By Tony George As I look over round 1 of the playoffs, I like to find an underdog and a Favorite to place a small wager on. As you all know I am NOT a huge fan of exotic wagers, and am a flat betting type guy across the board, however a small $100 wager for some fun and or a long shot to hit is always a small rush. I do not recommend laying any type of big money out there, and the books rake on these futures bets are... Read more

By Tony George The Playoffs are here!! Many teams wrap up the regular season in the next few days, and of course that makes for some dangerous betting and unpredictable results. I skew the numbers from the last week and next few days as many games are meaningless with teams that matter in the post season, as they are resting players and not playing to potential. For teams like Chicago and Toronto in a battle in the... Read more

By Tony George It seems like a month or two ago we finished off another winning season in MLB and a killer 11-4 post season, and now the new season is here and kicking off April 4th. Ther are a few things that temper my excitiement, because I love capping baseball, so I will lay out my startegy for MLB, and the reason why my kick off is slower than others for the season. Why Wait 3 to 4 Weeks to start posting plays... Read more

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 They are coming to Kansas City, and yours truly, who owned this conference again this year with over 60% winners for the 8th straight season will be at every game in Kansas City in person with a pass for this tourney! After dominating the MO Valley tourney and conference in the past 2 weeks, I turn my attention to this tourney, WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE IS PLAYING FOR SECOND PLACE . Kansas will be unbeatable...

By Tony George The Big 12 is shaping up to be Kansas, and basically everyone else folks. The Jayhawks have been tested on the road and survived a scare at Colorado, beat K State on the road in a big game, dominated Texas on Big Monday this past week, and manhandled their hated rival MIzzou. The depth of Kansas is an issue for any team who plays them, and Aldrige in the paint is a machine on the boards. They have issues... 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 more than just Texas and Kansas this year. There are 8 teams in this conference that have 5 losses or less, 2 of them have only 1 loss, and 3 teams are ranked in the Top 10. As a matter of fact, the home teams combined headed into last weekend from the Big 12 were 104-4 SU at home. The Home Court in the Big 12 is as strong as any conference in the land, as evidenced by Kansas State... 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
