All the Thursday Sports Service Picks Needed By Pro Bettors

January 22, 2009 JoeDuffy.net Administrator Leave a comment

Here is the objective rundown of who is hot and who has the big plays for Thursday night action in sports betting.

Let’s start out with the founder of forensic sports handicapping.

Again an industry secret. Most services will refuse to ever release a conference Game of the Year until at least mid-February where regular season NCAAB peaks. Stevie’s agenda is not maximum sales, it’s maximum wins. That’s why today he has the West Coast Conference GAME of the YEAR.

On Wednesday, the Great One nails Oklahoma City as the Western Conference Underdog GAME of the YEAR to go to 8-2 the last 10 pro basketball. Today the founder of forensic sports handicapping has six winners and four are Level 5 burials. Click now to purchase

Now to the Center of the Handicapping Universe GodsTips. While we may not be in the middle of any epic runs (yet), it’s clockwork GodsTips. Our 14-8 college basketball and 21-13 NBA Wise Guy runs are par for the course, though frankly we are ready to ramp it up.

We have Wise Guy plays in the NBA and CBB and two outlaw line plays. The official outlaw line is what the odds would be if there was no consideration given to public perception and balancing the action. It is the more accurate line from the standpoint of the bettor. Click now to purchase

Kongpop Sukhibomrong, head of the famed Pan-Asian Syndicate which dominated Asian and European soccer for years has now taken over the North American sports scene. Pop’s syndicate is the most requested source of winners in the history of the SuperLockLine and MasterLockLine. Today get Celtics/Magic total

The Coach Potato is the premier television handicapper in the world. In 1988 after having success as a handicapper, investing 70-plus hours per week, he opted to streamline and concentrate on only national TV games. His efficiency has paid off hitting at least 58 % in college and pro football and basketball. All plays are rated equally. He’s over 60 percent this season in basketball. NBA Celtics/Magic side; NCAAB West Virginia/Georgetown, UCLA/Washington State

The CEO of a major website has his Vegas Runner Game of the Year is Utah State/San Jose State. We have it for less than ¼ of what they are charging. Click now to purchase sports betting picks from the top sports services or you can get more information and a free sports pick
