We’ve said before that online sports radio stations can
give good insight to the sports gambler.
Who are some of the best hosts and what are the top sports radio shows
from a sports betting standpoint?

Norm Hitzges of the Ticket in Dallas
is a true sports radio legend. He’s also
unapologetic about his love for the pointspread angle. Switch stations
afterwards as “Bad Radio” follows. Not
only does the show title fit, but it describes the rest of the broadcast day.

Philadelphia
is the sports gambling capital of the world, especially when it comes to
professional sports. The newer of the all-sports stations WPEN
Sportsradio 950 has one of the premier true sports
talk hosts in the land, Jody McDonald.
Like Hitzges, “Jody Mac” has no compunction
about talking pointspread.

His show is opposite sports radio veteran Howard Eskin, a pioneer in newspaper sports handicapping as he was
the original Vegas Vic in the Philadelphia Daily News. Eskin
is heard on WIP radio.

Unfortunately, 610 WIP is a
perfect illustration of the difference between true sports radio that the
sports bettors prefer and “guy radio” which appeals to the great unwashed who
fill out their Arbitron radio books.

On one hand, they have the stereotypical “you are an
idiot, you are a moron” comic book character host Steve Martorano
on five days a week, but hide one of their true sports experts, and admitted
sports handicapping junkie Paul Jolvitz, AKA “Jolly”
in the middle of weekend nights.

Unlike radio legend Pete Franklin, who mixed his shtick with
substance, Martorano uses his grade-school name
calling to waive the intellectual white flag. WIP
also has sundry Brandon Lang infomercials further debasing the product.

Former Philadelphian and former XTRA
Sports Radio personality Philly Billy Werndl moved to
San Diego XX Sports Radio, but unfortunately cannot be heard on Real Audio any
longer.

Though sources tell me he is an anti-gambling zealot, he
is one of the top NFL experts. Mitch Levy hosts a show on KJR
in Seattle. We’ve gotten decent Pac-10 tidbits from his
show that has benefited our sports handicapping.

WFAN radio in New
York is the first of all all-sports radio stations
and still the king. While “Mike and the
Mad Dog” combination of Mike Francesa and Chris Russo
are their best known hosts in the post Don Imus era,
it’s Joe Benigno who has the best insight.

WEEI in Boston
is solid too and it’s all Patriots all the time on NFL Sundays and Mondays.

Rick Ballou, formally of
Sporting News Radio, now at Jacksonville, Florida’s
1010XL is one of the top college football experts in the land, especially with
SEC and Florida based teams.

Ballou’s former employer has
opted to sell infomercial time to Mr. Duke Wins Larry Dukeheart
and Jonathan Stone. Ron Barr’s Sports Byline Radio Network features something
called Sports Memo Radio Show with Tim Trushel. Barr
also has Mark Lawrence of Preferred Picks and Vegas Experts on his show.

Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com He is former General Manager of the
Freescoreboard scorephone network and CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com,
the premier hub of world-class handicappers.

Here are some computer betting trends for the Monday Night
Football Games:

Ravens-Bengals

Baltimore is
5-2 according to the sportsbooks
their last seven MNF. They have also covered 5-of-7 as an underdog. Baltimore
is 10-4 versus the pointspread their last 14 overall as an underdog on the road
of three or less. However, overall they
are only 3-7 as a betting puppy of three or less and they’ve failed 4-of-5 in
opening week.

The Bengals are 6-0 against the spread in September and
4-1 their last five on grass. Cincinnati
is 7-16 to the Vegas line as home favorites and 4-11 their last 15 home games
to the NFL betting odds. The home team is
11-5 in the series. The top sports service plays for tonight’s NFL card and MLB
betting are at MasterLockLine.com

Baltimore has
gone under 8-1 in opening week and under 9-of-11 as road underdogs of three or
less. Inside the AFC, they have gone
under the sportsbooks total at a 16-6 rate.

Cincinnati has
gone under the sports betting odds six of their last seven overall.

