I have been betting on sports for over 30 years, so there is a high level of experience that you will get from following me. I wear many hats as I am an accomplished Chef, I have a degree in acting, I own a farm and a PR company but my biggest love is sports betting. There is no better feeling than spending a Sunday afternoon at a sportsbook and then cashing my winning tickets at the end of the day.
Handicapping sports has always been a passion for me. I love looking at all the numbers and breaking down the games in that fashion. Much of the betting public will listen to all the noise and biased opinions on the sports talk shows and that will influence their betting. I have learned to block out all of that noise and just focus on the statistical data. That is the bulk of my handicapping. I don’t always go by the history of the two teams that are facing each other, because each year is different and things do change. I only care about the here-and-now stats.
The sports I cover are mostly the NFL, USFL, College Football, Horse Racing, and Hockey. I will provide many side and totals plays but I like doing Multiple team teasers most. You can add a lot of points to whichever side you want to bet without losing an enormous amount of value in winning the bet.
I am one of the very few people who can honestly say he paid for his honeymoon by betting on football. There have been times that I have debated picks on Mad Dog Radio with Scott Wetzel and other hosts, plus I pay the same company that tracks the NASA Space Station to do private numbers analysis on the NFL that is just for me. I can info that few are privy to and that sets me above everyone else.
I will also watch plenty of film to aid me in my handicapping as sometimes the stats don’t tell the whole story. In my career, I have connected on over 62% of my NFL plays during the regular season and over 70% of my plays during the postseason. Last note, I will never tell you to place a bet that I wouldn’t place myself.
