Drock Sports Update

It was a so-so NHL playoff run going: 10-13-4 (43.4%) +0.19 units , but a memorable NBA run that went: 41-41 (50%) +72.82 units (Thank you to the Boston Celtics winning SU as huge underdogs to the Cavs on May 21st, it will not be forgotten).  I have now been officially one year Free from selling.  I do not plan to go back to selling at all as I will continue to give you my picks for free.  One of the biggest complaints I receive is posting and have lost many loyal viewers because of this.  I try to keep drocksports.com updated and tweet out what I am on that night and update later.  I am not always on my computer at every single moment of life when I move on a game, that is why I tweet out what I am on when I move on a game and update later.  I apologize if this doesn't work for most, but my life I live is busy and sportsbetting is my passion and operating drocksports.com is my hobby.  You can always tweet at me for a reason why I have moved on a particular game as I can't always get around to provide a long write up to why each night. Moving forward, my concentration this summer will be on the CFL as the 2017 season kicks off on Thursday.  Last year I went: 21-19 (52.5%) +26.73 units.  It was a great plus money season and look to maintain that momentum.  Another recent passion of mine has been golf, specifically DFS Golf.  This has been growing on me recently and I have been able to find value playing it.  Each week I will provide my [...]
