Book Celebrates 15 Years of Outperforming Wall Street Using NFL Strategy

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 9, 2008

In his new book author Eddie Getz explains the NFL betting strategy that has defeated Wall Street’s major indexes over the past 15 years. “The Underdog Theorem: How to Bet on the NFL and Win While Outperforming Wall Street” is written for the sports gambler and non-sports gambler alike. It presents a new idea, demonstrates its success, and aims to change the way fans view each NFL season.

“The Underdog Theorem is an idea that has been overlooked by every sports fan,” says Getz. “Yet readers will see that it seems slightly obvious in hindsight.”

Howard Schwartz, the marketing director for the Gambler’s Book Shop in Las Vegas, the world’s oldest and largest book shop dedicated to gambling, said, “One of the unique and refreshing new ‘how-to’ bet pro football books to hit the Gambler’s Book Shop shelves in many a year is Eddie Getz’s The Underdog Theorem.” According to Schwartz, “The book may be the sleeper of the year.”

“The Underdog Theorem” explains that the tens of millions of viewers surprised by the result of last year’s Super Bowl should have seen that underdog upset coming. Originally published one year ago, “The Underdog Theorem” was updated to include the results of its 15th season after it once again correctly predicted that no team would go undefeated in the NFL. The Underdog Theorem was dramatically reaffirmed when the New York Giants ended the New England Patriots’ run toward perfection and preserved the 1972 Miami Dolphins’ place in history.

“A goal of The Underdog Theorem is to introduce a new idea to anyone interested in the NFL. But beyond football, the book is for anyone who enjoys discovering new things hidden in plain sight — new facts buried in familiar results,” says Getz. “We’re only two months away from the start of the 2008 NFL season. After an amazing 2007 season, and with some fans and commentators predicting that New England will once again challenge Miami’s 1972 undefeated feat, it’s a fun time for more people to learn about the Underdog Theorem. And for the first time in years, Wall Street seems to be giving points heading into the season. Wall Street’s very bad year should help the Underdog Theorem toward its goal of outperforming yet again.”

“The Underdog Theorem” addresses America’s conflicted relationship with gambling and asks the reader to recognize how prevalent gambling really is in our society, especially on Wall Street. The book provides a brief history of the NFL, beginning in the 1920s and continuing through the incredible seasons of the 1972 Miami Dolphins and the 1985 Chicago Bears. It discusses the league’s struggle with free agency and its creation of the salary cap, and explains that these two developments made the Underdog Theorem possible. Each piece of the Underdog Theorem, and every step required to apply it, is explained to the reader. Finally, the book lists all picks the Underdog Theorem has ever made — every pick from every NFL weekend of the past 15 seasons, as well as every pick’s result and payout. These data allow the reader to see the strategy’s full results and thoroughly evaluate the idea for himself. Such transparency is not typically allowed in books of this kind.

“The Underdog Theorem” is available at the Gambler’s Book Shop, the High Stakes Gambling Bookshop in the United Kingdom, and Amazon.com.

Getz says the strategy was born of a very basic observation about all NFL teams. “Ultimately, I hope this book starts a discussion about an idea that claims something pretty bold — that it’s possible to predict certain outcomes in every NFL season.”

Eddie Getz used to work on Wall Street, but is spending this NFL season maintaining the Underdog Theorem blog at http://underdogtheorem.wordpress.com.

American Association of Poison Control Centers Celebrates 50th Annual Poison Prevention Week

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) March 14, 2012

The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) will join local poison centers and poison prevention partners across the country in celebrating the 50th anniversary of National Poison Prevention Week March 18 through 24, 2012, according to Dr. Rick Dart, AAPCC president.

Since 1962, the President of the United States has proclaimed the third week of March as National Poison Prevention Week to raise awareness about the dangers of poisoning.

Much progress has been made in poisoning prevention in the 50 years since National Poison Prevention Week was first observed, Dart said. However, there is still much work to be done; poisoning is now the leading cause of death from unintentional injuries in the U.S. ahead of motor vehicle crashes and guns.

Fifty years ago, 3-year-old Philip was rushed to the nearest hospital 30 minutes away. Tragically, he had found and drunk a bottle of rat poison. Although every attempt was made to save his life, he lived only a few more hours. Fifty years later, his sister Cathy Seifried of Texas is still grieving. According to Seifried, her brothers death had long-lasting effects on her entire family. I had good parents, Seifried said. They managed to function and go through the daily motions, but as a family, we were broken.

Today, Seifried focuses on supporting poison control centers. If our family wouldve had access to the education, outreach and treatment services that todays poison centers offer, we may have avoided the heartbreak and devastation caused by my brothers death, Seifried said.

Cathys story illustrates the importance of the treatment services provided by Americas 57 poison centers, said Debbie Carr, AAPCC executive director. Unfortunately, federal budget cuts in 2011 reduced funding for poison centers by 36 percent; further cuts will make it difficult for poison centers to continue providing those essential, life-saving services.

According to Carr, Americas 57 poison centers are committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of every American through poison prevention and free, confidential, expert medical services. Poison centers respond to calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to help those who have been exposed to toxic substances. They also are committed to providing information about how poisonings occur and ways to prevent them.

In 2010, U.S. poison centers answered more than 3.9 million calls, including nearly 2.4 million calls about human exposures to poisons. About 75 percent of all calls to poison centers originated in peoples homes, and about 71 percent of the people who called with poison emergencies were treated at home following the advice of poison center experts, saving millions of dollars in medical expenses.

Since 1962, the third week of March has been designated National Poison Prevention Week and has focused national attention on the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. Every day of this years 50th anniversary will focus on a poison-prevention-related theme:

Sunday, March 18 Poisonings Span a Lifetime
Monday, March 19 Children Act Fast So Do Poisons
Tuesday, March 20 Poison Centers: Saving Lives 24/7
Wednesday, March 21 Take Your Medicines Safely
Thursday, March 22 Home Safe Home
Friday, March 23 Poison Prevention Superheroes: Share Your Stories
Saturday, March 24 50 Ways To Prevent Poisonings

Philip has been gone for 50 years, Seifried said. I know there are many other stories just like his. For their sakes, please get involved with your local poison center in promoting poisoning prevention and the Poison Help number. You can make a difference.

If the unthinkable happens, its good to know help is just a phone call away, Dart said. Program your cell phone with the Poison Help number and post it near your home phone. 1-800-222-1222.

For more information, the media may contact Loreeta Canton, AAPCC communications manager, at 703.894.1863 or canton(at)aapcc(dot)org or Brett Schuster, communications assistant, at 703.894.1859 or schuster(at)aapcc(dot)org.

The AAPCC supports the nations 57 poison centers in their efforts to treat and prevent drug, consumer product, animal, environmental and food poisoning. Members staff the Poison Help hotline at 1-800-222-1222 that provides free, confidential, expert medical advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year from toxicology specialists, including nurses, pharmacists, physicians and poison information providers. In addition, the AAPCC maintains the only poison information and surveillance database in the United States, providing real-time monitoring of unusual poisoning patterns, chemical exposures and other emerging public health hazards. The AAPCC partners with federal agencies such as EPA, HRSA and the CDC, as well as private industry.