Cardinals-49ers

Arizona has
covered their last four road games. They
are 5-0 to the NFC and 6-1 versus the sportsbooks
their last seven overall. Gamblers fade Arizona
if they see them in September as the Cards are 5-16 in said month.

The 49ers are 6-1 to the NFC West and a stunning 14-3
against the betting line on MNF.
However, those who bet on sports will want to also note that they are
3-7 as a favorite of three or less and 6-16 overall as a chalk according to the
Vegas bookmakers. Joe Duffy’s GodsTips has both NFL sides spread winners at OffshoreInsiders.com No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe
Duffy’s GodsTips does the NFL.

Arizona has
gone over 8-0 as road underdogs of three or less and six straight overall. They’ve
gone over 28-9 overall on the road. San Francisco
has gone over 7-0 as a favorite. The series has exceeded the betting total in
6-of-7.

So the radio has some guy named Jonathan Stone claiming to
have the biggest play of his life every day?

Two of the best sports services on earth have free picks
on tonight’s NFL betting and college football betting card. The free sports
service plays are on New Orleans
and Indianapolis as well as Oregon
State and Cincinnati.

First let us give word to the wise as far as betting on
sports and paying for sports handicapper selections. All professional
handicappers are proud to show off the amount of research that goes into a
pick. If a handicapper gives you no
rationale, rest assured you just paid for a coin flip.

Forensic
handicapping founder Stevie Vincent of BetOnSports360.com
says bet on the under in tonight’s New Orleans Saints versus Indianapolis
Colts. The Great One notes that New
Orleans has gone under the Vegas pointspread total 4-0
opening week. Against the betting line, they have also gone under 13-5 as an
underdog of 3.5-10 points. Indianapolis
Colts have gone under the total 7-3 opening week and under 11-5 on turf.

GodsTips.com is
going with Cincinnati getting four
points as they host Oregon State. Here is the analysis:

As we reported in our free
preview of this game, Oregon State will have their leading receiver Sammie Stroughter back for this game,
but the odds have gone way too high as a result.

The weather will benefit the Bearcats greatly and Oregon
State
must play a rare game in searing heat. Temperatures are going to be on the
mid-90s, something those Ducks don’t get much of. Plus they are adjusting their body clocks to
a new time zone.

The Bearcats have been practicing in this oppressive
weather. They come in with high hopes, off a blowout win and with a new
coaching staff.

Also the Beavers head to the road with big, big question
marks at the quarterback position. Neither Sean Canfield nor Lyle Moevao has looked impressive
either on the practice field or in their opening game to Utah. The left side of their offensive line has a
combined four starts.

This is a game if played later in the year, OSU would likely win by six or
so, but it’s too early in the year for a team as raw as Oregon State to be
heading to a new climate and time zone. The free football pick is Cincinnati
as an underdog.

Online sports betting is quite
profitable for sportsbooks because
there are so few elite sports bettors wagering on football compared to the
number squares who bet on sports. But
the professional gamblers and betting syndicates know where to go for
information and most importantly, how to use it.

Here is yet another look at the clipboard of the elite
football handicappers and sports betting services at OffshoreInsiders.com

NC State-Boston College

Harrison Beck, a Nebraska
transfer, gets the nod at starting quarterback for NC State. He led a second
half rally against Central Florida last week completing
17-of-28 passes for 207 yards. Beck was neck-to-neck with Daniel Evans in
battling for the starting job, which Evans eventually won five days before the
season. This is devastating considering the Wolfpack just lost their star
running back Toney Baker for the season.

Nebraska-Wake Forest

Wake Forest
starting quarterback Riley Skinner, a key part of last year’s Cinderella season,
is doubtful with a separated shoulder. Skinner
was hurt against Boston College.
The new starter is Brett Hodges who played well in relief going 17-for-23 with
129 yards passing, though he did throw an interception.

TCU-Texas

Horned Frogs sensational defensive end Tommy Blake, a
two-time Mountain West pick, returned to practice Sunday night. He missed TCU’s
27-0 opening week shutout of Baylor. But TCU head
coach Gary Patterson says that Blake’s status is uncertain for the game against
the Longhorns. Blake led the MWC last year with 16.5
tackles for a loss.

