Give Me Some Relief! Baseball Bad Beats
by YouWinNOW.com - 7/1/2009 12:18 PM
Give Me Some Relief!
Last week Cubs closer Kevin Gregg served up a two-run, walk-off home run to pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn in a 5-4 loss to Detroit. Lou Piniella''s answers were brief: "Look, one-run leads on the road," he said. "Not the easiest thing in the world." The Cubs started 3-10 in one-run games on the road. Unreliable relief pitching can prevent hot streaks and sap a team''s... |

Bad beats: Defining tough luck and poor plays
by WinningBlock.com - 2/10/2009 4:10 AM
David Payne writes for Ben Burns.
Bad beats not only damage bankrolls, but they also can take a heavy toll on a gambler's confidence.
That's why it's important to analyze but not be overly critical of your decision when a meaningless layup costs you a cover; or when a game stays way under the total through the first overtime, but goes over in the second OT.

Arizona Cardinals -6.5 -110
Reason:
I was completely on the wrong side of Arizona on Sunday as the snow storm in New England made the Cardinals look like a JV high school football team. The good news is that the Cardinals are back home in the desert... |
Bowl Preview Part II--Games thru Dec. 31st!!!
by YouWinNOW.com - 12/27/2008 4:09 PM
Dec. 27th Meineke Car Care Bowl West Va. vs. UNC
This should be a very competitive game as both teams have pretty solid units on both sides of the ball. Special Teams could be huge in this one and with Brandon Tate out for the year I'll give the special teams edge to West Virginia. Pat White has had a great career at WVU and his bowl performances have been very good. This West Virginia team has... |
Late night NBA-TV special
by Mike Neri Sports - 12/26/2008 6:07 PM
"1 UNIT" NBA PERCENTAGE TOTAL (Celtics at Warriors OVER 211' in a 10:35 eastern tipoff broadcast on NBA-TV): As predicted yesterday on the premium service, Boston played way below the total against the Lakers in the highly anticipated NBA Finals rematch. I mentioned in the analysis that the Lakers in the offseason had worked hard improving their defensive effciency and it certainly showed yest... |

Actual PREMIUM late night special!! Blazers -4'
by YouWinNOW.com - 12/25/2008 4:04 PM
The following is an actual PREMIUM service wager:
"2 UNIT" LATE NIGHT PERCENTAGE WAGER (Blazers -4' at home versus Mavericks in a 10:35 eastern tipoff on TNT): It is certainly a high percentage wager to invest on Portland at HOME where they have won 10 of 12 opportunties so far (28-13 one year ago at the Rose Garden). My database research indicates that the Blazers long term are 16-5 ATS/HOME... |
2008 College Bowl Preview All Games thru Dec. 26th!!
by YouWinNOW.com - 12/23/2008 2:17 PM
Dec. 23rd Poinsettia Bowl TCU vs. Boise St.
This game along with the Oklahoma St/Oregon bowl game are the two most intriguing matchups before New Year's Day. TCU hurt me when they gave up that late TD to Utah, but I really like this team. There offense is better than people think although their kicker killed them when they should have won the Mountain West conference. Boise St. had a great ye... |

New Orleans Saints at Detroit Lions Pick
by Mike Neri Sports - 12/21/2008 9:58 AM
Detroit has obviously yet to win this season but prior to that game against Tennessee, it was playing pretty well at least as far as a winless team can play. It started against Minnesota in a two-point loss and ended with a blown 17-0 lead against Tampa Bay. In between those games were losses by seven, eight, four and nine points and it was feasible any one of those games could have been won. It t... |
Special Night in Dallas Cowboys Football
by Sportsbook Advisor - 12/20/2008 2:19 PM
The Dallas Cowboys have yet to secure a playoff position and will play their third straight contest against a fully-loaded defensive team, built to stop any offense. But as we have seen in recent weeks, this Dallas defense is the equal of any in the NFL and will have a great deal to say about the last regular season game ever to by played by the Cowboys in Texas Stadium. If Dallas (9-5, 7-7 ATS)... |
Early Bowl Blunder - NCAA Football Bowl Pick
by YouWinNOW.com - 12/19/2008 5:50 PM
They say momentum can be a good thing. That's not always true when it comes to handicapping college bowl games. Take a look at the following technical situation:
Since 1980, in bowl games played on New Year's Eve or earlier, non-revenging neutral favorites are a dismal 45-71 ATS provided they won their last game by 10 points or more and tackle an opponent that is NOT undefeated. The knee-jer... |
77-PERCENT SYSTEM Free Pick!
by Mike Neri Sports - 12/18/2008 5:21 PM
"1 UNIT" COLLEGE BASKETBALL SYSTEM (Florida Atlantic +1' at Troy State in a 8:05 eastern tipoff): Florida Atlantic certainly knows how to hire veteran head coaches, as Howard Schnellenberger in the past couple of years has revived the Owls football program which has suddenly become a postseason regular. The basketball team during the offseason hired Mike Jarvis who most recently left St. Johns... |
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tennessee Titans Betting Odds
by Sportsbook Advisor - 12/18/2008 3:04 PM
Does it get any better than this? Gambling911.com says "probably not".
These are two of the best teams in the NFL right now along with the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers. In the AFC, there really are no comparisons, however.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tennessee Titans betting odds opened at Titans -1. Since that time, the line has moved in favor of the Steelers to -2 though some online... |
