We\u2019ve said before that online sports radio stations can
\ngive good insight to the sports gambler.
\n<\/span>Who are some of the best hosts and what are the top sports radio shows
\nfrom a sports betting standpoint?<\/p>\n

Norm Hitzges<\/span> of the Ticket in Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nis a true sports radio legend. <\/span>He\u2019s also
\nunapologetic about his love for the pointspread angle. Switch stations
\nafterwards as \u201cBad Radio\u201d follows. <\/span>Not
\nonly does the show title fit, but it describes the rest of the broadcast day.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nis the sports gambling capital of the world, especially when it comes to
\nprofessional sports. The newer of the all-sports stations WPEN<\/span>
\nSportsradio<\/span> 950 has one of the premier true sports
\ntalk hosts in the land, Jody McDonald.
\n<\/span>Like Hitzges<\/span>, \u201cJody Mac\u201d has no compunction
\nabout talking pointspread. <\/p>\n

His show is opposite sports radio veteran Howard Eskin<\/span>, a pioneer in newspaper sports handicapping as he was
\nthe original Vegas Vic in the Philadelphia Daily News. Eskin<\/span>
\nis heard on WIP<\/span> radio. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, 610 WIP<\/span> is a
\nperfect illustration of the difference between true sports radio that the
\nsports bettors prefer and \u201cguy radio\u201d which appeals to the great unwashed who
\nfill out their Arbitron<\/span> radio books. <\/span><\/p>\n

On one hand, they have the stereotypical \u201cyou are an
\nidiot, you are a moron\u201d comic book character host Steve Martorano<\/span>
\non five days a week, but hide one of their true sports experts, and admitted
\nsports handicapping junkie Paul Jolvitz<\/span>, AKA \u201cJolly\u201d
\nin the middle of weekend nights. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike radio legend Pete Franklin, who mixed his shtick with
\nsubstance, Martorano<\/span> uses his grade-school name
\ncalling to waive the intellectual white flag. WIP<\/span>
\nalso has sundry Brandon Lang infomercials further debasing the product. <\/p>\n

Former Philadelphian and former XTRA<\/span>
\nSports Radio personality Philly Billy Werndl<\/span> moved to
\nSan Diego XX Sports Radio, but unfortunately cannot be heard on Real Audio any
\nlonger. <\/p>\n

Though sources tell me he is an anti-gambling zealot, he
\nis one of the top NFL experts. Mitch Levy hosts a show on KJR<\/span>
\nin Seattle<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. <\/span>We\u2019ve gotten decent Pac-10 tidbits from his
\nshow that has benefited our sports handicapping. <\/p>\n

WFAN<\/span> radio in New
\nYork<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> is the first of all all-sports radio stations
\nand still the king. <\/span>While \u201cMike and the
\nMad Dog\u201d combination of Mike Francesa<\/span> and Chris Russo
\nare their best known hosts in the post Don Imus<\/span> era,
\nit\u2019s Joe Benigno<\/span> who has the best insight. <\/p>\n

WEEI<\/span> in Boston<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nis solid too and it\u2019s all Patriots all the time on NFL Sundays and Mondays. <\/p>\n

Rick Ballou<\/span>, formally of
\nSporting News Radio, now at Jacksonville<\/st1:City>, Florida<\/st1:State><\/st1:place>\u2019s
\n1010XL is one of the top college football experts in the land, especially with
\nSEC and Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> based teams. <\/p>\n

Ballou\u2019s<\/span> former employer has
\nopted to sell infomercial time to Mr. Duke Wins Larry Dukeheart<\/span>
\nand Jonathan Stone. Ron Barr\u2019s Sports Byline Radio Network features something
\ncalled Sports Memo Radio Show with Tim Trushel<\/span>. Barr
\nalso has Mark Lawrence of Preferred Picks and Vegas Experts on his show. <\/p>\n

Joe Duffy\u2019s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com<\/a> <\/span>He is former General Manager of the
\nFreescoreboard scorephone network and CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com<\/a>,
\n<\/span><\/b>the premier hub of world-class handicappers. <\/p>\n
