bigz - This was brought up on the PBA.com forums and Mike stepped in and answered that he had sold his interest in the horse racing syndicate 3 or 4 years ago. Apparently his bio page had never been updated and this was where they were getting this info for the telecast.

DeVaney caused his own problems. He wasted the money he had and didn't invest it right. He squandered the income and the money he had and cost his family.
He and only he, made the incorrect decisions.
Pro bowling, isn't the biggest paying job in the world, but not too may places can you make $25,000+ for a few hours of work.
It's up to you to figure out how to wisely keep that money.
DeVaney knows he messed up, he is open about it. It's not the PBA or Bowling fault.
Glad to know that Devaney's Financial Advisor is posting on these boards. He said he made some mistakes...but to talk down to him like you're someone special is a bit ridiculous. He makes about $40k/yr on average out there...and brings home maybe 50% of that if he's lucky.

cisco..i wished that i had seen that.
i'm glad to see that he's trying to get his life on track,but he still needed some cash in reserve so that he's not putting his family in such a desparate sutuation.

If he was in golf he would have made about 1.5 million to be top 50 in world!
The sport was fine in the 70s!
Finals like this one...should bring it all back! ....RIGHT!

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong but....I have a 4 year old son myself...and I'd put him having somewhere to live before I'd bowl something like that.
devaney is more than likey a better bowler and/or atleast has a better chance of winnig a tourny than you.... also throws storm not track.

Then again, with a mortgage, wife and 3 kids who eat like theres no tomorrow, I would have to pass on the tour...Even if I was a Devaney. You can make a living playing tennis within top 150-200, sadly for bowling thats not the case.
It makes u appreciate how brilliant the Duke,Waler,Parker,Barnes and the likes truly are!
