Presidential trivia part 4

Before diving into this week’s newsletter, I want to express my apologies for the late release of the previous issue. This hold-up was caused by some technical difficulties. That newsletter included valuable betting tips for the Super Bowl, but regrettably, it didn't go out until Monday, right after the event. I sincerely hope you took my recommendation from the February 3 edition to wager on the Bengals with a +4.5 spread.

As we celebrate Presidents Day this upcoming Monday, I'm pleased to present this fourth batch of presidential trivia. You can find the previous three parts in our compilation of historical newsletters .
