Proline TV Show Jim Feist on Life Support?

It looks like the sportsbooks
are not the only ones falling prey to the enormously successful professional
football handicappers at

Rumor is rampant that the Jim Feist Proline TV show could
soon be on the brink of extinction as they struggle to make budget.

It’s no secret that the company has lost

previous two quarters
fighting an uphill battle losing clients to superior
href=”http://www.offshoreinsiders.com/”>sports handicapping
dynasties.

According to industry expert Brian Kayma
of CasinoBettingNews.com, “Feist built an empire by being the first and biggest
on cable television. Wayne Allyn Root tried to
duplicate but made the blunder of hiring washed up athletes and middling
coaches to lend their name.

Steve Budin, Brandon Lang, and
Al DeMarco have tried a similar model on regional
sports networks. Jonathan Stone, Jeff Allen, and a list of
suspects purchase expensive radio infomercial time. Johnny Bono is buying “

” calling lists. None of the above can

with the unprecedented winning of Stevie Vincent,
Joe Duffy, Mike Godsey, and

,” concludes

.

Boasts OffshoreInsiders.com CEO Joe Duffy, “We have a
simple, five-point business model:

1. Get the best handicappers and let the product sell itself.
2. Get the best handicappers and let the product sell itself.
3. Get the best handicappers and let the product sell itself.
4. Get the best handicappers and let the product sell itself.
5. Get the best handicappers and let the product sell itself.”

Duffy says that he has been an employee, General Manager,
and CEO in the industry spreading over a quarter century.

If a client purchases at least seven-days (minimum enough
to sample a product), the industry average is that 7-to-12 percent will still
be a client in two years. At
style=’color:windowtext’>OffshoreInsiders.com
that number is a
mind-boggling 79-to-92 percent.

“Over the last four years, 90 percent of my clients were burned by higher
profile handicappers, but they become a client of BetOnSports360.com and never
look back,” says Stevie Vincent founder of forensic sports handicapping.

Why do clients keep coming back and back to
OffshoreInsiders.com, the advisors to 95 percent of professional sports
bettors? Says Duffy, “Sports bettors are essentially getting a Mercedes Benz
for less than they paid for a Yugo. The decision is
easy” when it comes to getting winning football
picks
. The strategy of building a website around the best sports picks is
working.

Wayne Allyn Root

We have to give Wayne Allyn Root
credit. While Kelso Sturgeon and Jim Hurley have peppered all the preseason
publications that take NFL
handicappers
, Steve Budin and Al DeMarco’s group have the online video market, Jim Feist
cable TV, Docssports the link buying market, Brandon
Lang the guerilla marketing king, but Wayne Root everything else.

Just about every gambler I know got his huge sports mailing
touting his site with the Sports Network content.

OffshoreInsiders.com
is the site with the win-more-than-anyone-else marketplace domination. Led by
the originator of the PERFECT PLAY Stevie Vincent and Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy, it is
the shop for all professional gamblers.

Sports Advisors

SportsAdvisors actually traces
their roots back to the original free telephone scoreboards, then known as SportsLine. However, the founder, known as “Big Red” did
not have the foresight to copyright the name. When SportsLine.com did as such,
they sent a cease-and-desist order to sports betting pioneer “Big Red” to stop
using the SportsLine brand. The score lines went to
the more generic “free scoreboard” moniker.

The early days featured such up-and-comers Mark Lawrence,
Mel Stewart, former NFL head coach and NFL Hall-of-Fame inductee Hank Stram, and legendary broadcaster Ray Scott. It has also
been a major stepping stone for such accomplished sports handicappers as Joe Duffy’s
Amazing Cadillac Club (JD of the ACC), theRealAnimal,
Jonathan Mardukas, Chris Jordan and his doppelganger
Oscar Dooley, the Lock Line and SuperLockLine, which begat MasterLockLine.com

Other handicappers who purchased advertising time, though
are not alumni, include included Brandon Lane
(Brandon Link), Sean Michaels the
Sports Broker, and Mike Anthony (the Million Dollar Man), and Jeff Allen.

Much like Vegas Insider,
the scorephone during its SportsLine days consisted
only of the most reputable handicappers. The Tailgate
Party
for years was a must-call for every serious gambler as Joe Duffy,
Stevie Vincent and Chris Jordan gave gamblers the ATS edge with timely free sports betting information.

When “Big Red” sold the enterprise to television tout Stu Feiner the scorephones slowly
but surely took a turn into the hard-sell and began mimicking the Johnny DeMarco and Jack Price audiotext sports phone.

Literally every top handicapper left for the
Freescoreboard toll-free scorephone. Feiner
eventually sold to Steve Budin, son of one of the
early offshore sportsbook owners. Budin free spending
has help rebuild the Sports Advisors group around a patchwork assembly of
handicappers.

Hoping to learn from frequent missteps, Feiner has re-entered the scorephone arena led by
journeyman tout Chuck Franklin and several upstarts.
