| Five Superstars from the 2009-2010 College Basketball Season |
| Mar 7, 2010 |
Note: John Wall was excluded from this list because like Oklahoma's Blake Griffin last year he's clearly the premier player in college basketball. It goes without saying that he's a must-watch player as the top prospect the 2010 draft has to offer. Evan Turner (Ohio State) There are a lot of players who hurt their draft stock by opting to pass on the 2009 draft, but Evan Turne ... read more |
| TOP TEN WAYS TO LOSE BETTING SPORTS |
| Jan 12, 2010 |
Sports bettors don’t go broke because they can’t pick winners, and they don’t go broke because of vigorish… they go broke because they use bad money management. I’ve listed below the top ten tested, guaranteed, sure-fire ways to lose. Follow one or more of these ten rules and you will positively lose betting sports. These aren’t the only ways to be a loser… there are plenty of others. ... read more |
| NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE |
| Dec 27, 2009 |
A little over a third of the NBA season is over. Here is a rundown of the Conference leaders, as of today. NBA Atlantic - BOSTON With so many NBA franchises currently consumed with clearing out cap space in order to make a mad dash toward the summer of 2010 free-agent pool, the Celtics are the seemingly rare team that is focused solely on the here-and-now… Boston, with th ... read more |
| ODDS HISTORY |
| Nov 11, 2009 |
The concept of the pointspread began over a half century ago and really raised the interest in sports betting. It leveled the playing field; the pointspread became the equalizer. In the 1970s, Bob Martin of the Union Plaza Race and Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas was the most respected oddsmaker in the gaming industry. A lot of oddsmaking tools used today are credited to Martin. Odd ... read more |
| NBA HANDICAPPING INSIGHTS |
| Oct 27, 2009 |
Bob will not be offering NBA selections until the third week of the season (Tuesday, November 10), because the teams will be starting to show some form by then. In Pro Basketball, winning and losing are often not the final criteria in judging a team. When one team plays better in defeat, than another does in winning, you can gain real value by seeing through the misleading results. W ... read more |
| WHO ARE THEY? |
| Sep 10, 2009 |
Each football season a group of mysterious gentleman leap into the sports spotlight with steam and other nonsense. The speculating public, which is essentially composed of followers, clings to every word they speak, complying and following their every lead. You know the fellows. They are referred to with reverential phrases as: "Who are THEY taking?" or "Who do THEY like?" No matter h ... read more |
| HANDICAPPING COLLEGE FOOTBALL |
| Sep 2, 2009 |
The first step each season is to take a painstaking look at the previous season. We focus on all the factors that contributed to a team’s success or failure. There has to be a cause for every effect. We break down the strengths of each team. We study the reasons that might explain why it had the kind of season it did. Team morale and unity, season turning points, the caliber of opposition, how ... read more |
| THE BEST BET EVER |
| Aug 3, 2009 |
I experienced the best bet ever around 1970 for a few years… other than a fixed game. I don’t think any game was ever fixed that I played on and never asked. It wouldn’t be an accomplishment or any fun. Living a mile north of Wrigley Field (Cub’s Park) was a big advantage. There were no computers, cellphones or 24-hour off-shore stores… only flags and the right weather report. ... read more |

| We all know the NBA playoffs and finals are a whole new season, but there are a few characteristics and statistics that will remain. On the other side, what jumps out is the lower scoring. Its only natural in a playoff situation, a team will slow it down, be more methodical and emphasize defense. Here are some generalities that apply to all NBA games.

In Pro Basketball, winning and losing are often not the final criteria in judging a team. When one team plays better in defeat, than another does in winning, you can gain real value by seeing through the misleading results. When handicapping Pro Basketball, some fundamentals and considerations are not just the venue. Remember the worst team can beat the best team on any given day. There is more ... read more |
| KEY NFL POINTSPREADS..By Bob Wingerter |
| Jan 4, 2009 |
Since football is scored in increments of 3, 7, 6, 8 and 2 points - in that order of regularity - certain pointspreads are much more important than others. For example, a ½-point difference in a bookmaker’s posted pointspread from 3 is much more significant than a ½-point variance from a pointspread of five. This is because football games are very likely to end with 3 points as a margin of vict ... read more |
| Bob Wingerter.. Shares a Few Hoops Thoughts |
| Oct 28, 2008 |
When comparing basketball to football, the first thing we notice is that the ball is round and its behavior is a lot easier to control. Basketball playing surfaces are different from football fields. In basketball, the floor is smooth, compared to grass and artificial surfaces of various textures. Also, in some cases, there are weather fluctuations in football. Basketball is played indoors and ... read more |
| MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHING,UMPIRES AND TOTALS..By Bob Wingerter |
| Oct 3, 2008 |
Baseball begins and ends with pitching. Because of the number of games and the length of the season, the sport lures as many investors as the others. The structure of odds… no point spread… and the nature of the game however, with the disproportionate emphasis on pitching, baseball must be treated in a different way. The role the pitcher plays has been assessed at anywhere between 70 an ... read more |

| BRETT FAVRE AND CONDITIONING..By Bob Wingerter |
| Aug 8, 2008 |
The Green Packers grew tired of Brett Favre's retiring and unretiring. Inspite of fan and media pressure I believe conditioning played a major role in their decision to trade him. Before the 2007 season, Favre worked with Ken Croner of the Athlete's Performance Institute, Tempe, Arizona, which reportedly cost the Packers $5000.00 a week. This is one of the main reasons that he had such a good y ... read more |
| THE CHANGING ASPECTS OF LINES AND ODDS..By Bob Wingerter |
| Jul 11, 2008 |
Betting lines are hardly ever exactly accurate. A small percentage of sports contests end up on the number as the line predicts. Oddsmakers and bookmakers say this discrepancy is not that important since the betting public is no more accurate than they are. This offsets any advantage one way or the other. Probably the most important consideration, is betting lines are not stable, but ... read more |

| BASKETBALL INJURIES AND MONEY MATTERS..By Bob Wingerter |
| May 8, 2008 |
Since there are fewer men involved in basketball when compared to the injury-prone football, its easier to assess values to injuries in relation to the game. Points can be added or subtracted from the pointspread with much more accuracy than football (other than if the QB or a star player might be injured), because basketball lines are posted much later and the injury information is not always ... read more |
| EXCERPTS AND BASIC HANDICAPPING RULES..By Bob Wingerter |
| Apr 25, 2008 |
Here are are a few excerpts and basic handicapping rules from SPORTS INSIGHT. There are a lot of useless statistics, trivial information, speculation and opinions out there that are contained in the line anyway. The betting line is made to create two-way action and they do a very good job, but public perception is also considered. This opens up holes and opportunities and Rob ... read more |
