By Tony George THE SUPER BOWL OF BETTING IS HERE . Bear in mind with March Madness already showing that underdogs rule this time of year and nothing comes easy, it is good food for thought in the NIT and NCAA Tourneys. MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS . I went 63% overall in the Big Dance last year. I hit a big play for 3 units in the second round. I consider that a HUGE success. Anyone who exceeds 65% in the post season... Read more

By Tony George Last week was interesting week for the Big 12. Kansas dominated Mizzou in the border war on Big Monday on ESPN, winning by 18 points as the nation’s longest home court winning streak is extended to 54 games. We found out Mizzou has NO rebounding and trail the Big 12 in rebounding on the season. This weekend Kansas gets to face in state rival Kansas State who won a huge game at Baylor on Tuesday, despite... Read more

By Tony George The Big 12 has provided some major upsets, tough to figure lines, and hard to figure out teams so far in 2009. The race in the South is clearly all Texas, although the north division is up for grabs and Bill Snyder has silenced all critics with the K State Wilddcats currently in the lead in the north. I honestly think that is temporary. The showdown in Lawrence Kansas this week with Nebraska and KU... Read more

By Tony George Interdivisional contests offer great value to professional handicappers for a number of reasons. The most obvious being the fact that the handicapper can analyze the first meeting for insights into potential personnel mismatches on the field the second time around. However, after you consider all of the ?on field? issues (match-ups, injuries, emotional motivation, etc?) there remains some rock solid... Read more

By Tony George Another NBA season is set to start, seems like the last season just got over! I love capping the NBA, year in and year out one of my strongest sports. If any season other than MLB is a marathon, it is the NBA. My low volume approach is one I have adopted over the years for good reason, Money Management. I find the best bet on the board daily, and wager it. All on a flat bet basis. If I do not find... Read more

Wow, what a BAD weekend for the Big 12 North powers Nebraska, who fell at home to Texas Tech, laying 11 points (Your Forum and podcast free play here last week), Kansas falling to hapless Colorado on the road, and Missouri getting smacked at Okie State, blowing it in the fourth qurater again, just like they did against Nebraska the previous week. Impressive was Kansas State damn near being arrested for murder against... Read more

By Tony George www.pregamepros.com There has been enough football under our belt in this conference to weigh out my power ratings. I use these as overlays against the spread. Much like many novice cappers do with the Sargin ratings in USA Today against the Las Vegas Line. It is not broken down by division but is an overall ranking based on offense, defense, special teams, turnover ratios, and a few other intangibles... Read more

By Tony George Penneant races are heating up, and teams are bringing their A game every night, as well as some teams that are not so good and out of the playoff races, not throwing in the towel yet either This is also the time of year that opportunity knocks for sharp players to make large profits on MLB wagering, as oddsmakers are slower to react to changes in MLB with the king of all betting, football, now in full...

By Tony George As football approaches next week in full swing, I am getting emails from past clients of my own service asking me about certian handicappers, what level of club they should join at Score to compliment my subscription, and all kinds of crazy notions of parley odds they want and ect. After 17 years of handicapping in a very public manner, I get more and more of these every year. It is never too late to... Read more

The Big 12 North Season Preview By Tony George The balance has shifted in the North from the old days of Nebraska and then everyone else, to the rise of Kansas State in late 90's and then a myriad of teams rising and falling like Colorado. The power the past few years has centered on the border war between Missouri and Kansas, both of whom were consistent in the top 10 the past couple of years, with Mizzou having... Read more
