THE STREAK ENDS
Three long streaks end in week 15 of this NFL season. The Packers lost, dropping their record to 13-1. The most suprising thing was that the loss was to the injury riddled Kansas City Cheifs. The Colts ended their threat of going 0-16 by beating the Tennessee Titans. Finally Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos [...]
THE PACK TO PERFECTION
Lots of news going around the NFL yesterday and today. Kansas City Head Coach Todd Haley and Miami Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano were both fired yesterday. It was no secret that Sparano was going to get fired at the end of the season, but doing it now gives the Dolphins to get a head [...]
RUNNING COLD
It almost feels like nothing can go my way lately in terms of sports betting. Normally I am solid with my NHL and NFL picks, but lately has been a different story.

Tampa Bay Bucaneers -3 (1.95)
Green Bay Packers -6.5 (2.00)
St. Louis Rams +13.5 (1.94)
New Orleans Saints -9.5 (2.08)

TIME TO BELIEVE IN TEBOW?
I haven’t really posted much on here in the past while but I’m going to make an attempt to get back to it. This time I think I will post once per week, on Tuesdays until the end of the NFL regular season. After that I may try something different. Posts will recap what I did [...]
BACK IN PLAY
After an excruciating 149-day lockout the NBA players and owners have reached a tentative deal that will enable the start of the 2011-12 NBA season. It’s hard to understand why Billionaires and Millionaires could have such a hard time dividing up millions of dollars but it happens. A cancellation of the whole season would have [...]
BETDAQ’S OPPORTUNITY
As of Monday Betfair has implemented their additions to the premium charge in which some customers will pay up to 60%. I haven’t done much comparing between Betfair and Betdaq but I did notice that there was almost twice as much money matched on Betdaq for the British Open on the weekend. Perhaps this could [...]
2011 MOCK DRAFT
My favorite sport to bet on is American Football. You can see how I did betting straight up on the NFL last season on sporting markets. I am so caught up in the NFL that I usually end up spending 10+ hours per week watching the NFL network when it is the off season. From the [...]
LONDON CALLING
Not my best trading effort this afternoon. Tomorrow is a new day, with the same two teams playing.
WHAT CAN WE TAKE FROM THE FIRST HALF?
Before my Betfair days I spent my time trying to get an advantage over Sportsbooks. At that time sports betting was a hobby, rather than a profession. I would develop systems to try to get value bets in baseball, hockey and basketball. The hours that I spent going through lines and odds has without a doubt [...]
SUPERBOWL XLV
Here we go, two weeks to talk about the biggest NFL game of the season.
Lines have opened with the Packers being the favorite, between 2 and 3 points. I suggest taking the Steelers +3 if you can get it at good odds. We are use to seeing a large spread in the Super Bowl, [...]
