THE KING MAKER'S 2010 FOOTBALL RECORD AND WAGERS I'm not going to use The Sports Monitor for the Fall, but I'll keep the record and the wagers right here, so that everything is visible. I like The Sports Monitor, and I have no real complaints...

The Number #1 Threat to Pitchers on Tuesday: Larry Vanover: VERY small Left Side (catcher's left hand). VERY small High Zone. He's 9-4 to the OVER even though he's running a 2.35 K/BB ratio!!!! He's filling up his sheet with UNDER...

Sexy Saturday! WE have two mediocre "worm killers" in Baltimore! Livan Hernandez floats 30% of his pitches right at the gopher's forehead, and Mister Bergeson of Balto NEVER gets into the upper strike zone, so we have two fellas...

I've done the math. I've seen the reports and graphs. And it's very clear that the teams that hit too many grounders score the fewest runs. AND, as you know, line drives and fly balls are important factors in generating runs, and walks actually...

THE CRAPPY PITCHER INDEX (CPI) The King Maker's Plays for Tonight: Play #1: The Boston Red Sox -1.5 (EVEN) at BetUS for 5-Stars Play #2: The Philadelphia Phillies -1/2 -135 at BetUS (strong) Play #3: The Minnesota Twins -125 at BetUS...

Angel Campos has a very small LOW zone. (proven) Angel runs a K/BB ratio that rests in the 2.20-2.40 range during the last few seasons, but he's become a terror to pitchers during the first weeks of 2010. He was deceptive to me, because he had...

My original use of the term "King Maker" comes from a baseball handicapping system that I developed a few years ago. The King Maker System was an extremely popular subject at Pregame and it exploded with the help of my partner (The Game/JD)...

Charity is good, as long as you get to the stripe! Charity Hodges This is a real quick article in honor of a pal. He always gets nervous when we take an OVER if a lousy free-throw shooting team is in the mix. In many cases, it's a series...

This is an open letter to all aspiring Touts Rule #1: Your record is never as bad as it seems. THE KING MAKER is working with a dismal 7-9 record in NCAA football. He's made his clients an abysmal $170.00 on the season. That's not what...

Can Miami Actually Stop The Tech Offense? The new defensive coordinator for Miami was part of a team that shut down Tech last year (28-7 UNC Win). Unfortunately, he won't be suiting up against the Tech offense. The important thing to note...

If you receive money from a client base, then you have the money to reinvest in a monitoring service. It's just that simple . The owner of Pregame.com actually makes it easy on willing professionals to become the subject of an independent monitoring...

You can CRUSH a 3-4 with two Tight Ends This is a quick Blog to my Pregame buddies. I want you to take this Blog and apply it to every game that resembles this formula. The hard work is in the secondary and tertiary capping, but the opening screening...

I can't tell you if the Utah game will surpass the posted total. (not yet) I can't tell you, with any sort of certainty, that Utah can cover 21 points tonight. (not yet) And I'm not an expert on allignment strategy when facing a spread...

Just A Little Heads Up. At the end of the 2007 season 25 out of the top 30 individual leaders in TOTAL TACKLES were linebackers . Five of the top 30 were defensive backs ( including #4 Will Dunbar of UAB ). UAB was #114 in Total Defense. The...

The defensive line is the lynchpin of every defense. A strong defensive line will force a weaker offense to utilize their tight ends for blocking assignments. A weak defensive line will allow the TE to run his seam routes. When the TE runs free...

High departure rates within the ranks of NCAA football teams creates an expensive problem for the casual bettor. The preseason information mills are inefficient and unreliable.The general media-darlings guess their way through closed camps and various...

I am not a fan of Jose or the Sox, but there are times when the construction of a strike zone perfectly suits a questionable pitcher . Jose has contrived a 1.27 WHIP over his last three starts and he also threw a 1 hitter over 8 innings against...

THE GRAND SALAMI REPORT FOR HUMP DAY This report is just a "forecast" of potential outcomes, based on a few simple indicators. It might save you a few minutes of research if I post some of this for you. We have 15 games today and 6...

Note: I just posted the pick alert over my old Blog so that I wouldn't take up space in the Forum: I'd like to apologize for not posting plays, but it wasn't out of some innate need to screw anyone. I've been privately running...

Please be careful with Perkins of Minnesota! Perkins is a rare Left Hander who can't pitch to Left Handed batters. His average for the season on the Left is .368 and a quick double-check on his splits from last year indicate that he was almost...

Vulnerable Teams for Monday Toronto Tallet imploded against KC in his last outing, and the key here is that he has not gotten past the 6th inning against anyone this year. Word on the street is that teams are dialing in on him, and that doesn't...

Embrace an Indian if you can! Laffey Should be able to hold Detroit down Backing Cleveland is never a happy experience, but sometimes you have to go with the facts and let it ride. The Backside? Yeah Cleveland has one of the worst bullpens...

DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THIS INFORMATION: After all, it's your money.... The Boston Game Is More Likely To Exceed 9 Runs. The drawback comes first: Lester is actually getting his strike-outs (22/7 K/BB), but he's really missing the zone...

EVERYONE GETS TIRED! Michigan runs a "5-Out" Motion Offense with a thin bench . On top of this, The Wolverines have 4 players in their top 5 contributors that are either Freshman or Sophomores. When I mention the Michigan offense I want...

Every Girl has her own way of using a dress, and every bettor does the same with a trend. I submit that EVERY trend has an equal and opposite trend to counter it. We can argue the relative merit of that statement, so I'll throw out a perfect example...
