Value Jockeys for Horse Racing Betting
January 15, 2008
If you are looking to cash more tickets at the track then maybe you should start looking for value jockeys. These are the guys that are just as good as the 6 or 7 guys on any racing circuit but don’t have the same reputation and thus don’t get mounted on the prestigious horses. Of course the horse plays the most important role. They are like the star players on the best football, basketball, and baseball teams. In horse racing, it’s the horse that makes the jockey and the trainer,...
2008 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Predictions & Odds
January 15, 2008
Even without Tigers Woods at the 2008 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic there will still be a decent field for the five-round pro-am event. If you are interested in doing any golf betting on this week’s tournament then you should note Mike Weir is the favorite. Weir won this event back in 2003 and finished fourth at the Mercedes-Benz Championship earlier this month. Now Weir isn’t the favorite that you would normally come to expect out of PGA events since Woods is listed at even money at most...

Creighton Northern Iowa NCAA Basketball Picks
January 15, 2008
Time to pick things up a little bit on the NCAA floor. Here is my one play for tonight. Creighton +1 Northern Iowa has lost three straight games and now they get Creighton, a team that has won seven straight and nine out of their last ten against them. Creighton is also playing really well right now with three straight wins and victories in seven of their last nine games. They are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games and should give the Panthers trouble with their stifling defense. Overall Record...

January 14, 2008
Overall record 8-7 (+30 units) Took yesterday off on the pro hardcourt since there weren’t any plays that really jumped out at me, and I’m being choosy again today with just one game that I’m liking. Chicago Bulls +6.5 at Orlando The Bulls have alternated wins and losses over their last eight games as they just can’t seem to get something going then keep it going the next night. They lost to the Hawks on Sunday, so that means they are due for a win here against the Magic....

We are going with just one play for Sunday so let’s make it a good one. Oregon -2 The Ducks have gone 7-0 this season on their home floor and we like them to continue that streak today when they host Stanford.
