Expecting a blowout tonight?…Bettor Beware..!

This is a matchup of strength versus weakness. Hawaii is reknowned for their over the top passing game and have made it there key to any success they might have…However, they will be facing a Louisiana Tech team that is only giving up 157 yards per game through the air. Tech, although they haven’t shown it so far, has a awesome pass rush which will keep QB Alexander on the move. Without a opportunity to get into their passing rythm, Hawaii will have problems putting points on the board. (Read full Article Here)

More and more people today are starting to make sporting betting their home business. Assisted by a sport-betting advisor,  they are able to enjoy consistent profits.  Sport betting advisors, also known as “sport services,” are professional sport handicappers who work fulltime doing the research and analysis, then provide their clients with recommended plays from the current day’s sports schedules.

Sport betting advisors are in essence filling the same type of capacity as a stock consultant or broker with the exception that stock brokers actually handle your money and make your investments for you. Many people, who are into playing the stock market, find themselves in the same situation as the sport bettor: not having the time or the knowledge to do the necessary work to make an intelligent decision. Just like the stock consultant, the sport betting advisor charges a weekly, monthly or annual fee for their professional services.
Sports betting has been likened to playing the stock market, while handicappers have been compared to stock brokers. You don’t want to dabble on Wall Street without a financial analyst, just like you don’t want to stroll the Vegas Strip or hit offshore books without a good sports advisor.

If you’re a regular football bettor, I am sure you have experienced the frustration of watching what you thought to be a winning ticket go into the trash because of a one or two point loss to the spread. Getting the edge on the bookmaker and racking up the win many times can mean finding that 1 or 2 point advantage. Astute handicappers and sport bettors are constantly “shopping the line” on a game they have an interest in betting, looking for that ½ point that could swing a loser into a winner. One way to find that “edge” is knowing what the “real” home field advantage is for a given game matchup. Bookmakers will arbitrarily assign a 3 point line advantage to the home team in the NFL and 4 points to the home team in college matchups.

No, were not talking about a Clint Eastwood movie here, were talking about the industry of sport betting services. Sport betting advisors have been around for a very long time. In the early days they were known as “tout services” or “sport services”. The big question has always been, are they a necessary evil or just a group of scam artists preying on the addiction or greed of sport bettors? Answer: True and True. Most serious sport bettors whose bottom line is building their bank accounts, have to rely on a sport betting advisor to maintain a consistent profit season after season. The time requirements of successfully handicapping a daily sporting schedule is for the most part the biggest obstacle for sport bettors to do their own selections. It takes a dedicated fulltime effort to be a winning handicapper. Sport betting advisors are as important to the sport bettor as a stock broker is to the stock player. Without the knowledge and time to analyze the daily schedule, the average sport bettor or stock player would have little chance of being successful over any extended period of time.
