Wednesday NBA Vegas Betting

The nation’s top NBA handicappers helped MasterLockLine sweep the board in both college football Vegas odds mastery and the NBA. What a sustained run for the power of 620 sports services behind every selection as last night’s sweep makes them 109-61 in football.

As frightening as it was to watch the freak injury of Houston WR Patrick Edwards, the professional gamblers were celebrating. And now college basketball betting is around the corner and the top handicappers know the strengths and weaknesses of Pepperdine to Penn.

Here is the big rundown of who is hot and who has the big play. We know most of you will be watching the World Series completion of Game 5 after the Barack Obama infomercial, but there is tons of cash to be earned in the NBA. Make more cash than the lawyers in the Ron Greshner and Carol Alt divorce case.

Kal Elner, a handicapper out of Reading, PA hits a consistent 65 percent when “waiving his normal star rating system”.  He is also the all-time top NBA totals capper. He’s already 1-0  in totals plays with Milwaukee over. Twice he waives the rating with totals tonight. If winners are more elusive for you than photos of Dana of Beretta, then Elner is your man.

Bill Tanner is the No. 1 college and NBA handicapper combined since 1995. Stats are out of 620 services monitored, rankings based on total net units won based on ONE unit per play. He’s from the basketball crazed state of Indiana and his Platinum Plays in hoops hit around 62 percent.  He also hits above 60 percent in college football with “Plats”.   About 10 years ago, he lapped dinosaur “Doc” as the top Big 10 handicapper in the land. Heat/Knicks side, Nets/Wizards total

Mark the Shark is the Rex84 of sports handicappers.  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.  Last night the Lakers win at his Game of the Week. Now it’s the Kings/Timberwolves his NBA Game of the Month

Hotter than Carin Ashley, Statmaven Sports is No. 1 all-time on as far as plays that have risen to the level to be re-released. Rankings trace back to the 976-LOCK scorephone days through the SuperLockLine and are all-sports combined.  In other words, their highest rated plays have proven since 1980 to be as good as any sports service. Early year false perception system that is 109-40 against the spread on Raptors/Sixers

Ranked No. 2 all-time NBA/CBB service combined, Castlegate Sports is the only sports service to be ranked Top 10 in both college and pro basketball when ROI is backtracked to 1996! Their “major” plays are at 59-plus percent in more than 1,000 documented plays. But they also have 86 Top 10 finishes in football handicapping contests. First major play of the year Hawks/Magic.

The top betting service of all time, GodsTips asks have you jumped on one of our full-season passes for basketball season yet? We nail Buffalo as our only football play this week and better yet we had them against the moneyline. That’s a nice way to start winning week 11-of-14 in football (which will be 12-of-14 in the NFL) including preseason.

GodsTips has more winners than Jason Caffey has kids. We have four NBA plays tonight including the first Wise Guy. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact.  Click now to purchase

Now to the revolutionary founder of forensic sports handicapping. As you know mastering over/under is a humongous reason why Stevie has overtaken the gambling world. He has his first pro basketball play of the season and it’s a pro basketball over/under. Get an angle better than a 90 percent proposition within the play. Click now to purchase 

In other betting, it appears Barack Obama has run away with the election. However Newsday reports that Wendy Button, a speechwriter for Obama, has endorsed McCain. Will we ever see the LA Times Obama video of him praising Rashid Khalidi?

As the Greg Oden injury has Trial Blazer fans remembering the ghost of Sam Bowie, keep updated on our NBA Futures odds.

Wednesday World Series and NBA Gambling Against the Vegas Odds

The World Series is set to resume on Wednesday (weather permitting), while many more NBA teams get going on their regular seasons. Philadelphia weather indicates it will be cold, but likely not much precipitation. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Titans vanquished the Colts on Monday night, which put them at 7-0 both straight-up and against-the-spread on the season (and four games up in the AFC South standings to boot). That makes Tennessee the most lucrative team in the conference; only the Ravens and Browns are close to them ATS, as they’re both at 5-2 vs. the line.

Over in the NFC there are six teams with five against-the-spread victories already – the Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Buccaneers, Saints, and Cardinals. The worst teams to support in that conference have been the Vikings, Lions, and Niners, who all have just two ATS victories. Overall, however, the worst team for your betting dollar this year has been the Broncos – through their seven games they are at just 1-5-1 ATS (but 4-3 SU).

Other Notable Events

Major League Baseball decided not to resume soggy Game 5 of the World Series on Tuesday night, so that pushes the contest to Wednesday night in Philadelphia (assuming they can get some decent weather). The game is tied 2-2 after 5 1-2 innings of play; Shane Victorino drove in both Philadelphia runs, while Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena picked up the RBI for Tampa Bay. Originally Game 6 was supposed to be played in Tampa on Wednesday, so that contest (if required) will obviously be pushed.

The Rest of the Schedule

The power of 620 sports services behind every selection goes 4-0 last night with another football sweep. Yes, we said another football sweep with Buffalo and Marshall. And basketball starts out 2-0 Milwaukee over and Lakers. Tonight’s card is fantastic say those who will beat the live odds for the NBA.

The NBA regular season kicks into high gear on Wednesday night, with two dozen teams in action. The Oklahoma City Thunder will begin life at home on Wednesday against Milwaukee, while Mike D’Antoni will make his debut as the head coach of the Knicks when they play host to the Heat. D’Antoni’s former team, the Suns, will begin their 2008/09 campaign on the road; they’ll play in San Antonio on Wednesday night.

Rounding out the NBA’s Wednesday slate: New Jersey at Washington, Toronto at Philadelphia, Atlanta at Orlando, Sacramento at Minnesota, Indiana at Detroit, Memphis at Houston, Denver at Utah, and New Orleans at Golden State. As well, the Lakers will play their second game in two nights when they ‘visit’ the Clippers in a divisional battle.

Finally, there are three National Hockey League games on Wednesday night: Toronto at New Jersey, Minnesota at Dallas, and Detroit at Anaheim. After a slow start to the regular season the Ducks have turned it around of late, picking up the victory in each of their last four games. Anaheim topped Columbus last time out, winning 3-2 on the road.
