Don is a grizzled veteran to sports gambling and handicapping world. He broke into the professional sports handicapping ranks in the early 1980’s where he earned his nickname as “The Hound.” The nickname was given to him by a mentor at the time named Gary Knockton. Gary was one of the great handicappers and professional gamblers of his time and Don gives Gary credit for the majority of his success today. Don inherited the name “The Hound” from Gary for his raw handicapping instincts and ability to see value in lines that Vegas set to trick the public.