Missouri-Mississippi

Missouri has
won three straight in the series. Missouri’s
highly touted offense must come out of the gate quicker than they did against Illinois,
who they beat in a thriller last week. Mizzou punted
on five of their first six possessions.

California-Colorado State

The Bears will have to avoid a letdown following their
humungous home win to Tennessee.

Indiana-Western Michigan

Sportsbooks
have this game around a pick ‘em game, so note that Indiana
has won 17 in a row straight up to the MAC Conference. But only three of those games were on the
road. Dating back to last year when Kellen Lewis took
over as Hoosier quarterback, Indiana has rushed for at least 100 yards in
7-of-9 games. New head coach Bill Lynch has emphasized the run.

Notre Dame-Penn State

The embattled fighting Irish take on a Nittany Lions team
looking for revenge. The Irish may be
vulnerable as evidenced by the 33-3 shellacking at the hands of Georgia Tech.

As sharp players bet the morning line in
college football, the college football sports handicapping experts at OffshoreInsiders.com give
you the edge against the Vegas odds.

The most important news is that Bodog
clients all report their new site NewBodog
has made a smooth transition and there is no interruption in service.

East Carolina-Virginia Tech

The betting line has gone up at all sportsbooks as gamblers are betting on
the emotion of the Hokies. This will be the first game for Hokie
Nation after the horrific and senseless mass murder. There will be ceremonies to honor the
innocent victims.

The pointspread winner seems so insignificant, but as Mike
Godsey of GodsTips tells us, “So-called intangible players are betting on
Virginia Tech’s emotion to be worth six to eight points.”

Arkansas State-Texas

Young Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy will be without two
of his best receivers, Billy Pittman (injury/suspension) and Jordan Shipley,
though Shipley has a small chance of playing.

Virginia-Wyoming

Not only is Virginia
traveling quite a distance, but they will face the largest opening day crown in
Wyoming history. The game sold
out Friday night. According to our Wyoming
sources, it is considered the biggest game the Pokes have hosted “in years”.

Alabama Birmingham-Michigan State

The MasterLockLine.com
has bar none the biggest sports service play on this game from the Couch
Potato. Though each team has a new coach and new starters, UAB
lost 28 seniors from a team that went 3-9 straight up. The Spartans have 13 starters back including
special teams. The Blazers lost seven of their leading 10 tacklers. UAB will play both Sam Hunt and Joseph Webb at QB.

Washington State-Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s
offensive coordinator Paul Cryst is not afraid to
throw downfield and Washington State
is breaking in two new starters at linebacker and three in the secondary. With
the new rules, note Wisconsin’s
kickoff return team struggled. However
returning kicker Taylor Mehlhaff led the Big 10 in
touchbacks last season.

Connecticut-Duke

Just as if it were a basketball game between the two, sportsbooks have a high total of 52.
That’s in no small part due to the fact the Blue Devils have 11 starters back
on offense, but several players with new roles on defense. This is a realistic
chance for Duke to end their 20-game losing streak. They take on a UConn team that is off a 4-8 year. Duke is confident
having been very competitive in losses last year to Wake
Forest, Miami
and hated rival North Carolina.

Central Florida-NC State

For those who believes games are won at the point of
attack, note that the Golden Knight’s have starters with a combined 110 career
starts on the offensive line. Compare
that to the Wolfpack’s 38. Projected starting tackle Jeraill McCuller is suspended
indefinitely. Tight end Anthony Hill is out for the year. State’s top defensive
tackle DaMario Pressley has been upgraded to probable
with a sprained elbow.

Tennessee-California

If California
does not cover the spread, it will not be because of lack of motivation. All sharp sports gamblers know it’s a big
revenge game for Cal, but last night on Sporting News Radio, Bears broadcaster Roxy Bernstein said he thinks it’s possibly the biggest
home game in California history. Speaking of California,
congratulations go out to the California (PA) Vulcans
for their 1-0 start in Division II.
