Ever wondered how Vegas always becomes richer and richer and gambling public is losing more and more?
The secret to win is to bet WITH vegas against the public, instead of trying to go with what most people are doing.

NHL Picks Contest Round Six ($100 Prize): New Jersey Devils at Columbus Blue Jackets 12/10
Two mediocre teams do battle in Columbus on Tuesday. Unimpressive as these two have been, I think it’s the most difficult game to predict in a full day of hockey.
The Devils are anchored in their excellent goaltending, but the offense has really struggled without Ilya Kovalchuk. They’re streaky, but right now they’re very cold.
Columbus nearly made the playoffs last season on the strength of their goaltending, but injuries have hurt them offensively. This should be a grind. I don’t see where the goals will come from.
Who ya got? Simply comment on our Facebook contest post with who you think will win. In round six, our leader still only has three wins.
NHL Picks and Predictions: New Jersey Devils at New York Rangers
This might be my favorite rivalry in hockey. Even though the Devils are exhausted and slumping, I expect a battle.
I don’t think the New York Rangers are that good. They’ve got one of the best defensive top pairings in hockey, and their goaltender, who just inked a massive contract, is definitely one of the best in hockey. Still, over the past few years, the Rangers haven’t had much success against the Devils. From “Henrique, it’s over!” to bad bounces off the stanchions of the Prudential Center, or even ...
NFL Picks: Thursday Night Football – Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars
I like the Houston Texans lately. They’ve been playing inspired under their hometown hero quarterback, but find a way to lose each week. As such, it’s hard to trust them with big money – especially on the road in a short week.
This is a dangerous game for sure. Are the Texans playing for draft picks or pride?
The only really surprising win the Jaguars have had on their little hot streak was against the Titans, and that game was riddled with mistakes by Tennessee. I think the Jags ...
NHL Picks Contest Standings Update (Round Five): Kings Ducks
I was a little disappointed this round, folks. Not only did we have one of our worst predictive performances of the year, but we also didn’t have much of a turnout. It’s certainly anyone’s game – as evidenced by the fact that nobody really moved around much in the standings this round. WE ONLY HAD SEVEN CORRECT GUESSES IN ROUND FIVE and our leaders failed to pad their leads.
The Anaheim Ducks blew it late, but they really didn’t deserve that one either. It was certainly an exciting game.
Here is what we’ve got after five rounds… and again, please keep participating! This gets a lot more fun for me when we have a larger pool to watch! We’ll have a contest post for every Tuesday until someone reaches 10 wins. $100 to the winner, $50 to second place:
3 Wins:

NHL Picks Competition Round Five: LA Kings at Anaheim Ducks
The LA Kings are an excellent defensive team, but they’ve struggled offensively and remain maddeningly inconsistent. They can steal a win from anyone, but they can also lose to just about anyone as well. Without Quick, they’re a tough team to trust.
In our contest pick, the Kings play the second game in a back to back against a slumping Ducks team. Things simply haven’t clicked for Anaheim in the last few weeks, and most of it has been on the offensive end.
I expect a battle, which is why we’ve ...
NFL Picks: New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks, Monday Night Football
The New Orleans Saints offense is a well-oiled machine right now. Drew Brees is spreading the ball around, he’s protected, they’re balanced. The real story here is the New Orleans defense, though, and Rob Ryan’s successful development of one of the worst units in football history. The Saints now have a serviceable defense. Look out.
This week’s game in Seattle against the Seahawks is tremendously important. Seattle is not the same team on the road, and in the dome New Orleans would have a big edge in a potential ...
NFL Picks: New York Giants at Washington Redskins, Sunday Night Football
The New York Giants have truly turned their season around. They face a Washington Redskins team that a few weeks ago many would have considered an obviously superior team. In the past few weeks, however, the Skins have collapsed. Looking to continue our success from Thanksgiving, we have a tough pick on national television tonight for Sunday Night Football.
I think momentum has no role in evaluating this game. Yes, the Redskins are certainly on a slide and the Giants have been incredibly hot. However, in a rivalry of this ...
Geoffrey just recorded amazing “Zcode Fast Start Video 1”: Secrets to Success in Sports Investing. + Meaning of life.
No matter if you are new and just starting out or already doing sports investing successfully, I am sure you will LOVE this video.
Fun, short, up to the point ,really good content.
Epic explosion down the stretch and the Devils came through in a game they had to have and a game we had them winning. Now you look at this line and you have to wonder.
First of all, I doubt z-code has this one right. Schneider went last night and with both goalies performing fairly well right now I highly doubt they run him out for two in a row. Then again, Schneider looked great and might be in line for two in a row if Deboer is feeling aggressive. I don’t think goaltending plays into this one though… not ...
NHL Picks Contest Game, Round Five: Los Angeles Kings at Anaheim Ducks, Tuesday 12/3
The LA Kings have one of the league’s best and most consistent defenses, anchored by one of the best goalies in hockey. When they’re on, the Ducks have one of the most explosive offenses in hockey. They don’t allow goals too easily either. This is a battle between two elite NHL teams in the west.
Who ya got? Simply comment on our Facebook page to participate. The contest is still young, and anyone can enter. A three-game lead is far from insurmountable.
NFL Picks: Thanksgiving Football – Cowboys Raiders, Lions Packers, Steelers Ravens
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. It’s a great American tradition of turkey, family, and FOOTBALL. We’ve got three games, and as a holiday treat I’m going to give you guys all my plays AND the Z-Code prediction for each game.
My biggest play tomorrow is a three-team, seven-point teaser on all three games. The lines have moved sharply, and I like the Dallas Cowboys -1/2, the Detroit Lions PK, and the Baltimore Ravens +4.5 paying out +150. Should be fun.
Individually, I’m on all three home teams as well.
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions -7
I was all over this one when it was still at -6 yesterday. My advice is to buy the point. A teaser with the over looks good as well. The Detroit Lions have a decent pass rush and should keep pressure on Matt Flynn, who doesn’t have enough skill to run a balanced offense and keep ...
NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Fourth Round Standings Update
Happy Thanksgiving, hockey fans. In a tight fourth round of our NHL Picks $100 Contest, we saw our only undefeated member fall. The competition got a whole lot tighter, as most of our contestants are a game back, and the whole pool has a chance to win this thing.
The Anaheim Ducks had control and a 2-1 lead in the third period when the home team erupted to steal this one. Quick, consecutive goals gave the Stars the lead, and the Ducks never recovered. It was a wild one in Dallas. Here are our results:
3 Wins:
Elias Anderson
Michal Janochowski ...
NHL Picks Contest Game Round Four: Anaheim Ducks at Dallas Stars
Participation is a little down this week. Only one player has three wins, you can certainly still join now and win. If you’ve been playing along, keep going!
I think I’ve done it again here, guys. This game is as unpredictable as any we’ve chosen so far.
Looks like a total toss up to me. Ducks have finally figured it out and are winning… Stars have lost two in a row, but to very good teams and they’re home here. Line is a total toss up. Z-Code has this ...
NFL Picks: Sunday Night Football, Peyton Manning Vs Tom Brady – Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
There’s a lot of really fun story lines here. Wes Welker returns to New England, Peyton Manning Vs Tom Brady, Broncos Patriots on national television.
I think the battle of Tom Brady Vs Peyton Manning is total nonsense. You have to remember the swiss cheese defenses that Peyton Manning had on his side with the Indianapolis Colts. To deliver a Super Bowl to that garbage team was far more impressive than anything Tom Brady has ever done. If Manning had any semblance of ...
