The top sports handicapping site in America, OffshoreInsiders.com has announced Cash for Clunkers program for sports bettors who purchased a lemon from inferior sports betting services.

“There are about 650 sports touts, handicappers, and sports services out there. Only 40-50 or so turn a profit per season and less than a dozen will for an entire year, all sports combined” explains OffshoreInsiders.com CEO Joe Duffy, America‘s only Grandmaster sports handicapper.

He continues, “We are going to allow the disenfranchised bettor to get cream-of-the-crop selections without having to invest anymore money.”

It’s pretty simple. Gamblers will trade in their login information from their sports service and in return get MasterLockLine or Stevie Vincent picks for the same duration or until Aug. 31, whichever comes first.

“It’s win, win for everyone but the sportsbooks,” explains Senior Handicapper Stevie Vincent. Gamblers turn losing plays into winning plays and we know once bettors see our product, we will develop a mutually profitable relationship for years to come,” says Vincent matter-of-factly.

To trade their clunker handicapper for their choice of world class services, the MasterLockLine or Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360, gamblers simply follow these steps:

Email info@offshoreinsiders.com with your login information to your clunker handicapper

·        Specify whether which sports service MasterLockLine or Stevie Vincent it is being cashed in for

Often within minutes, receive login info for elite service Restrictions:

·        Vincent or MasterLockLine password will last until “cashed in” password stays active or Aug. 31, whichever comes first

There is no catch whatsoever. No credit card or payment information is needed. OffshoreInsiders.com is confident enough “Cash for Clunkers” beneficiaries will happily renew at the end of their subscription.

The MLB baseball trading deadline saw some deals, but Roy Halladay was not one of them.

The biggest move is the Padres sending Jake Peavy to the White Sox for four pitchers Aaron Poreda, Clayton Richard, Dexter Carter, and Adam Russell.

The Boston Red Sox got All-Star catcher Victor Martinez for young pitchers Justin Masterson, Nick Hagadone, and Bryan Price. The Tribe starting emptying the talent when they traded ace Cliff Lee to Philadelphia.

Detroit got pitcher Jarrod Washburn for young pitchers Luke French and Mauricia Robles. Minnesota got Orlando Cabrera from the Oakland A’s for minor league SS Tyler Ladendorf.

In other sports news there is going to be a UFC press conference to announce “a lot of crazy things.”  See the UFC 101 fight lines.

NFL betting is the last thing on St. Louis fans’ minds—wouldn’t you block out the memory of the Rams if you were them? — but they have a good baseball team to watch right now. Their Cardinals host the resurgent Houston Astros in a crucial NL Central matchup this weekend. Who will win Saturday’s game—not to mention the pitcher’s duel between Philly and San Fran?

Houston Astros @ St. Louis Cardinals
Saturday, August 1, 7:10 p.m. ET
Wandy Rodriguez (10-6, 2.65) vs Chris Carpenter (9-3, 2.19)

Saturday’s Astros/Cardinals tilt gives you an opportunity to make a highly “educated guess,” as it features two veteran starters who have faced the opposing team—a divisional rival—many times. Wandy Rodriguez has been a machine since the All-Star break and, really, all season long. However, while he was 4-0 with a 0.75 ERA July, he now enters his worst career month (6-9, 5.37 in August). He should hang tough against the Cardinals regardless, as he has a 3.38 ERA at Busch Stadium. He faces world-beater Chris Carpenter, who’s 5-1 with a 1.76 ERA at home this season. Carpenter is also 5-3 with four complete games and two shutouts all-time against the Astros, so you should probably bet on the Cards.

Daily sports pick: Cardinals

Philadelphia Phillies @ San Francisco Giants
Saturday, August 1, 9:05 p.m. ET
Joe Blanton (7-4, 4.11) vs Tim Lincecum (11-3, 2.30)

Joe Blanton is portly – not quite in the realm of Charlie Weis in college football betting, but close—yet he’s getting it done on the mound lately. He’s still serving up homers like crazy but went 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA in July. He’ll have to pitch around new Giant Ryan Garko, who has three homers and a 1.509 OPS in just 14 at bats against him, but he’s pitching well enough that he should keep the Frisco bats in check.

Cy Young candidate Tim Lincecum takes the hill for the Gaints, fresh off his 15-strikeout performance against Pittsburgh. In theory, it’s bad betting management to go against Lincecum, but there’s upset value here. Lincecum’s career ERA against the Phillies is north of 4.00 and he’s allowed a handful of homers against them—something he doesn’t do very often. Ryan Howard may get to him, as he’s already taken him deep twice in nine at-bats. Lincecum is obviously an amazing pitcher, but even the best have the odd speed bump, and no team is better equipped to get to him than the Phillies.

Daily sports pick: Phillies

Tiger Woods remains the favorite in the revised odds to win the 2009 Buick Open. However, in danger to miss the cut in his first tournament since his Turnberry disaster, Woods is a not-so-prohibitive 7-2.  Jim Furyk and John Senden are next.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

There is one game on the Canadian Football League schedule for Friday, with British Columbia at Hamilton. The Tigers-Cats upset the Lions back in Week 2, pulling out a 31-28 road victory as a 13-point underdog. Heading into the Week 5 matchup Hamilton is 2-2 straight-up and 3-1 against-the-spread, while B.C. has disappointed at 1-3 SU and 1-3 ATS. For Friday night’s contest the oddsmakers have the Lions listed as 2-point road favorites, with the total for the game at 50.5.

Finally, there is a single WNBA game on tap for Friday, as Detroit hosts Minnesota. The Shock last played on July 22, when they were edged 98-95 by Atlanta; that put Detroit at 5-9 SU and 5-9 ATS on the season. The Lynx fell 76-70 to Los Angeles in their last contest, which dropped them to 10-8 both SU and ATS on the season. Roneeka Hodges tossed in 14 points for the Lynx in that loss.
