Citing Sites to Make Your Football Picks Out of Sight

Joe Duffy (JoeDuffy.net)

We love the Information Age when it comes to sports
betting. We have added some new sources to add to our arsenal.  Frankly, biases aside you should bump my blog JoeDuffy.net to the top of
your list of best free information this football season.

In a recent article we focused on Steve
Presson
, full time Palm Beach
luxury real estate agent and part time NFL guru.  Steve told us about far and away his favorite
website for pro football information www.profootballtalk.com.

Our only caveat is that Steve isn’t only looking at it
from a handicapping standpoint, but from a fantasy football (in which we’ve
said many times overlaps with sports gambling) as well as being just a great
source of all gossip that is pro football.

So far, we agree it’s great for offseason information and
we are optimistic it will be a goldmine for the timely preseason poop of great
use for the sports investor during the games that don’t count in the standings,
but sure do in the back pocket.

While we have no shortage of resources for the skinny
during the regular season, we are always open-minded about an upgrade or better
streamlined source.  We will be keeping a
close eye on Pro Football Talk.

Many of you have followed me since my JD of the ACC
scorephone “Tailgate Party” reports on game day. For the first time in 15
years, I won’t be giving that great information via recorded message.  Instead we are moving all the free gambling data
to JoeDuffy.net.  Best of all, the same price applies: FREE.

Stevie Vincent, of KnockoutPicks.com
was the original Executive Editor of the Tailgate Party and will supply computer
trends.  Best of all, we’ve worked out a
deal with AllianceHandicapping.com
the online betting syndicate.  They will
supply their pool of bettors who will be assigned to monitor pre-game shows via
satellite, internet and traditional radio for real-time information on key
players who are “game time decisions”.  Then
via AIM, they will transmit the same info and I will post it within seconds to JoeDuffy.net .

This is in addition to the Godspicks.com news and notes, live weather
radar, injuries and more you got on the scorephones for 15 years.

For fantasy football information that is a must for your prop
bets, two sites still stand above the rest, ProFantasySports.com and Rotowire.com.  Actually this is true in all sports, not just
football as far as the marriage of sports betting and sports fantasy.

Scorephone.com
remains a great source for much of our favorite syndicated content such as the SportsNetwork write-ups and Sports
Databases match-ups. 

Finally we hope the best sports talk show host from a
gambler’s standpoint, Rick Ballou, formally of Sportingnews Radio lands on a
radio station we can listen to on the internet. 
SNRN was forced to let all their top talent go in a cost cutting
measure, but nobody has a better handle on college football than Rick.

Speaking of top sports stations being available on the
internet, we raved in a recent
article
about New York’s WFAN
finally being heard on the World Wide Web. 
Another great talk show host from a gambling standpoint is Philadelphia’s
Jody McDonald who can now be heard on Sportstalk950.com.  Keep in mind, the City of Brotherly
Love
is a pro sports town and it’s the pros that Jody
gives his best insight for your investing pleasure.

God’s Tid-Bets, Vol. 23

Joe Duffy (JoeDuffy.net)

This is the latest in a series of a Godgepodge of sports
betting strategy and other sports handicapping and gaming issues.

Follow Up on When to Specify Pitchers

Stevie Vincent of KnockoutPicks.com
is generally accepted as the top baseball handicapper in the world when it
comes to handicapping pitchers. He’s clearly established himself as the
foremost authority on baseball totals plays. 

Because he’s the most respected voice in the “pitching and
defense is 80 percent of the game” crowd, it should come as no surprise that he
says gamblers should always specify pitchers when placing a bet.  In fact, he continued that it’s doubly true
with over/under plays. “When betting a total, anyone who does not specify
starting pitchers shouldn’t be gambling.”

With his unprecedented over/under record, who are we to
argue?

Is Nothing Sacred?

I’m all for the fact that people can bet on just about
anything.  If only our own government
realized this unalienable right. However, now sportsbooks allow anyone to bet
on the number of hurricanes to hit Florida
this summer or if certain terrorist leaders will be captured.

