Wednesday September 10th Betting Action

It was a solid day overall as I was 3-1 with my premium selections yesterday and 1-1 with my free plays, but my top play on Twins at +15- came through. It's all MLB action for me again tonight as we get ready for another weekend of football, so let's get right to tonight's selections. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with 'bet amounts' to win on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold MLB Pre All Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB Post All Star Break: 38-36 (+$2183) CFL YTD: 6-8 (-$266) NCAAF YTD: 6-3 ATS (+$656) NFL YTD: 1-3 ATS (-$515) MLB plays Chicago Cubs ML  (+153) $300 to win $459 Here come those Jays again, building up hope for their fan base that this team can actually make a late September push and get into the playoffs. Toronto has won three in a row and eight of their last 10 overall, but they've got the inconsistent Drew Hutchinson on the hill tonight looking for the sweep. Hutchinson had a decent outing against Boston his last time out, but this guy is a ticking time bomb after a few solid starts and I believe the Cubs get to him. The Jays are 1-5 SU in his last six starts against a losing team, 0-8 SU when he goes in Game 3 of a series and 2-6 SU the last eight times he's been a home favorite. He's up against a young guy in Kyle Hendricks who has a 6-1 SU record on the year and Chicago is 9-1 SU in his 10 total starts this year. The Cubs love to give Hendricks plenty of support as they've scored 5.3 runs [...]

Tuesday September 9th Betting Action

I was 2-2 with my four premium plays yesterday (Jays Under 8.5, Pitt Over 8.5, Reds ML, Marlins Under 8) and didn't provide you guys with a great free play slate either (1-2). A few blown coverages and turnovers by the Giants cost me any chance at the 'under' while the Chargers/Cardinals game played out in a similar fashion to their preseason game this year. But it's time to take a break from football and recharge the mind for this weekend's upcoming action. We've got a full baseball board available to us tonight and I've already loaded up four premium MLB plays for subscribers tonight - including two very live underdogs. There are a couple more underdogs I've been eyeing all day for you all so let's get right to the free card. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold Free Play Records MLB Pre All Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB Post All Star Break: 37-35 (+$1945) CFL YTD: 6-8 (-$266) NCAAF YTD: 6-3 ATS (+$656) NFL YTD: 1-3 ATS (-$515) MLB plays Minnesota ML (+146) $300 to win $438 Texas ML (+133) $200 to win $266 I'm grouping these two underdogs together today as both have seen significant reverse line movement with large majorities backing the better teams from Cleveland and L.A. However, L.A is in a tough spot as this is their third city in as many days after playing a make-up game in Cleveland yesterday afternoon and it's only a matter of time before all that travel catches up with them. The Angels also have their worst starter Hector Santiago on the hill and the Rangers [...]

Monday September 8th Betting Action

It was not a good start to the NFL season for me but results like that and my own personal lack of excitement/energy while watching some early games confirmed to me that I much prefer college football (betting, watching, researching) than the pros. Going forward you'll see way more CFB plays from me than NFL and although that may upset some of you, remember, you don't get extra money for having winning bets in the NFL over MLB, or CFB, or Aussie Rules football for that matter. Money plays no favorites, and a winning bet is a winning bet no matter the sport so stick to your strengths and minimize your weaknesses and your bankroll will grow. That being said, I'll still have many NFL plays for you the rest of the season and just like tonight's two free NFL plays, almost all of them will heavily based on fading the majority. In my opinion that's the only way to consistently beat the NFL as odds makers rake in hundreds of millions of dollars from bettors each NFL season from people that 'believe' they know the game, study rosters and handicap based only from what they see on the field. Those are all important factors when breaking down any specific game, but the odds makers know and have seen all that too and have incorporated that into the line. If all that has been accounted for and these sports books are still raking in the dough, what has to change for you to get similar results? Well, simply put, you take the side the sports books are "looking" for after 70$% or higher of the bets have come the other way. It worked yesterday with [...]

Sunday September 7th NFL Betting Action

It was a decent Saturday of College Football yesterday for me as my premium selections went 5-2 ATS while my free plays went 3-2 ATS after I swept the afternoon card and got swept at night. I've learned throughout my years of handicapping football that I tend to have more success and would rather put in the work for college football than the NFL as I feel the NFL lines are a lot sharper and are tougher to beat. I'd rather spend my time trying to beat the softer lines which is why you'll see me have many more college plays than NFL this season, but there are still plenty of great betting opportunities in the NFL. With that being said I've got four premium NFL plays already locked and loaded for subscribers and am giving you all these suggestions on a couple of totals. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold Free Play Records MLB Pre All Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB Post All Star Break: 37-34 (+$2245) CFL YTD: 6-8 (-$266) NCAAF YTD: 6-3 ATS (+$656) NFL Free plays Jacksonville/Philly Over 51.5 (+100) $200 to win $200 Games between AFC and NFC teams were a gold mine for over bettors as they cashed on the high side of the total at a near 70% clip. I don't think that will change in Philly today as the Eagles ultra-fast offense gets to take on one of the projected worst teams in the league. Jacksonville is on a 5-2 O/U run on the road entering the year and if Gus Bradley's team has any interest in pulling off the upset today they'll [...]

Saturday September 6th Late Betting Action

No need to write an intro or list my records with this piece as I'll take care of all the accounting with tomorrow's free play piece with so many games currently going on right now. My early preview can be found here if you are looking for those numbers, but I'm just going to get right to tonight's free plays. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold NCAAF Plays Texas -1 (-106) $318 to win $300 We've seen a huge swing in this line over the week once it was announced that Texas QB David Ash would be out as everyone starting flocking to the BYU side. Combine that loss with the fact that everyone remembers BYU running all over this Longhorns defense a year ago to the tune of 550 rushing yards and bettors are having no problem laying the points with the road team now. Yet, despite the QB change, Texas is at home this time around and that will help their young QB get settled in a hurry. Also, this Longhorns defense is a year older (and wiser) and has not forgotten about how they were demolished in this game a year ago. The entire defensive unit will be out for blood in this one after last year's embarrassment. UT held North Texas to 94 total yards last week en rout to the 38-7 win and the only score North Texas got was on a fumble recovery in the end zone. This defense was out to make a statement heading into this BYU game and they definitely impressed me with that performance. But this is the [...]
