  2. Which Sports Do You Make Picks For?

    We currently pick MLB, NBA, NFL, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball and NHL games. We are trying to also get a handicapper on board for popular European sports, and will hopefully be handicapping soccer, cricket and rugby games in the near future!

  3. The lines at the sports books aren't the same as the lines that are posted with your picks. Why?

    The line that we post with each pick is the line that is available at the time we release that pick to you. This is the only fair way to do it, as it would not be fair if we changed our pick every time a better line became available.

    If you want to get the same lines as we use, we recommend you play our picks as soon as we release them. However, some people choose to wait and see if the lines will move in their favor. Line movement strategy is up to you.

  4. What's the Difference Between +1 unit and +$100?

    Nothing. Many sites use $100 instead of 1 unit because it's a nice, easy, round number that represents a reasonably sized bet.

  5. You Lost Money Yesterday. Why Should I Sign Up?

    Well, chances are that we didn't lose money yesterday, but in case we did... Our single goal is to make money in the long run. Some days we will win a game by a half point and other days we will lose a game by a half point. Some days we will go 10-1 and others we might go 2-6. Streaks are inevitable in sports betting. It is how you ride those streaks that determines your success. We WILL NOT make a profit every single day, but we will make a long term profit.

  6. Some of Your Picks Don't Have a Spread. Why?

    There are three kinds of picks that we will post on our site. Here is an example of each.

    1. Point Spread: Texas -6.5 -110 vs Oklahoma
      If a line looks like this, the team to the left of the line is our pick, the team to the right is their opponent, the first number is the spread and the second number is the payout rate.
    2. Total (Over/Under): Oklahoma at Texas OVER 146.5 -110
      If a line looks like this, it means that we are predicting that this game will have a combined score greater than 146.5. The second number is the payout rate.
    3. Moneyline: Texas -287 vs Oklahoma
      If a line looks like this, it simply means that we are taking the team to the left of the line "straight up", so there is no spread involved. The outright winner of the game is the winner of the bet. The line displayed shows the payout rate.

  7. I'm a Problem Gambler. Will your service help me?

    Absolutely not. If you don't know how to keep a cool head and control your gambling, then we have no interest in your business. Although we will probably grow your bankroll in the short run, if you aren't practicing proper money management skills then you will inevitably go bankrupt.

    If you have a problem, check out The National Council on Problem Gambling.

  8. What Time Do You Release Your Picks?

    Our NBA,NHL, NCAA Basketball and MLB picks are released between 8:00AM and 2:00PM EST on the day of the game. Football (College and NFL) picks are usually released a day or more before the game.

  9. Why Does It Sometimes Seem That Most Of Your Picks Are From One Sport?

    Basically it comes down to time. While simulating games with software takes an irrelevant amount of time, we handicap them by hand as well to ensure that we don't release any picks that are not up to our standard. Because of this, we handicap our best sports first and then go back and do the second best, etc when we are done. For example, because College ball tends to be so much more predictable (and profitable) than the NBA, we dedicate our time to CB first, and then go back to NBA if we have time.

  10. Can I Have the Picks Sent to My E-mail Address or Cell Phone?

    As of February 2010, YES! Contact us after you have subscribed and we'll set it up for you.

    Our email goes out every day at 2PM EST. This is because we guarantee that all of our picks will be released by this time. On days where there are games going off before 2PM, please visit the site.

  11. What Happened to Game Analysis?
  12. Game Analysis, our one of a kind baseball handicapping tool, is based strictly on statistics. Because of this, it can struggle in the last few weeks of the season, as some teams are fighting for a playoff spot and others have already planned their vacations. It will be back in April of 2010!
