PITTSBURGH - The Panthers got ...  read more

Motivational and scheduling factors are the biggest key when it comes to handicapping college football. Here is a list of teams coming off big games as well as teams that may have look ahead spots.

At the start of the season, people think that this is the year they will finally do well, so they proceed to read every article they can and try to accumulate as much knowledge as possible.

One of the tools that most bettors don’t use to prepare for the NFL regular season is the season over/under win totals for each NFL team. However, these “rankings” let the betting public know what the oddsmakers think about each team in relation to the rest of the league. It’s essentially an inside glimpse into the best ranking available to the public without doing the work yourself. These “po ...  read more

First and foremost before I continue with this article, note that the title says the two most important sports handicapping keys, not sports betting keys. Sports betting and sports handicapping are two different topics. A person can be a very good sports bettor without being a good sports handicapper and vice versa. With that being said, if you follow and understand these two keys, then you wil ...  read more

For the last few years baseball has been a sport that has been the most difficult for me to handicap. I have been able to make a profit almost every season in both pro and college football and basketball, but baseball has caused me to toss the remote at the television more than I usually. However, there is a reason why you should read this article. I have learned from my mistakes over the last ...  read more

Here are my MLB thoughts and leans for Thursday April 22nd. In the Detroit/Anaheim game, I really have no lean on the side. I think the game will be close and will come down to which starting pitcher plays better or which bullpen comes through. Verlander and Saunders are both quality pitchers who are in about the same current form. Both line-ups are hitting about the same as well. I could s ...  read more

I really wanted to find an excuse to take Texas +192 at the NY Yankees today, but I just couldn't bet against Sabathia. C.C. pitched great in his last game and almost threw a no-hitter. Texas doesn't have much experience against him, and they don't hit lefties as well. Plus they are a little banged up. However, the Yanks haven't faced young lefty C.J. Wilson, who looked great in his first star ...  read more

Knowing several of the small stories is critical to having success in the first week of college football. Also, these keys may prevent potential pitfalls that a bettor otherwise may not know about. Let’s take a look at some of the recent news stories that may have an impact on a team you are looking to back/fade in the next few weeks.

The average football fan and bettor doesn’t pay attention to the preseason, as they feel that these so-called meaningless games have no bearing on the outcome of regular season games. However, they are dead wrong, as there are things to be taken from most preseason games. Here are some quick pieces of information that I have noticed up through Saturday August 22nd. DALLAS COWBOYS – Their f ...  read more

The internet is flooded with articles about why you should bet on the NFL preseason and how to do it successfully. Most of them state the same generic stuff like look at the quarterback rotations of each team, bet on first year head coaches, and take the under in the first week of the preseason. However, blindly following all of those ideas last year would have left you with a winning percentag ...  read more

The biggest sports radio topic this morning was the Minnesota Timberwolves drafting three point guards in the 1st round. Minnesota’s general manager, David Kahn, got dragged through the mud by various sports media outlets, specifically for taking Spain’s Ricky Rubio and Syracuse’s Johnny Flynn with back-to-back picks, as they traded away Ty Lawson, the 18th pick, to Denver. However, does Kahn a ...  read more

This series is a very interesting match-up between two teams that have brought questionable efforts at times in the playoffs. They played each other twice this season, once in December and once in January. Orlando won both games, one at Los Angeles, and one at home. However, Jameer Nelson was a very key contributor in both games, so his absence could hurt the Magic’s chances. There are rumors ...  read more

First and foremost, this article should be read for entertainment purposes and shouldn’t be used to determine which teams to make for your 10 billion star, game of the year bets. As I pondered which teams will cover the spread, I started to notice that several of these teams resemble people in society. Let’s take a look at which teams represent people that you and me run into every day. LOS AN ...  read more

Villanova, North Carolina, Michigan State, and Connecticut all experienced ups and downs throughout the season on their way to Detroit. Let’s take a look at their past performances to see if there is anything that may help in handicapping these final games. North Carolina started the season as the #1 team in the country, bu ...  read more

I’m a big believer in looking at the past in order to predict the future, so I decided to take a look at last year’s 1st round games. One surprising trend was that favorites went 21-10 against the spread and #1 and #2 seeds were 5-3 against the spread as well. One game had a spread with a pick ‘em spread, which is why there are only 31 games being looked at here. My theory is that the betting ...  read more
