He was the top rated Capper for years at a previous&nbsp;outlet and left for a new challenge once again proving he is the best in the business, bar none!<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Matt received a Bachelor of Arts from&nbsp;a top 20 college, <\/span><\/font><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Emory<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>University<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> in <st1:City><st1:place>Atlanta<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>,&nbsp;and has worked&nbsp;at two major&nbsp;television&nbsp;networks covering both&nbsp;pro and college sports.&nbsp;A thorough knowledge of the sports world combined&nbsp;with personal gambling experience&nbsp;along with years of professional&nbsp;handicapping has helped mold Mr. Rivers into the rock solid consistent winner that he is today.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> &#8220;I know it&#8217;s impossible to win 75% of the time like some handicappers say they do. That&#8217;s just not possible. Bottom line, there are a ton of liars in this industry and I have literally seen this first hand from rivals as well as former colleagues&#8221; Matt says. &#8220;There are so many shysters out there looking to just make a quick buck that it gives the handicapping industry a bad name.&#8221;<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> &#8221;I want to assure each and every one of you reading this page that I&nbsp;don&#8217;t put my name on a play without playing it myself. That is a cold hard fact. I get down in the trenches with my clients&#8221;. <br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Matt&#8217;s goal is to isolate the few plays a week that have either been overlooked by the oddsmakers, have &#8220;wrong&#8221; lines because the price was set to create &#8220;even money&#8221;, or have &#8220;bad numbers&#8221;&nbsp;because the public is betting&nbsp;the game&nbsp;in the wrong direction. &#8220;Sometimes a team that is getting three points is actually the better team and should be laying the three,&#8221; Matt says.&nbsp; &#8220;That is what value is all about.&#8221;<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> &#8220;I love to tell remind potential clients of when <st1:State><st1:place>Oklahoma<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and&nbsp;<st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Florida<\/st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>&nbsp;played for the national championship a few years ago. <st1:State><st1:place>Oklahoma<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> was the better team, flat out. But all of the hype was on the sexy team, <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Florida<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>, and gamblers seemed to forget about the ridiculously strong Sooner D.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> &#8220;Remember, once again, when the <span class=SpellE>oddsmaker<\/span> makes the line all he wants is even action on both sides; he doesn&#8217;t really care if he is off by 50 points. As long as he accomplishes his mission then it&#8217;s all good.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> &#8220;Because the public loved the swagger and hype the &#8216;<span class=SpellE>Noles<\/span> brought to the table, the books knew this and jacked them up to a touchdown favorite. But <st1:State><st1:place>Oklahoma<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> was the better team, so what does that tell you? You just received a present, a free 7 to 10 points. Also realize that&nbsp;more times than not&nbsp;those huge games&nbsp;are not even the ones&nbsp;with value as Joe Q. <span class=SpellE>Oddsmaker<\/span> knows more about them than they do in contests featuring such powerhouses as Middle Tennessee State and Utah State.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> &#8220;Personally, I buried three separate books with that Championship game,&#8221; Matt adds. &#8220;One has to realize that&nbsp;the oddsmakers&nbsp;are definitely very good at&nbsp;their job but&nbsp;they are&nbsp;Human and do make numerous mistakes.&#8221;<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Matt does not attempt to fool anyone and claim these betting situations&nbsp;<span class=GramE>happen<\/span> everyday. But they do occur every week, especially with a slate of 70 college and pro football games, or&nbsp;90 college basketball games. And finding those games is how Matt, and his clients, ALWAYS make mone<span class=ectextbody>y.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>His plays have been released previously for free as part of any premium purchase.
