It’s a Sure Bet How Republicans Can Win Back Their Base
The Republican Party’s self-induced mad dash for
irrelevancy is headlined by their reckless disregard for the Golden Rule of
winning elections: first solidify the base.
The Party of Lincoln’s negligence commenced with George W.
Bush’s “compassionate conservatism”. Conservatives preach tough love, but Bush
distorted the “compassionate conservatism” redundancy into an oxymoron by
defining “compassion” using the glossary of Jimmy Carter.
With the aid of a Republican Congress, Bush benevolently
spent like a drunken Kennedy. His renunciation of conservative principals of conscientious
expenditure failed miserably not only in courting the left hell-bent on
destroying him, but disenfranchised conservatives of every ilk.
But Bush and the Republicans’ implosion was just in its
infancy.
Speaking of aliens, the President from the once
law-and-order party adopted a do-nothing course of action when it came to preventing
illegal aliens from journeying across the
If only crossing a
intersection could be done with such ease.
A new low point was achieved in the Terri Shiavo circus.
Once a “family values” party, religious insurgents demanded that the
excruciating life and death decision involving the brain-damaged comatose women
should be decided not by her next-of-kin, but by a bunch of empty suits inside
the Beltway.
While the Reaganites allowed Christian jihads to seize
occupancy of the conservative movement, the rest of the party distanced
themselves by nominating John McCain for President, the most center-left
entrant in modern Republican history.
Lagging miserably in the polls, McCain skyrocketed once he
threw a bone to traditional conservatives and chose Sarah Palin as his running
mate. While her gaffes made her easy fodder for the left-leaning “if you can’t
beat them, destroy them” media, it was centrist McCain who permitted Barack
Obama to achieve the impossible.
Liberal Barack Obama successfully courted abandoned Reagan
conservatives by convincing them that he would cut taxes for middle-class Americans
more than McCain would.
But Barney Frank has pulled the granddaddy of them all in
dismembering the disremembered conservative movement. Somehow, someway, the
unapologetic left-winger has positioned himself to the right of most
Republicans on gambling civil liberties.
Personal responsibility and creating new streams of tax
revenue was once etched-in-stone bare essentials of the Republican Party and
remains basic principles in the non-religious nutter dieing wing of
conservatism.
Fully legalizing the legitimate pastime of online gambling,
while relishing in the cash flow that would funnel into the economy, should be embraced
by the Republicans.
Yet so-called Republicans such as John Kyl and Bill Frist
have declared mutiny on traditional conservatism and hijacked it to the point
where estranged Reaganites acknowledge that Barney Frank represents their
constituency much more than the derelict traitors who deceitfully call
themselves Republicans.
Republicans are oblivious to how they alienated their base
with spendorama “compassion”, a see-no-evil approach to illegal immigration,
and allowing a left-wing presidential candidate to abduct their lower-taxes
mantra.
By voting for full legalization of
they have an opportunity to return to their pro-business, anti-government
intrusion roots. But consistent with their political death wish recent history,
Republicans have allowed a progressive Congressman from
to shanghai and pirate what should be a conservative calling card.
Ronald Reagan once said that that he didn’t leave the
Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left him. Now posthumously, the
Republican Party has done the same.
Barney Frank is now the knight in shining armor to
dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. Republican enablers have assured this
Armageddon lasts well beyond the next mid-terms.
Supporting online gambling could be the Republicans last
chance to court back conservatives. Here’s
subvert themselves further into irrelevancy.

Betting On March Madness: NCAA Tournament Myths
For the last several years we’ve touted Pete
Science as a valuable tool in Big Dance handicapping. While the science is
oriented towards forecasting the March Madness bracket pool, there are sundry
In fact, as our diverse range of regular clients have seen
us assert in our analysis—the dichotomous ATS and straight up game as an
example—handicapping is in large part the art of isolating overvalued and
undervalued teams.
The voluminous articles on Bracket Science are centered on
isolating characteristics of underachieving and overachieving teams in the NCAA
Tournament.
