One thing that always baffled me was the lack of discussion on weather in general when it came to betting on baseball. During football season, you could not talk about a total and not have someone chime in with wind or a pending rain storm coming. The fact is, especially in football, to think the oddsmakers do not have the weather channel and factor all the above into the number is nieve. I am not claiming the lines and... Read more

Whether it is in the forums, sportsbooks or at the corner bar you always here the infamous "the public is all over this team, take the opposite!". I have lost count of all the "anti-public" systems that have been claimed to be "bookie killers" and were simple as fading the public. You can actually see the public data here at Pregame using the Sportsbook Spy feature. Here is something that I think might come to a shock... Read more

There is one constant in sports gambling. That constant is that by the time the masses catch on to something to the point they can beat the bookie, things will change in the opposite direction. In this example, I am referring to the infamous home underdog on Monday Night Football. The season started off with the Denver Broncos DESTROYING the home dog Oakland Raiders 41-14 to continue the trend to once again take money... Read more

First off, everyone loves to be a square at one time or another. Personally, I have been booted from close to 10 offshore sportsbooks. At BetUS, they deal me different lines and will only allow me to RISK $500.00 per bet. Bodog will also deal me a sharp line and not allow me to bet the line the majority of their audience is allowed to use. My friend over at Bet Jamaica will allow me to play there, but not credit me any... Read more

There is no denying that the SEC is the best conference in college football. At the same time, there is no denying those numbers are not AS GREAT when you take away the games played in the friendly confines of southern weather and fans. For example, Tennessee has only lost two season openers in the last 16 years and both of those times were games on the West Coast against Pac 10 schools. To take it even a step further... Read more

The clock is ticking and we are just over a week away from the opening week of college football. I already have that uneasy knot in my stomach of joy knowing that within a couple days I can start making college football picks . Some of the bigger games to watch are: NC State South Carolina -12 Oregon State -3 Stanford Utah Michigan -4 Syracuse Northwestern -12 Oklahoma State -6.5 Washington State Hawaii Florida -34.5...

Last season they went 12-1. Won the Orange Bowl 24-21 as 3.5 point dogs over Virginia Tech. Went 11-1 against the spread, cashing 92% of their games for bettors who made college football picks . +21 on turnovers Return 6 starters on offense and 9 on defense in 2008 AND, they have a head coach that can "out-eat" any other coach in college football. The Kansas Jayhawks shocked the college football world by going undefeated... Read more

It is close to that time of the year when the "King of Kings" when it comes to gambling returns: Football. Basketball, baseball, hockey, etc all pale in comparision to betting on football. There is nothing like seeing the lines and spending more time coming up with picks than you probably spend with family and friends on the weekend. Some people call it a day and use a professional sports service. Other people spend hours... Read more

These are some general rules and guidelines that I have learned over the years. Of all the sports that an online sportsbook or local bookie will take a wager on, football by far is the best when it comes to action and excitement. Not only that, if you are capable of keeping your mind and heart separate when it comes to analyzing games, you are one step in the right direction. Below are 10 things that I feel are important...

Not sure what forum or where this started, but I keep hearing people with the utmost confidence claim all they do is bet +140 dogs and clean up. While in Vegas for RJ's bachelor party I was at the Venetian playing 2-5 and this arrogant cat next to me claimed that is all he does and what do I know as he gambles for a living! Well, after I shot my resume out and left him with the stupid look I explained to him how he determined... Read more
