NFL Picks – Monday Night Football: Miami Dolphins at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFL PIcks Week Ten: Monday Night Football – Miami Dolphins at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Public money is balanced on a day with no hockey plays. Vegas appears to be content with trapping the public in other games and this is a good ol’ fashioned borefest between two bad teams on Monday Night Football.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have underachieved, but nearly defeated the Seattle Seahawks last week. If that’s any indication of what they’re capable of, the Miami Dolphins could be in trouble in Tampa tonight. I happen to be of the opinion that last week was a fluke.

Z-Code agrees. The spread at -1 seems inconsequential and the parameters are in agreement. Despite the Dolphins being on the road, Z=Code gives them a 63% chance to win and 3.5 stars of value. There is a 61% chance they cover the spread. Public money is relatively even, and the only reason for concern, as far as the algorithm goes, is that  ... 

NFL Picks Week Ten: Jacksonville Jaguars Vs Tennessee Titans

NFL Picks Week Ten: Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans

It’s hard to disagree with the computer on this one. For those that follow the VIP Club and it’s Baromir Parlay Selection strategy, this is a perfect fit.

The Jags have been horrible this year and the Titans have been delightfully consistent. This appears like an excellent time for a money line parlay. But – looking at this game – who didn’t think that. So, we look a little deeper for some spread value.

This is a divisional rivalry, so there’s a chance the familiarity between the teams keeps this one  ... 

NHL Picks 11/9: Chicago Blackhawks at Dallas Stars

NHL Picks 11/9: Chicago Blackhawks at Dallas Stars

This is a dangerous game and I understand the computer output here, but I respectfully disagree. The Dallas Stars are playing very good hockey, but I don’t think they’re as good as they’ve been playing. Challenge accepted!

Z-Code sees +122 as having five-star value with 44% odds for victory. For me that’s a slightly conflicting parameter and a strange signal. Z-Code is certainly on the Stars, but not with full confidence. The odds of victory favor the Blackhawks.

For me, the Blackhawks are the better team. The only reason I have hesitation  ...

NFL Picks: Thursday Night Football – Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings

NFL Picks and Predictions Week Ten: Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings, Thursday Night Football

The Washington Redskins had a goal-line stand last week that could come to define their season.  After a Danny Woodhead touchdown seemed to seal a crushing defeat, the play was reviewed and the Chargers had the ball on the half yard line.  The Redskins held the Chargers out of the endzone, forcing a field goal that led to overtime.  Washington would win the game after it felt like a ten point lead and possibly the season had slipped away.

The Minnesota Vikings aren’t playing for much.  ... 

NHL Picks Contest Standings Update: Round One

We had 17 winners in the first round of our $100 dollar contest. Remember, this is a long competition (10 wins) and even second place gets a prize. Keep at it if it didn’t start how you wanted. We had 41 comments, not all of which were game picks, and 17 winners. It was a nearly perfect coin flip game. Those who picked the Flyers were robbed.

Simply comment on our Facebook post for the contest with who you think will win the game to be eligible. Here is my game preview.

Can we pick ’em or what? When we singled this one out I thought it would be a tough game to pick but I didn’t think it would be this tough. It’s a coin flip game according to the algorithm. Both sides of the line are equally valuable according to the value parameter. Las Vegas says both teams are  ... 

Featured interview with legendary Dexter

1. hi Dexter.  You’ve been very successful on sports investing. Please tell us

more about your story.

The first time I came upon sports gambling was my Freshman year in High school.

A friend of mine introduced me to sports gambling slips. The very first parlay I played won five hundred dollars. This was a dream for a kid that lived in one of the most crime infested neighborhoods. The passion of playing Baseball, Football and Basketball growing up only enhanced the urge to dominate sports gambling. After High school I actually stepped back from sports gambling. It was  ... 

NHL Picks Contest: Free $100 Facebook Hockey Contest

NHL Picks: Start of Our Free $100 Contest, Round One

— Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes, Tuesday Nov. 5th

The Carolina Hurricanes have been a perfect representation of mediocrity since their Stanley Cup win, but goaltending injuries have them really struggling. The Flyers are in some sort of a half-hearted rebuild effort. A slow start has them at the bottom of one of the weakest divisions in hockey. In a battle of mediocrity, who will win?

Post your money line winner on our Facebook page to be eligible for our free $100 contest.   Second place will get $50. First to ten wins takes the prize.

NFL Picks Week Nine: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins, Thursday Night Football

NFL Picks Week Nine: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins

I never thought the Dolphins were all that good. I bet them for under on total wins, Ive bet against them for profit all year. I don’t think the Dolphins at 2.5 will cover.

The Bengals have a good team. Great defense, good running game, excellent deep threat passing game. Balance should be the key here. Cincy has an edge as long as they can play their game in this one, which will be tough on the road but I expect them to get it done.

NHL Picks 10/30: Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames

NHL Picks 10/30: Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames

The Leafs have started the year at a good pace. Even without top free-agent signing David Clarkson, Toronto has been scoring. Their 44 goals lead the East, and they’ve climbed to the top of their division.

Balancing their attack, the goaltending tandem they’ve established has led them to a +14 goal differential. If only Brian Burke could see this team now.

The Calgary Flames have fallen off dramatically. They’ve lost two of three and four of their last six. Back home, they are playing considerably better. They’re also very well rested.  ...

WEEK 6 NFL Grand Cash Championship – RESULTS

Great week! Every team scored and we had second highest result with goals scored in a week in contest history. Both conferences scored 349 goals. Very interesting scenario in west this time. Mustangs need only 2 point to win conference and behind them there is huge battle for playoffs spot.

Expos 7 : 11 Quad Aces

Ouch! That is painfull scenario for Expos. They were leading before last game, but lost because Seahawks didn’t cover for Dexter (f.white42). This way both teams went with wins and 2 lost, but Aces took better odds and won by 4. Well played by  ... 

NHL Picks: Free $100 Facebook Contest Announced

NHL Picks: Free $100 Contest Announced!

Our highly successful MLB Facebook contest came down to the wire, requiring a tiebreaker round that continued all the way to an incredibly exciting Game Four of the World Series. Now that we’ve finished with our baseball contest, it’s time to announce another round of our free contests, the 2013 NHL edition.

As with our baseball contest, we’ll be posting a featured game just about every week. Simply comment on that game, which will usually be a challenging game to predict, with who you think will win. This is a moneyline only competition. The first contestant to correctly predict the outcome of ten specially selected games will win the $100 prize. You do not need to be a VIP member to participate (though it does seem to help – our winners through the years are very often members)!

Keep your eyes peeled for Facebook posts designated for the competition. We’ll have our first post later  ...
