NBA Sweat Barometer (Better Known As Margin of Cover) + Free Pick

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has an NBA lock tonight on the New Jersey Nets (+5.5) at Detroit.

New Jersey isn’t a very good basketball team, I fully get that, but the Pistons aren’t exactly reliving their glory days right now and for them to be laying half a dozen or so to anybody is a bit rich if you ask me. Don’t get me wrong I will pick my spots with the boys from MoTown as I do think they still have some game with experienced veteran guys like Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Rodney Stuckey and a few others but Stuckey is banged up and may not play and as a favorite I could never trust this current Detroit outfit.

The Nets’ record is terrible at 15-35 but they at least have won a game in their last four, unlike the Pistons, and do have talent themselves with borderline All-Stars in Brook Lopez and Devin Harris. Plus Avery Johnson’s team is a perfect 2-0 so far this season in the series including an easy 15 point victory a few weeks ago.

I like to use a certain analogy every now and then and it fits perfectly in this spot. This play is akin to a game of Black Jack. I readily admit that we are the poor hand of six. But when the dealer is a 16, which the Pistons are, then all of a sudden our six is looking a whole heck of a lot better. Overall the six isn’t good but when put into this type of a spot it very easily may be good enough

For more information: Matt Rivers nailed a 300,000* Oregon State plus 13 outright by 12 and the 200,000* Heat were pretty much never in doubt. That’s how it’s done and that’s how one atones for a rare poor day. All is once again right as usual and now I’m raising that bar with a major 400,000* release in the MAAC between Manhattan and Siena along with another 200,000* winner from the Association involving the Mavericks and Celtics. Feeling great and ready to bury that Crookie as I do many, many more times than not! Get the card now at OffshoreInsiders.com

So who are the NBA’s best “margin of cover” (+/- how much they did or did not cover by) teams, renamed the “sweat barometer” by some of the Johnny-come-lately handicappers?

MOC is similar to scoring margin, but it is measured by how much a team covers or fails to cover the point spread.

Many sports handicappers believe MOC is invaluable in isolating under and overvalued teams.

The Bulls top the list of best:

Team                                      Margin of Cover

Chicago                                   +3.1

Philadelphia                            +2.7

New Orleans                           +2.2

Memphis                                +2.0

Now to the worst—or best to bet against:

Team                                      Margin of Cover

Cleveland                                -4.4

Utah                                        -2.4

Which NBA teams are best to bet on after a straight up win? Here we go:

Team                                      ATS Record

New York                               19-6

Philadelphia                            14-7

Dallas                                    20-10

LA Clippers                            12-6

As it turns out there is only one clear-cut team to bet against off an outright win:

Team                                      ATS Record

Washington                             1-12

Top expert pick on today’s card: The hard work and endless research continues to pay off for pro bettors as GodsTips is now 27-11 since 2010 with Wise Guy plays, which from GodsTips are widely accepted by virtually every bookmaker, Vegas runner, pro bettor, Vegas insider, oddsmaker, and fellow handicappers alike as the strongest pick in sports gambling. Last night it was Michigan as the ESPN Big 10 Game of the Year.

Get another Wise Guy side winner tonight in the NBA from the best handicapper of all-time and now the hottest. The latest sweep is ready.

Sports Betting’s Best and Worst Teams off Wins and Losses

Yesterday, we were two letters off. We stated that ESPN’s Chad Millman has renamed to long-standing sports handicapping tool of Margin of Cover as the “sweat meter.” He in fact refers to it as the “sweat barometer.”  By any name, the “Margin of Cover” (+/- how much they did or did not cover by) continues to be a betting weapon.

Now that sports betting experts know the top MOC teams in NCAAB to bet on or against, how about analyzing which teams in college basketball are best and worst off straight up wins and losses?

Cal Poly has been the top “predictably unpredictable” squad as they are 1-7 against the spread off a straight up win, but 8-1 to the number off a straight up loss.

Here are the best teams off an outright win:

Team Against the spread record

Hawaii                                    8-1

George Mason            13-3

Texas                          12-3

Cleveland State         11-3

However, the following teams can’t stand prosperity. These are the best teams to bet against off a straight up win:

Team Against the spread record

Miss State                   1-8

Ohio                            1-7

Miami Ohio                1-7

Southern Illinois        1-7

Cal Poly                      1-7

Michigan State           2-9

Who are the best bounce back teams? Only two teams have been particular impressive against the sportsbook odds off a straight up setback:

Team Against the spread record

Cal Poly                      8-1

San Francisco             7-1

Conversely, losing is quite contagious for these spread disasters. Here are the worst teams to bet on—or the best teams to bet against off a straight up loss.

Team Against the spread record

Fordham                    1-8

Texas Tech                 1-7

Florida Intl.                1-7

Arkansas State           1-7

San Diego                   3-13

Free Basketball Pick Against the Point Spread

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a pick Thursday on the Miami Hurricanes (-5.5) to Georgia Tech.

Reasoning: The very young Yellow Jackets have been half a disgrace at times this season and especially away from Hotlanta. Miami is not much better than mediocre but they do have quality guard play and being in South Beach should be too much for G Tech. In fact just being anywhere outside of their home element should be too much for G Tech.

Paul Hewitt has not coached his team up very well and right now the Jackets are a lower echelon ACC squad that has been awful. They have shown some glimpses at the Thrillerdome as Iman Shumpert, Daniel Miller, Glen Rice and a few others have manned up to beat North Carolina and play better at times against others but the road has been a different story and until they show anything really should lose by double digits against any opponent that has anything at all.

