UNDEFEATED HOMERS AND MORE
By Joe Gavazzi, Winning Sports Advice

NFL Football is the most popular sport on which to wager. No game is larger than the Super Bowl in the eyes of the betting public. Literally billions of dollars will be wagered on this game and the hundreds of proposition bets (all widely favoring the house) that accompany it. It seems that it is almost un-American to not wager on the Super Bowl. The media hype that accompanies this game further fuels the fire. The social events that surround it only reinforce the emotional attachment to the outcome. Everyone has an opinion, only approximately 50% of them will win. That outcome will most probably be attached to the net turnover margin in the game rather than a positive play made by many of the fine offensive performers in the contest. In short, it is the essence of the word sports gambling. For there will be little handicapping analysis done by 99% of the people who make their wagers. To the professional handicapper and sports bettor, it is clear that there are far more outstanding wagers to be made this week on the nearly 300 basketball games that will be played. If your sports betting goal is to make money, I suggest you join the thought process of those professionals. Otherwise, you are just GAMBLING and you work too hard for your money to do that.
Now Hoops truly begin…That very special time of the year in College Hoops when 2nd Meet Revenge and Sweep Plays are joined by LHG plays and the CCT (college conference tourneys). And, you don’t want to miss my Conference GOYs which went 12-0 ATS (100%) last year. Monday’s card features (2) 3* plays from a pair of 9-0 (100%) situations.

Now onto Undefeated Homers……
All records in this article are through Sunday, January 26, 2014. With all teams having played several home and road games in conference action, it is time for us to take a look at our undefeated homers and more. The article will be divided into 3 distinct sections, easily understood by viewing them below. I will leave it to the creativity of the reader to determine how best to use these lists. I am very confident in the ways that I have chosen to use them since 1979. As with any handicapping article I author, I always add the rejoinder that for best results, you should use a blend of statistical, fundamental, situational, and technical handicapping including home/road dichotomies and coaching personality profile trends. If you don’t have the 34 years experience that I have, or choose to spend the 80+ hours a week that I do in handicapping these teams, you may choose to purchase my opinions each day right here.
