Greg Dempson, Sport Handicapper vs. the Picks Salesmen!
What are the majority of handicappers doing right now in the "dog days" of summer? Worrying about the NBA finals and MLB is what they are doing. Cappers that sell picks at numerous web sites do so for one reason, to make money. And guess what? The majority of these pick salesmen don't wager on their own selections. Why, you might ask? Well, they would be broke if they did. They aren't good enough at handicapping match-ups so they opt instead to play games with their tiered clubs to entice purchasing consumers. One of the easiest ways to promote "success" (and I say success with tongue in cheek,) is to hustle/sell picks as "Club options."
Let's Get Real.
If you have enough pick selling clubs, one of them is going to go on a hot streak and that's the club those cappers will promote.
If you are not certain what these "Club" selections are, let me indulge you and I will use the NBA as an example. For starters, the NBA is a lot like MLB as each league has a lot of games and it is NFL Sunday almost every night of the week.
So a pick salesmen might feature the following:
NBA non conference game of the week, month and year.
NBA conference game of the week, month and year.
NBA "total" (Over/Under) game of the week, month and year.
NBA "first half" game of the year.
The last one makes me laugh the hardest, no it is not the first half line in the game but since the NBA season is a long one, just before the All Star break, many of these pick salesmen offer up yet one more way to get you to part with you dollars at $40.00 or more a selection.
Some of the other grouping used are, "Inside-Info game, Bailout game of the month and year, 10 star, 25 star and so on and so forth, you name it, they'll try and sell it to you.
So what are you going to do this football season? Well, there are no guarantees when wagering but if you are interested in a reputable football service e-mail Greg at gdsports@shaw.ca or contact him toll free at 1-877-717-7577.
BIG Value in Week One NFL Lines by Greg Dempson.
There are four week one games that have never played over the total since the NFL league parity took effect back in 1993. In 2008 during week one there was only one contest that fit this system and the game stayed under by double-digits. The week one record of this system is a perfect 24 - 0 = 100% when betting on the under.
As a matter of fact this system has stayed under the total in week one 88% of the time dating back to the late 1970's. The margin of "under" victories is more than 10 points (on average) per game since 1978.
Is Wagering on Multi NFL Week One Games Risky by Greg Dempson
I've been wagering on NFL football for more than 30 years and I'm a firm believer that a play is a play is a play. It is quite conceivable that I might make as many as 10 week one NFL wagers. If it is a game that qualifies as a wagering selection I will place said bet.
The key to staying in the game is money management, so if you have a large grouping of wagers, you might have to limit or reduce the amount of bet size per wager. The key is to stay in the game. The bottom line is simply this, if a game "fits" your check list, play on said contest
Lions @ Saints, week one with an O/U of 48.5.
So, you have a team that went 0 - 16 last season vs. a New Orleans team that played horrible defense but were great on offense and also featured a Saints team that had numerous injuries. The line is exactly where I predicted it would be, - 11.5 and some books have posted - 12. So, the Saints number is well away from the key numbers of - 10 and - 13 and - 14. The total at 48.5 raises some questions as it is week one. Last season the Lions allowed a league high 517 points on defense or 32.3 points per game while scoring 268 on offense for an average of 16.75 PPG. The Lions were slightly better on offense when away scoring on average slightly less than 19 PPG. As for the Saints, they were number one on offense with 463 points for an average of 28.9 PPG while allowing 393, (26th on defense out of 32 teams.)
In week two the Saints travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles and then play on the road in week three at Buffalo. As for the Lions, they aren't looking ahead to anything, all Detroit wants is a win as they became the first team in league history to go winless during a 16 game schedule.
Last year in week 16 the Saints crushed the Lions 42 - 07 in Detroit and the game played over the total.
