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 (Read full Article Here)

Baseball is not generally thought of as an offensive or defensive game, at least the terms are not commonly used. Pitching and hitting are the more common terms when relating to offense or defense in baseball. The defense in baseball is made up of the starting pitching, the bullpen, the unearned runs allowed and the overall fielding prowess of the nine men on the field. There are dozens of stats that are present in handicapping baseball, but the bottom line is that only one stat is the determining factor which decides whether you cash your ticket or deposit it in a trash can…That is “runs scored”..! Batting Avg, on base percentage, steals, etc all add up to the final stat which is scoring runs..However, the team with the highest batting avg or men on base percentage is not going to cash your ticket unless they put runs on the board. There is little doubt that (Read full Article Here)

After breaking out of our little (well not so little) slump, we have put together back to back winning POD’s with our win last night on Minnesota…I am putting this play out rather early as I anticipate a line move here…It seems very low for this game.

After being swept in the 3 game series with St. Louis, thus giving up their lead in the division, the Reds have bounced back with 5 straight wins putting up 31 runs (6.2 average) in that stretch, and that was without leading homer hitter, slugger Votto who should be back in the lineup tonight. They are 44-21 versus teams with a losing record and 15-5 the 2nd half of the season. They are 12-4 in August.

After a stretch where the Diamonbacks won 6 of 7 games, they have since come back to reality and their normal play by dropping 5 of (Read full Article Here)

In my opinion, and it is just my opinion, but I believe that playing the underdog on the runline is one of the worst bets in all sports. Obviously there are some who will disagree with me, but if you asked an opinion of 100 handicappers on any issue related to sport betting, you may get 100 different opinions.

My thoughts are, that if you play the dog on the runline getting +1.5 runs, 90% of the time you have to (Read full Article Here)
