The Bookie Priest
The Bookie priest has handicapped sports for over 30 years. He has been a priest for 35 years. Raised in Cleveland, his love of sports was trumped only by his love of God and the Church.

He started handicapping as a hobby back in 1978 and was about a 60% winner. He currently is on a sabbatical or a vacation as a we call it till he gets assigned to a new parish. His last parish was Our Lady of the Big Toe where he served as pastor for his flock in Boise, Idaho.

I think this bio was meant to be funny :roll:

Mike North intentionally means to be funny and isn't. When he's trying to be serious is when he's at his funniest.

Ok, whatever loser would even consider signing up to this site, once he see's this bookie priest shit, he will leave. Degenerate gamblers don't have patience for bullshit.

Haha, "the Mike"

I was starting to think that the joke is on us and this whole thing is a satirical commentary on the nature of sports betting and the anonymous nature of the online community.

But then I remembered that Mike North did it.

I had the same thought this morning. This can't be real, can it? They're honestly expecting someone serious about gambling--serious enough to pay $100/month for information--to go to this site, see those bios, including one of a fictional character, and say, yeah, this is for me!

This is stupidity of epic proportions, even for North.

By the way, anyone out there familiar with the website business know approximately how much it takes to get a site like that up and running?

I'm not in the biz but would guess that he gets it for free from one of his guys who got some free plugs back in the day.

I would think even more likely is he is backed by one of these sportsbooks that sign-up quasi-celebrities

God, Mike North. How "quasi" of a celebrity can you get?

Did they mention if Bookie Priest hears confessions or does weddings?

Anyone who didn't think Mike North was an asshole should really go to this website.
They'll change their minds.