There just seems to be something intrinsically wrong with
someone rooting for more killer hurricanes or that a terrorist mastermind stays
on the loose, just to win a $100 bet.

By no means would I suggest such bad taste would ever be
the difference between the United States
finally legalizing online sportsbooks, but often one has to win the hearts and
minds of the public and the elected officials. 
Sportsbooks that carry such inelegant proposition plays aren’t helping
matters any.

But Nothing Unsacred

There are few people more universally respected in the
industry than Buzz Daly (www.buzzdaly.com),
the veteran industry writer. Ironically enough, Buzz asked the same “is nothing
sacred” question regarding the practice of sports gaming posting boards paying
top posters to move to their site.

First of all, I had no idea of such practice, but I can’t
say I see a darn thing wrong with it. My philosophy at Godspicks.com has always
been to put most of my time, effort and money into the product. 

Other handicappers spend more money on marketing, but I believe
in worrying about the product first and foremost.  Bravo to posting boards that do the same. Is
paying people to stimulate interest with quality posts any more sacrilegious
than paying an SEO guy to have you ranked ahead of the competition at Google?
How about upgrading software to make a posting board look better?

I’ll take substance over style any day and if bells and
whistles are worth paying for, why isn’t quality content?

Now if we can only convince some posting boards to pay
people not to post.

The Importance of Handicapping Backup QBs

Steve Presson is a very successful entrepreneur who now sells luxury real estate for Corcoran Group, a high end realtor in Palm Beach, Florida.  Steve pays minimal attention to any sport but one: pro football.  A fantasy football guru, Steve is approaching legendary status in NFL “Last Man Standing” or “Survivor” pools.

They go by some other names, but essentially participants pick one game a week and if they lose, they are out.  The winners advance until there is one man (or women) standing.

The reason Steve doesn’t bet on football more often or play higher stakes is that his keep-it-simple philosophy only presents limited opportunities, perhaps 10-15 times per year. His strategy?  It’s going against second string, incompetent quarterbacks.

Our only minor disagreement is that we believe successful teams are built around quality skilled position players with quarterbacks topping the list, but Presson believes the oddsmakers can’t compensate enough when an injury forces a significant downgrade behind the center.

I heard an NFL General Manager once say the most important player on a team is the starting quarterback and the second most important is the backup QB.

Look no further than Steelers’ Super Bowl winning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s recent brush with stupidity and death.  Literally every qualified opinion I’ve heard is that Pittsburgh is on firm legal grounds if they voided his humongous contract, which would free up plenty of money for non-quarterback additions.

Yet also unanimous is that every NFL talking head agrees as long as an eventual full recovery is likely, there is zero chance of Pittsburgh voiding his contract.

This is because while Mike Lupica and his cohorts can ramble on about the Steelers’ great defense but clearly Pittsburgh management realizes their defense performed best where all defenses pick up their best stats—on the sidelines.  And nobody is more responsible for that than Roethlisberger. The handicapping ramifications behind the indisputable fact are enormous.

Ironically Roethlisberger is a rare exception to another rule of thumb Steve has.  However, arguably he was the first notable one since a young Dan Marino. “Another trend is to look at young quarterbacks making one of their first 10 starts and preferably against a tough defensive team.  Rookie QBs don’t win and they should be taken advantage of.”

For every Marino and Roethlisberger aberration, there’s an Elway, Aikman, Manning (insert your choice of first names), Palmer and many, many others proving that theory extremely reliable in beating the NFL betting odds.

Nobody uses the Information Age in sports handicapping better than I do.  But as Steve and I were discussing strategy over 2-for-1 beer at Pete Rose’s sports bar in Boynton Beach, Florida, I was reminded of something I can’t be reminded of enough.  It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then, winning sports betting comes down to keeping it simple.

Most enlightened conversations happen over beer and in my never ending quest to acquire further knowledge, I’ll be handicapping back-up quarterbacks more than ever in my football betting.

Oh and luckily I’ll be getting Steve’s survivor pool picks.
