The Hilton Consensus “Everything is relative.” -- Albert Einstein This past week Minnesota was selected by 145 contestants. Only 16 contestants picked against Minnesota by selecting Arizona. Despite the 129-contestant differential between those picking Minnesota and those picking Arizona, Minnesota did not make it into the Top 5 Consensus posted around the net. Instead, Tennessee was installed in 5th Place in the Consensus... Read more

Tonight, the NFL Preseason starts with the Hall of Fame Game between the Tennessee Titans and the Buffalo Bills. I got my start in the sports advisory business as the organizer of an information network. At no time, in any sport, is informaiton more important to winning than in the NFL Preseason. Here is all the important information you will need make a winning selection in the Hall of Fame Game. Buffalo coach Dick Jauron... Read more

Each March, some teams have an unrecognized home court edge that provides one of the biggest betting advantages to be gained during the NCAA March tournaments. When a team plays on its home court everyone recognizes the edge, and unless that edge is miscalculated, the bettor gains no advantage. The line-maker sets the line to split public opinion, and, in most cases, he can only do that by setting the line where... Read more

The definition of stupid is someone who can't learn, even from experience. Put a rat in a maze and give it electric shocks when it goes the wrong way and it will quickly learn the maze. Not the KC Cheifs' Chief Coach Herm Edwards. He keeps making the same mistake over and over and over again. He keeps failing but he still can't seem to learn. That is true stupidity. It's probably not his fault. He was likely born stupid... Read more

10 SIGNS THE ECONOMY IS IN TROUBLE 1. Your bank has stopped giving away toasters, and is now selling them. 2. When you move, your house sells for less than your dining room set. 3. Your mortgage company is offering you free gifts if you will just make your mortgage payment. 4. You bought $200 of your local bank's stock, and they just nominated you to the Board of Directors. 5. Your balance at the gas pump is higher than... Read more

Tampa Bay -170 over Philadelphia (Shields over Myers) Last night I gave you a win with Philadelphia as pick. The professional sports handicapper has no team loyalty. My loyalty is to whichever team handicaps to win the game I'm handicapping. Tonight that's Tampa Bay as a -170 favorite. I don't have time to be funny or run through every statistic tonight. We have the first day of Breeders' Cup action coming up tomorrow... Read more

Here are the best props for the Monday, October 24 game between Denver and New England. As I said last week, proposition bets are the most profitable bets available for the small bettor. Unfortunately, you can't bet them big, but you can win an unusually high percentage. TEAM TOTAL: Take N.E. under 26. With Matt Cassel at QB expecting 27+ points is wishful thinking. N.E. has scored more than 26 points in only one game... Read more

HERE COMES THE BREEDERS' CUP This year's Breeders' Cup will be run at Santa Anita Racetrack in California. Santa Anita will also host the Breeders' Cup next year, making it the first racetrack to get the coveted honor twice in a row. Last year marked the first time the races were run on two separate days. This year it will again be run on two days. On Friday, October 24, there will be five Breeders... Read more

Yesterday, in a post entitled "Sunday Night Propositions," I wrote: "Handicappable propositions are some of the most profitable bets one can make." As proof I gave you four of the best propositions for Sunday Night. The free props were 3-1, and should have been 4-0 were it not for a pass that was thrown right into the receiver's hands on the goal line and was promptly dropped for no apparent reason, resulting in a field...

Handicappable propositions are some of the most profitable bets one can make. The lines on proposition bets are set within general parameters for all teams, which gives the handicapper who calculates the specific odds for the teams in the matchup a huge edge. The side and total in tonight's game is very difficult to pick. The propostions, however, offer a great opportunity to make money on the game despite the difficulty... Read more
