They are coming to Kansas City, and yours truly, who owned this conference again this year with over 60% winners for the 8th straight season will be at every game in Kansas City in person with a pass for this tourney! After dominating the MO Valley tourney and conference in the past 2 weeks, I turn my attention to this tourney, WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE IS PLAYING FOR SECO ...  read more

The Big 12 is shaping up to be Kansas, and basically everyone else folks. The Jayhawks have been tested on the road and survived a scare at Colorado, beat K State on the road in a big game, dominated Texas on Big Monday this past week, and manhandled their hated rival MIzzou. The depth of Kansas is an issue for any team who plays them, and Aldrige in the paint is a machine ...  read more

The Big 12 has more than just Texas and Kansas this year. There are 8 teams in this conference that have 5 losses or less, 2 of them have only 1 loss, and 3 teams are ranked in the Top 10. As a matter of fact, the home teams combined headed into last weekend from the Big 12 were 104-4 SU at home. The Home Court in the Big 12 is as strong as any conference in the land, as evi ...  read more

Wow, what a BAD weekend for the Big 12 North powers Nebraska, who fell at home to Texas Tech, laying 11 points (Your Forum and podcast free play here last week), Kansas falling to hapless Colorado on the road, and Missouri getting smacked at Okie State, blowing it in the fourth qurater again, just like they did against Nebraska the previous week. Impressive was Kansas State d ...  read more

There has been enough football under our belt in this conference to weigh out my power ratings. I use these as overlays against the spread. Much like many novice cappers do with the Sargin ratings in USA Today against the Las Vegas Line. It is not broken down by division but is an overall ranking based on offense, defense, special teams, turnover ratios, and a few other int ...  read more

Last week we learned more about the Big 12, and as each season rolls along, teams develop chemistry, stories emerge, and sleeping giants awake while others fall by the wayside. OU nation took a deep breath as QB Bradfords replacement set a school record and tied a national record with 6 TDs. Landry Jones is a bright spot for the future for OU, only a redshirt freshman, Bi ...  read more

My first Big 12 report of the season, and I look forward to posting weekly recaps and updates from my specialty conference.

Missouri was down 20-6 late in the third quarter at home ...  read more

Penneant races are heating up, and teams are bringing their A game every night, as well as some teams that are not so good and out of the playoff races, not throwing in the towel yet either This is also the time of year that opportunity knocks for sharp players to make large profits on MLB wagering, as oddsmakers are slower to react to changes in MLB with the king o ...  read more

The AFC West is clearly dominated by 1 team this year, the San Deigo Chargers are a clear cut favorite to win the division. Last year this division winner only had to play .500 ball, 8-8 to reach the playoffs, and there is no doubt that Oakland, Denver or Kansas City will provide little resistance in terms of challenging 8 wins to match last years Chargers title, or the divis ...  read more

The balance has shifted in the North from the old days of Nebraska and then everyone else, to the rise of Kansas State in late 90's and then a myriad of teams rising and falling like Colorado. The power the past few years has centered on the border war between Missouri and Kansas, both of whom were consistent in the top 10 the past couple of years, with Mizzou having hug ...  read more

The NFL continues to show its 2 emotions, greed and more greed once again.

Each year I write something that pertains to this subject. Let me preface by saying that baseball is my least favorite spectator sport as a fan of the game, straight up or with action on it. I am a huge College Football fan, being from Nebraska I have no choice, as well as NFL, NCAA Hoops (what’s better than March madness, really?) as well as the NBA. Year in and year out ...  read more

Every now and then I notice things that just make me wonder...here is a quote from Fox Sports.com today

The fever is at a high pitch. People who never bet, come out of the woodwork to wager on the March madness offerings, NIT and NCAA. Deep down inside, everyone is an action junkie to some extent. Whether it is playing blackjack, online poker, or whatever your flavor, March Madness is a unique high for many people. Guys take vacation days from work, some make the holy trip ...  read more

What a Super Bowl it was this past weekend. As I cashed in my Top Premium Play on the Cards, taking me to 15-3 ATS in Super Bowl Sides in my now 18 year career as a capper, I was more caught up in the game than I usually am, since all my emotion is usually point spread based, and not “fan” based. That is the nature of the beast in sports capping, you rarely just get to enj ...  read more

Plaxico Buress was not the only person to shoot himself in the leg this weekend, as Missouri shot themselves on national television with a surprising loss to Kansas as a 14+ point favorite, while Oklahoma scored 61 points on the 11th ranked team in the nation, jumped Texas in BCS ratings. Now Oklahoma has a date with either Florida or Alabama in a national title game after ...  read more

