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
href=”http://www.offshoreinsiders.com/”>OffshoreInsiders.com

style=’mso-spacerun:yes’>

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
href=”http://www.bigstickmedia.com/pr-2009-10-07.pdf”>$2.6 million over the
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 “
class=SpellE>telematched
” calling lists. None of the above can
class=GramE>compete
with the unprecedented winning of Stevie Vincent,
Joe Duffy, Mike Godsey, and

style=’color:windowtext’>Matt Rivers
,” concludes
class=SpellE>Kayma
.

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.

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 Rio Grande.
If only crossing a Manhattan
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 online gambling,
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 Massachusetts
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 betting they instead choose to
subvert themselves further into irrelevancy.

March Madness 2009 Betting Prediction: Best Ever Year For Sharps, Worst For Squares

The 2008-09 football season
produced the widest gap ever between the sharp player and square player in
sports betting history. All key indicators are that the Information Age will
likely produce the same disparity in 2009 March Madness betting. However, it’s
never been easier to choose to be on the elite side.

As previously discussed, the schism between those who win
in sports betting and those who lose has never
been wider
. The quality of accurate information is widely available to the sportsbooks and gambler alike.

resources to exploit such Intel. The always improving and innovating

gambler needs.

Tennis Betting

Tennis
betting
has become increasingly popular in the last few years and many
punters are taking tennis picks into consideration when trying to find the best
sports picks. Tennis matches are played almost every day and it is easier to
follow a lot of players at the same time. One advantage of betting on tennis
matches is that there are only two outcomes, which increases your chances of
winning.

Players’ form is very important as the matches are played
every day, once the tournament starts and this can often decide the winner.
Considering that the tournaments have very busy schedule, the bookies don’t
have enough time to take everything into consideration when deciding on the
odds, and they usually base these just on statistics. Thus, you can back the
player at really good odds if you can just take some time to study the matches.

The most important thing when choosing the best tennis pick sis to take
the playing surface into the consideration. We all know that almost all Spanish
players are great on clay, but really poor on faster surfaces, while you cannot
expect a serve and volley player to do well on the slower surface. You should
make sure that the player you are backing is good and only uses authentic tennis gear like wilson blade racquets and stuff.

As we have already said, the players are involved in a lot
of matches during the season and they tend to get tired and often pick up
injuries. Making sure to have all the information on a player is essential as
that can help you a great deal. For example, if a player has just finished a
difficult tournament, where he played a lot of long matches, he cannot be
expected to bring his best game as he will be very tired. You could use this to
bet against him and take possibly very high odds.

Previous meetings between players are also worth
considering as if one player has always beaten the other one,
the odds are that he will do it again, even though he is an underdog in the
match.

If you follow all these guidelines, tennis betting is
certainly worth considering and it is certainly an option when there are not
many football or basketball events to bet on.