If there is a downside to this mechanism, the findings are
more corroborating my own experiences as a handicapper than enlightening me on
new angles. Rest assured that a large component of my success in the industry
since the 1980s is that I am quite swayable and have made many adjustments,
often debunking unfound theories of my fledgling early years.
Conversely, those who subscribe to sports betting’s
ultimate oxymoron “conventional logic” will have an epiphany upon reading the
findings with an open mind.
Possibly topping the lists of urban legends perpetuated by
hacks, talking heads, and bottom-rung handicappers alike is the pure poppycock
about betting on guard oriented teams.
As stated numerous times, a team’s strength is a commodity
and the less prevalent the commodity, the more value the resource is.
In a rare illustration in which “conventional logic” is
factually based, most baseball fans understand that possessing a shortstop
first baseball who can do the same. A power hitting middle infielder is a
scarcity—a rare commodity.
But the same gospel truth is abandoned elsewhere in
sports. For example in the NBA playoffs, it’s a statistical truism that scoring
decreases in the NBA playoffs as defensively intensity increases.
Yet “conventional logic” has Joeybagofdonuts victimized
into believing that somehow when scoring goes down defensive becomes more
paramount. False, a quick study proves that teams most adept at scoring
consistently in the half-court are beyond reproach the most victorious in
postseason NBA.
The same parallel universe applies to college basketball.
There are significantly more quality backcourts than frontcourts. Most teams
that fail to make the NCAA, flop in the first-round, or do not even quality for
the NIT are guard oriented.
Drinking the Kool-Aid, those who perpetuate the alternate
reality conclude that the preponderance of high caliber guard play and the
dearth of dominant big men makes the more prevalent guard oriented teams the
more cherished commodity. Basketball’s equivalent of the power hitting first
baseman has become more indispensable than the shortstop who can bat cleanup.
Poppycock, balderdash; it’s a pure betting urban legend.
The goal here is neither to bootleg Tiernan’s
research nor write an advertorial on his behalf, but one would be advised to
consult his work for his precise and standardized metrics for defining over and
underachieving.
His research concluded that since 1991, NCAA Tournament
teams get 52 percent of their points from guards. He also defines the last 24
years as the modern era and divides them into three eight-year periods. Of zero
surprise to us, but a revelation to countless, Tiernan
concludes, “In each eight-year period of the modern
era, the most frontcourt-dominant teams have overachieved,” and continuing,
“The most guard-dominant squads have never been overperformers
in any eight-year period of the 64-team era.” “Never” he said, no way, no how.
Using statistically overwhelming numbers to document his
conclusions he again corroborates what we’ve preached for decades, “if you look
at the average percentage of points that tourney advancers have gotten from
guards in each eight-year period of the modern era, you’ll find that deeper
advancers tend to be more frontcourt-oriented squads.”
Judge for yourself as the $20 he
charges for his research is pocket change for the bettor and we be paid back
ten-fold if utilized correctly.
Debunking the guard-play myth is just one of my
long-preached theories that have earned me the title of “Mr. March” and “Lord
of the Dance” that are validated by his 24-year study.
Because I am seamlessly converting his brainpower into
spread betting applications, the devil’s advocate could argue yours truly is
making some leaps of faith. I’d welcome counterpoints, but among the other theorems
authenticated not only by my quarter century of unprecedented winnings, but
also by Tiernan’s scholarly research are:
Straight up winning percentage is greatly
overplayed in handicapping. Scoring margin is the leading indictor
Bench play is extremely overvalued in Big Dance
handicapping. Note that the study is purely about the NCAA Tournament. We
assert that a deep bench is of great importance in the conference tournaments
but overrated in the Big Dance
Age and experience is
also overrated. “With each two-round advancement
in the tourney, teams get increasingly younger,” the study says.
The sportsbooks
thrive because “conventional logic” is too often a misnomer for “folklore” in
sports betting. Those who let facts guide their conclusions will continue to
prosper.
