality of the average sports bettor as well as that of the linemaker as wel as handicapper. It was also in the decade of the 1990s that I transitioned seamlessly to the opening of my first internet site, “the green gorilla.com.” In recent years, I developed and initiated the Winning Sports Advice App, partnering with Apple to disseminate the information through the ITunes store. Currently, my information is available at the winningsportsadvice.com website. In addition, my volumes of articles are available on joegavazzisports.com.
