Sacramone and De Rossi Play Second Fiddle

Bunny Shop Summer Sale

The lovely Alicia Sacramone continues to prove wrong the old adage “you can’t win for losing.” The U.S. gymnast continues to be the craze of the Internet and male lovelorn alike (Olympic Betting Odds). Personally my middle-aged self still loves Atlanta weather goddess Dagmar Midcap, but I digress.

For those who get more excited about Ellen Degeneres wedding to Portia De Rossi (celebrity betting odds), we are all-inclusive.

Miss Sacramone not only falls short of being the hottest entity in sports right now, but several sports handicappers are hotter because of actually winning. I guess you could say the Michael Phelps of handicappers are at OffshoreInsiders.com where sports bettors keep the streaming faith.   

First let’s start out with power of 620 sports services behind every selection, the MasterLockLine. Today’s menu includes:

Mark the Shark, the top handicapper west of the Mississippi hits 60-65 % of his Game/Total of the Month or higher plays.  He is without question the top Pac 10 and Mountain West tipster in America. He’s been offered nearly seven figures per year to join a famed Las Vegas sports handicapping marketing giant, but has spurned offers because they demanded marketing concessions that would negatively affect his modules. Saturday his Underdog NFL Exhibition Game of the Year hit for a record breaking 10th straight year.  You know it’s legit because you got it right here and got the last six on the MasterLockLine. Now his NFL Exhibition Game of the Year, a play he has hit 13-of-15 years. It’s on the Lions/Bengals

Sports service out of Midwest is the No. 1 all-time CFB service in units won. Their highest rated plays are Executive Plays, yet they are having one of the great preseasons ever. They are 9-0 overall, 4-0 with Executive plays including the Minnesota Vikings yesterday. Executive Play on Patriots/Buccaneers

They are 5-2 in NFLX so far! Kongpop Sukhibomrong, head of the famed Pan-Asian Syndicate which dominated Asian and European soccer for years has now taken over the North American sports scene. His group has now merged with Danny Ying of SuperLockLine fame. Pop’s syndicate is the most requested source of winners in the history of the SuperLockLine and MasterLockLine.  Today get the biggest total of the weekend in any sport and it goes in the NFL but that’s not it because he has the top MLB over/under

No. 1 MLB handicapper service for 2008 has you up more 65.4 units, one unit per play, thanks to their famed Prime Plays. They went 3-0 here yesterday. You know it’s legit because you got EVERY ONE OF THEM. Colorado, St. Louis and Toronto yesterday. Get 4 Prime Plays for Sunday

Leo Getz is the premier Big East handicapper in football and basketball as well as the top A-10 hoop analyst. But he’s the No. 4 all-time of all sports handicappers based on units won and going back to the 976-LOCK scorephone days of the early 80s! American League Game of the Year

Again, all the above tipsters are one click away for merely $16 for all of them at the MasterLockLine. Click now to purchase

However, perhaps even hotter is Stevie Vincent. He has the form of Sacramone and the record of Phelps and the force of Hurricane Fay. He’s a stunning 52-16 with Level 5 plays and has Level 5 plays in pro baseball plus on the Patriots-Buccaneers side and total.

GodsTips, it’s like clockwork. Most of the world’s professional gamblers are clients of the football specialists. Already 13-6 this year in football (quite typical), they are 13-6 this year with NFL plays, which is a notch below our usual. Get ready for yet another NFL burial on the Patriots-Bucs side. Alert: MLB just added, four sides including a Wise Guy Dandy Dog.

Dandy dogs are moneyline dogs of 140 or more (includes runline getting back 140 or more). Click now to purchase GodsTips card.