Tech is a perfect or imperfect 0-6 on the road and none of the games have even been that competitive. They lost to a dreadful team in Kennesaw State earlier in the season and were also downed by five by a regressing Siena program. The Saints are far from being the class of the MAAC anymore and all in all Tech has been brutally bad away and just cannot in any way, shape of form be trusted in such a spot.

Miami is 12-9 and if a few extremely tight games went their way it would be more like 15-6. This team has played a plethora of games that have come down to the last possession and they have been snakebitten with the results. But they have quality guard play led by Malcolm Grant and today is the game that they should get well with.

There is the potential for a blowout but in the end blowout or not I don’t see these visitors being able to compete. They haven’t yet so why tonight?

Top expert pick on this game: Miami Florida

Super Bowl Prop Odds and Picks

Much like March Madness, the Super Bowl is always the time of the year where a large percentage of American’s wager in one way or another. Whether it’s the pedestrian “squares” pool that omnipresent at seemingly every Super Bowl party, the prop bets exploited by fantasy football players, or most importantly the point spread picks and the over/under selections on the Packers vs. Steelers game itself, significant money will change hands this weekend.

Not uncommon, the public is betting the favorite and the over thus far. Green Bay is up to a (-2.5 -120) favorite and the total is now as high as 45 at some sportsbooks.

Some of the best proposition bets:

Jordy Nelson (Green Bay) pass receptions: over 3 -148

Pittsburgh has the best run defense in the NFL. With top RB Ryan Grant and TE Jermichael Finley long gone, possession receiver Nelson is the Pack’s best ball control alternative. He is likely to be a big hot read option. The pick should be in by halftime.

James Starks (Green Bay) rushing yards: under 45.5 +129

The Steelers allow 3.0 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.1. Only twice in his entire career has Starks rushed for more than 3.5 yards per carry. Now in the biggest game of his life, the rookie faces the best run defense in the NFL. He will be lucky to get 20 yards rushing.

Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh) passing attempts: over 30.5 -135

It is considered to be a “fast track” at Cowboys Stadium. The AFC Championship ended 14 straight games in which Pittsburgh passed at least 27 times. Pittsburgh barely escaped a historic meltdown against the Jets by getting Marty Schottenheimer conservative. They finally put the game away with a couple of completions.

We don’t see the Steelers getting too conservative with the lead. But if the oddsmakers are correct, the Men of Steele will probably be behind in the fourth quarter, making it more likely they will throw often.

There are already some wacky wagers up such as what will be higher Aaron Rodgers completions or Dwayne Wade points. Bettors can bet the higher number: Aaron Rodgers completion percentage or Dwight Howard free throw percentage.

How about Andrew Quarless receiving yards or Jared Sullinger (Ohio State) points or Ben Roethlisberger completions vs. Paul Pierce points?

There will certainly be odds on the length of the national anthem, not to mention Super Bowl commercial props. “Personally, I never worry about prop bets, it’s all about who covers,” opines sports handicapper Stevie Vincent.

Billy Walters, Pro Gambler Featured on 60 Minutes

Billy Walters, Las Vegas gambler, will be featured on 60 Minutes. Before there was a Steve Fezzik, Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy, Alan Boston, Right Angle Sports, The Canadian Crew, Dr. Bob Stohl, there was the Computer Boys.

Why did the elusive Walters finally agree to appear?

Walters said he wanted to get some things off his chest about Las Vegas and gambling, to let the rest of the country know that legal gambling is far more honest than the massive fraud that is so common on Wall Street he accurately tells 8 News Now.

What influence has he had on today’s gamblers? Joe Duffy, widely agreed as the top professional sports handicapper today, says that Walters domination had him utilizing computer software for his entire quarter-century plus in handicapping.

“It started with Pointspread Analyzer software, written by a college professor Dr. Mike Orkin,” says Duffy. “Today I utilize all the good ones. FoxSheets and Sportsdatabase for systems, and TeamRankings and Accuscore top the list for predictions software, while the MasseyRatings are the most accurate power ratings.”

Stevie Vincent, the founder of forensic sports handicapping says he will be watching. “You are never too old to learn from the veterans.”

ScoresOddsPicks is Now “The Canadian Crew”

Only the name and the affiliation changed. Previously ScoresOddsPicks, The Canadian Crew is a squad of Ontario based wunderkinds who built up a large devout following among bettors in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). With several online sportsbooks in the region, they were recruited to make picks with write-ups for search engine optimization.

There was a major problem: the picks won. And won.

Then they won some more.

Clients were drawn to the sportsbooks, but betting those picks. The online books gained clients and lost money. A ton of money. The bookmakers learned to be careful what they asked for.

Once they were told to stop winning or else, they were hired by ScoresOddsPicks.com as consultants and continued winning picks via the MasterLockLine as part of a special arrangement.

Upon becoming the winningest source in the history of the LockLine/SuperLockLine/MasterLockLine, their role was expanded again as a separate entity.

As of January 4, 2010, they are hired by OffshoreInsiders.com as their exclusive home to winning picks under the brand of, “The Canadian Crew.” Yes the same unprecedented picks winning percentage as ScoresOddsPicks, just a new, and more appropriate name. Now winning at outlandish rates is good and the only option.
