Final Four Preview 2011

It is a great weekend for sports fans with the Final Four and the culmination of the college basketball season next Monday in Houston for the national championship. It is clear that it is not the teams the start the season hot, but the ones that get hot when it really matters — March and April! Many things happen over the course of a long season. Some teams play great basketball in December and January, only to break down from injuries or run out of steam down the stretch. Villanova is a good... 

Sports Handicapping Tips: Public Teams

So who is Joe Public? Of course, Joe Public is everybody not connected with the professional sports betting field. Joe Public is the average bettor, the guy who just HAS to bet on the Super Bowl or the ESPN Wednesday night college basketball broadcast because he needs action on the game he’s watching. All right, fine. But following that model won’t turn you a profit over the long haul in sports betting, which – to me – is the whole purpose. I don’t put money in the stock market “just... 

March Madness Bracket Tips: Motivation

While watching all the tournament games this week, does anything stand out? How about all the upsets? As usual, upsets and surprises dominated the highlights. George Mason did it again, a team that went to the Final Four in 2006; VCU not only beat Georgetown but blasted them, 74-56, and Louisville going down on opening night. Upsets happen a lot in March and will continue. Sometimes it’s matchups, but other times it is interest and motivation. That explains the demise of Tennessee, pulling a no-show... 

NCAA Tournament Bracket Tips 2011

It’s the final stretch of a long college basketball season. There are better teams, tougher matchups, and defensive intensity. It’s a good time of the season to look backward — to look back, that is, to conference regular season tourney play and early season matches against different conferences. That’s because it can be tougher to analyze matchups during the Big Dance, with teams like Vandy and Louisville from the East heading out West to play, which happened in Round One. Even... 

March Madness Tips: Beware of the No-Name Teams

It’s that time of year again: Basketball games night and day, day and night and after a few hours of sleep, we wake up the next day and go through it all over again. College tournament play is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for sports fans and bettors, with a seemingly endless stream of action and excitement. Big name schools often end up playing for the title. Florida of the SEC took home back to back national championships by beating UCLA and Ohio State in 2006 and ’07.... 

NBA Betting: When Do NBA Home Dogs Bark the Loudest?

So, as I poured through the piles of betting trends and angles I discovered a profitable NBA Picks betting angle! Although the general public tends to lean towards the NBA picks favorites there are some spots where that could be draining to your bankroll!

2011 Philadelphia Phillies Predictions

If you weren’t sure, the Philadelphia Phillies are pretty good. Philadelphia made the most daring and surprising move of the offseason when they usurped Cliff Lee from the Rangers and Yankees. Lee has become the final piece to what is potentially one of the best starting rotations in recent baseball history and has automatically made the Phillies one of the top three favorites to win the World Series. However, if you think back over the last 10-15 years, how often does the team that made the biggest... 

March Madness Predictions: Potential Cinderellas

Every year there are teams that are surprisingly strong at the NCAA Tournament. They might not get a whole lot of attention coming in, but they are ready to play, they are talented, and they make some noise. Obviously it’s not always easy to see these Cinderella teams coming — if it were then they wouldn’t be surprises. You can make a guess about who will come through, though. Here are my March Madness predictions for four teams that look to me like they have the potential to shine: Michigan...

Odds to Win the 2011 NCAAB Championship

Hello sports fans. As you all know, we are on the brink of one of the most exciting NCAAB Tournaments ever. Over the recent weeks, we have seen several of college basketballs elite teams go down. Teams like top-rated Ohio State, Kansas, Duke, and Texas. Some good squads have been elevated to great squads like Purdue, BYU, Syracuse, and San Diego State. Some think the smart, well-prepared game of the ACC teams will prevail, some the speed of the SEC, the size of the Big 12 and Big 10, and some people...
