A Note From Doc
Our company opened for business back in 1971. We were only one of a small number of sports handicapping services in existence at that time, and most of those have now fallen by the wayside. When you have been in the sports handicapping industry for more than 40 years, you definitely see some major changes.

NBA Betting and Handicapping: Scouting The Week Ahead
by Alan Matthews - 2/13/2012
I absolutely refuse to mention any headline variation of Jeremy Lin-sanity in this week’s NBA preview. Dang! Yeah, the last thing I wanted to do was lead with the Knicks again and the media sensation that Lin has become in leading New York to five straight wins. Actually, the Knicks were at one point one of the worst teams to back in the NBA but have covered an amazing eight straight games to improve to 13-15 overall ATS entering Tuesday’s matchup at Toronto.

College Basketball Betting: Hot or Not Handicapping Report
by David Schwab - 2/13/2012
The 2011-12 college basketball schedule enters the second half of February with the madness of March lurking right around the corner. The top teams in the country continue to try and build an overall resume that is worthy of a top seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament, while a few Cinderella’s are sharpening their form for a long run in the big dance.

NBA Betting and Handicapping: Impact of Abbreviated Schedule
by T.O. Whenham - 2/10/2012
The biggest impact of the ridiculous NBA Lockout last year is the significantly compacted schedule. There are only 66 games this year, and they are played in much less time than they would in normal circumstances. It only makes sense that we look at the impacts that this situation is having on NBA betting, and what it could have going forward. Let’s start by looking at something that was surprising to me:

College Basketball Handicapping: Any Betting Value on Murray State After Loss?
by T.O. Whenham - 2/10/2012
I have been wanting to write about Murray State for quite a while now. Of course, I wanted to write a different article than I will be writing now. Before Thursday night the Racers were a huge story. They had won 23 games in a row, were ranked as high as No. 7 in the country, and seemed to have a very good shot at ending the season undefeated.

NHL Handicapping: Any Value in Washington Capitals Moving Forward?
by T.O. Whenham - 2/10/2012
The Washington Capitals have been the biggest disappointment in the NHL this year. They were the favorites to win the Stanley Cup before the season and many people, including me, thought that this was finally their year. A combination of factors, though — lackadaisical play, injuries, a coaching change, terrible road play, and so on — has conspired to turn a very promising season into an underwhelming one.

Friday NBA Betting Report: Schedule Handicapping Breakdown
by Aaron Smith - 2/10/2012
It’s hard to believe, but the NBA All-Star Game is only a couple weeks away. The first half of the season has been very abbreviated due to the lockout, but that will be the theme of this season as a whole. Most teams have played at least 25 games, and the oddsmakers are getting a better read on each team. In order to beat the books, the average bettor will have to find important trends that help them stay ahead of the game.

This Week in Sports Betting, A-Z
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/9/2012
B – Butterfingers. Eli Manning got to go to Disney World, Wes Welker got 900 butterfingers dropped in Boston’s Copley Square in his honor with a note reading, “Thank you Wes Welker.” Welker is receiving a lot of heat for his critical dropped pass in the waning moments of Super Bowl XLVI. Pawngo.com took credit for the stunt and the company was promptly fined for illegal dumping. Welker was not fined for the dropped pass, by the way.

NBA Handicapping: Will Bobcats Continue to Struggle?
by T.O. Whenham - 2/9/2012
It was going to be a frustrating year at times for the Charlotte Bobcats — we knew that going into the season. They had gotten much younger and less experienced when they dealt Stephen Jackson and Shaun Livingston on draft day, so growing pains were inevitable.

NHL Hockey Weekly Props Specials and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/9/2012
Remember when Scott Gomez was considered one of the best players in the NHL? The Alaskan center was one of the best two-way players in the league and was a huge part of two Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils teams in the early 2000s. His career season was in 2005-06 with New Jersey when Gomez put up career-highs in points with 84, goals with 33 and power-play goals with nine.