If there was any doubt that Texas Tech was a one hit wonder against Texas the week before, those doubts were silenced is a behind the woodshed beating of Oklahoma State on national TV Saturday Night as QB Harrell threw 6 Td passes and the Red Raiders rolled a very good Okie State team (as I predicted in this blog last week). With a week off to prepare for the Big 12 South Sh ...  read more

ANOTHER Sweep in my Big 12 Selections last week, 2-0 in my report and we unloaded on Oklahoma State +12 for my game of the week, who had a chance to win one down in Austin Texas last Saturday but fell 4 points short. There should be no disappointment in Stillwater this this week, the Cowboys played punch for punch with Texas in front of the largest crowd ever in the state of ...  read more

If there was any doubts who the best team in the Big 12 is to this point, those doubts were silenced in a Texas style ass kicking of Mizzou Saturday Night. That was one of my free play winners last week in my report for you, the other was Nebraska who covered big. Take it from me, I have seen Mizzou play twice in person this season, and they are a talented and explosive tea ...  read more

I had recently wrote an article ranting about the recent arrests of John Lefebvre and Steve Lawrence, both of Canada, who were taken into custody as owners of Netteller and jailed.

The two men have pleaded "Not Guilty" to various charge ...  read more

As I observe the goings on in the NBA as close as anyone for my profession, it has become very apparent that the Western Conference of the NBA in general is heads and shoulders above the Eastern Conference again this year.

One thing is for sure, MANY teams were more deserving of a BCS Bowl bid other than the Irish in 2006. Money is a motivating factor in anything in life, and the BCS Bowl committee proved that beyond any doubt when letting Notre Dame in this pool of teams netting out 13 million dollars for these games. Yes Notre Dame is a national team., like it or not, and they draw huge ratings on TV national ...  read more

The season has wound down, and my specialty conference, the Big 12 crowned a champion at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, as I was present to witness my beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers fall in defeat to their old nemesis rival, Oklahoma. A bittersweet loss since I laid the 3 1/2 points with OU and won my final regular season game in the Big 12, as my weekly featured Big 12 games went 11-4 ATS th ...  read more

When you wager everyday, lets say for instance Basketball and Baseball, you can literally find 4 different lines at 4 different books at any point and time, Side and Total both in the NBA and NCAA Hoops.

As we gear up for the NCAA Hoops season, it is always a good time for some free advice from a 15 year veteran of handicapping, when it comes to College Hoops action.

Another week has passed and another MONSTER upset in the Big 12 last week as Kansas State downed Texas in Manhattan in a shocker. It was also a week that saw many teams of stature go down, but Texas blew any chance of winning back to back titles, and set up Nebraska for a repeat in Kansas City in the Big 12 Championship with some hope in December. Iowa State proved just how bad they were agai ...  read more

Forget the rankings, forget Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreet, and Lou Holtz. Forget the inflated lines and handicapper hype of blowouts, (Although I had one on Saturday), marquee games and marquee teams are a bad bet folks.

A BIG weekend this weekend in the Big 12, as some of the dust settled last week in the Big 12 North, as Nebraska destroyed Missouri in Lincoln, and needs 1 more win to play in Kansas City Dec. 2 against either Texas or Texas AM. Interesting because Nebraska travels to College Station this week in what should be one of the better games of the weekend in College football. Dan McCarney resig ...  read more

It came abundantly clear last Saturday that the luster for the Big 12 North title was going to lose it's sheen when Oklahoma went into Columbia Missouri and pounded the Tigers 26-10, in somewhat of a shocker in my book. About and hour later Nebraska was jumping out to 16-0 lead in Stillwater Oklahoma, until the QB Bobby Reid and company ran and threw all over Nebraska like a JUCO team in a c ...  read more

Last week saw some fireworks in the Big 12, namely, Texas escaping Lincoln Nebraska with a 2 point win, due to the Huskers inability to hang on to the ball, in a snowy day in HUskerland. This was no doubt a preview of the Big 12 Championship, December 2, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Nebraska proved 1 thing, they are back on the radar scope as a team who can play with the big boys, l ...  read more

The Big 12 overall picture has become clearer after last week. While cashing my monster Top Play ticket on Nebraska -9.5 in a dismantling of Kansas State, holding them to no TD's in that game, the rest of the conference was busy setting the pecking order in terms of North and South. A preview of the potential Big 12 Championship, to be played at Arrowhead Stadium Dec 2, in Kansas City shoul ...  read more

So we all thought the Monday Night domination of Atlanta in week 3 was a fluke win, against a good team, who the Saints defense rendered useless, including all world Mike Vick, was purely based on emotion and motivation.
