It has come to my attention that many of you out there are becoming depraved because you're deprived. We can't have all this depravity around here, so as cure for your deprivity, er . . . . deprivation, I have the strongest play we've had in the NFL so far this season. As you may or may not know, the Crowne Club started as a group dedicated to sharing information. We still help each other with information. Tonight Cleveland... Read more

The conventional wisdom says, "You can't win betting a large number of games each day." Everyone has heard warnings such as, "When you bet a lot of games the vig will eat you up." The betting public has bought into this alleged "wisdom" completely. Some sports services charge more for "one strong game," and recommend betting big on it. Others give out 5 games every Saturday and 3 games every Sunday. In a different direction... Read more

I was off in London for a few days for a whirlwind tour. I pressed the flesh with endless cockney floozies in the tube, ate fish and chips, bangers and mash, roast beef with Yorkshire Pudding (which is really some sort of bread and not pudding at all), steak and kidney pie, and English breakfast with brown-colored Brown Sauce. London was horribly humid, ridiculously crowded, grimy, gloomy and grey. There was no style... Read more

The 3-Point Solution "Anyone who thinks the Preseason is meaningless doesn't understand football." -- Bill Parcells Many bettors believe that NFL Preseason games are meaningless and, therefore, cannot be bet profitably. In fact, the opposite is true. The preseason presents one of the most lucrative betting opportunities in the NFL. Have you noticed that over 80% of the games in the NFL preseason are set at or within... Read more

Only this play is good enough to be a follow up to my NFL Hall of Fame Game of the Year. You didn't fall for that game-name thing again did you? Of course my selection in the NFL game tonight between Green Bay and Denver is my " NFL FRIDAY NIGHT GREEN BAY/DENVER DRESS REHEARSAL TOTAL PLAY OF THE YEAR" There is only one Dress Rehearsal Game being played between Green Bay and Denver this year, the other stuff is extraneous...

Rule: To maximize your win you must risk more on the better bets and less on the worse bets and nothing on the bad bets. You cannot expect to win by risking larger sums on poorer bets, and lesser sums on better bets. Most bettors bet baseball by risking whatever is necessary to return their normal win amount. For example, if a bettor normally bets $110 to win $100 in sports with a point line, he will bet to win the same... Read more

Casey Stengel said, "Never make predictions, especially about the future." That's good advice from Casey, but he should have added, " . . .. especially when predictions about the future are based on won/lost records from the past." Most sports bettors and handicappers look at coaching records when making preseason selections. It is well known that some coaches, like Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio, New England's Bill Belichick...

I promised a pick package play in the NFL today, but all I had until very late were small plays. When selling individual plays I donn't like to put up anything but stronger plays. I put up on Pregame's free pick page a play on Tennessee -3, and here is the late play from the Wall Street Bankers Syndicate - take Tennessee to go over 33. Tennesseee will be playing Vince YOUng and the starters into the second quarter. When... Read more

Preseason football is in full swing, and I've got another warning for you. Beware of early selections made in newsletters and by services trying to capture your business early in the week. Most newsletters are written on Sunday for distribution by Monday or Tuesday. Preseason is a time when accurate picks simply cannot be made in weekly newsletters or on Tuesday for the following weekend. The intentions of the coach,... Read more
