IMAGINE: BASEBALL PARLAYS THAT HAVE

INCREDIBLE PAY-OUTS: BET $300 TO WIN $3850 etc.

ARE VERY POSSIBLE WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT...READ ON!!

Now that the Duke Blue Devils are out of the March Madness Tournament, we know that Baseball is here. They departed earlier than normal this year. They are usually around until the opening week of Baseball. With that in mind, let's take a quick refresher class on Wayne Allyn Root's Rules for Betting Baseball.

1) The first thing WAR does is check for the starting pitching rotation BEFORE the first game of the series. Wayne wants to see how the match-ups are laid out.

Wayne Allyn Root's Road to the Final Four Analysis

VCU: This is the same team that lost to Drexel, Georgia State, James Madison, Northeastern early in January. They are also the only team to win five NCAA tournament games and win by double-digits against four of them. They won as double-digit underdogs against both Purdue and Kansas.The Rams were made insulted by the National media for even being in this tournament. They answered by winning five games on the road to the Final Four by an average of 12 points.

BUTLER: Suffered through a tough three game losing streak at the end of January. But who cares? They have reeled off 13 straight wins coming into the Final Four as the hottest team remaining. They have also covered their last six games in a row. Butler has one of the nation’s best head coaches in Brad Stevens (Coach K's replacement down the road). The Bulldogs have one of the country’s premier guards in Shelvin Mack. They have one of the best leaders and clutch performers in senior power forward Matt Howard. They have a great chance of making it back to the Finals for the national-title game. The Bulldogs came up two points short last season against Duke. For the first time in the tournament, Butler will not be an underdog Saturday vs. VCU.

KENTUCKY: Has won 10 games in a row, including winning the SEC conference tournament. They knocked off Florida in the SEC title game (and then watched as Florida was placed as a higher seed). The Cats went out and beat a Big East team, Big Ten, and ACC squads to get where they are this Saturday. Brandon Knight paces the Wildcats and has proven "clutch". Coach John Calipari brings in the experience as he has now coached three schools (UMass, Memphis and UK) to the Final Four. As far as this Wildcat team, he'd rather them have talent tha

PARLAYS AND TEASERS ARE YOUR DOOM!!!

"A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE OFTEN PARTED".....DON'T BET PARLAYS!!

by RON MEYER

There are countless ‘sports services’ in the business of providing people with teasers and those rarely hit parlays. The fact is that crazy and high risk wagers keep sports books in business. Next time you are in Vegas, take a look at all the losing tickets you see spread over the sportsbook. It’s safe to assume that you will find the majority of these losing tickets are made up of such bets placed on parlays and teasers. Of all the sucker bets available to sports bettors, the parlay is king. ( the odds of hitting a 3-team parlay is 8-1 but they only pay you 6-1). Bettors are sucked in by the glamour of a huge payout. Most making wagers don't realize the edge on a straight wager can be reversed in the bettors favor by utilizing statistics and experts in the Sports Service business such as myself. I do this as an expert and a business. Ask your self the same question.....are you in this to make money...for entertainment or do you just guess and hope for the best?

Betting parlays reminds me of horse players. In sports betting we risk $1100 to make $1000. In betting horses and parlays, because of that big payoff lure, most try to risk $100 to make $1000. There is no mystery surrounding the world of parlays. Bettors are attracted to risking a small amount of money for large payouts. The mentality of these bettors is “Take a long-shot, get the easy score or move on.”

It is safe to assume that the greatest number of losing bets that a sportsbook accepts are exotic wagers of equal to or double the house minimum. This is because most bettors do not have a plan nor a bankroll set up for sports betting. They don't recognize this as a business.

KEY INJURY CAN HAVE GAMETIME RAMIFICATIONS

KEY INJURY CAN HAVE GAMETIME RAMIFICATIONS

COACH SAYS ONE MUST BE ABLE TO ADAPT TO CONDITIONS AT ONCE!!

Ohio State: Terrelle Pryor Playing with Slightly Torn PCL....is this a concern in the Rose Bowl???

"sometimes I can have trouble making some types of cuts,” Pryor told the media. “It’s not really a big deal. It’s just a little sore. It’s fine. When I’m in the game or at practice, I don’t really worry about it, to tell you the truth.”

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has revealed he partially tore a ligament in his knee, claiming it didn't slow him down much while leading the Buckeyes to the Big Ten title. Pryor says he's hurting everywhere at the close of his sophomore season, which ends Friday in the Rose Bowl against No. 7 Oregon. But he says he's feeling sharper after two sluggish practices in Los Angeles with the eighth-ranked Buckeyes.In an affable session with reporters Monday morning, Pryor admitted he has a partial tear in his posterior cruciate ligament, touching his left knee for emphasis, but not confirming which knee is hurt. Ohio State hadn't mentioned a knee injury for Pryor, only acknowledging an injured ankle against New Mexico State.

COACH MEYER FURTHER STATED THAT JUST BECAUSE THE QB SAYS HE'S ALRIGHT.....DOES NOT MAKE HIM ALRIGHT. AND IT DOES 2 THINGS:

1) THERE'S THE CONFIDENCE FACTOR WITH THE OPPOSING TEAM

2) IT MAKES THE OPPOSITION THINK THEY WANT TO TACKLE HIM ON THAT INJURED KNEE.

The bottom line is to keep doing your homework to find any nugget of information that's out there. I will be updating Owens condition all week long. keep coming back and see it this becomes an issue, a play or a pass!

A-Play Week 5 NFL Chip Shots

A-Play Chip Shots- by Chip Chirimbes

NFL WEEK 5- Having the opportunity to watch almost every play in every game you often get to see some amazing plays, calls and just outright stupid things happen. Here are a few things that I noticed this week.

New York Giants at Houston Texans- The new 'Genius' in NFL quarterbacking has got to be Eli Manning because what happened here is not the first time that he's done it this year. The Giants had the ball third and eight on his own four yard line Eli chooses to waste a timeout to save a two yard 'Delay of Game' penalty. The 'Genius' decided that those two yards were more important then one of only three time outs he has each half. To me it just doesn't make sense, take the two-yard penalty.

Green Bay Packers at Washington Redskins- This has more to do with a player, the Packers' Charles Woodson arguing strenuously about a pass interference penalty call in over-time which put Washington into 'can't miss' field goal range. So insistent was Woodson that team-mates had to subdue him to prevent an unsportsmanlike penalty. Upon replay it was so obvious that Woodson had committed the penalty that he not only was interfering with the receiver before the ball arrived but was pulling him down via a 'horse collar' neck tackle. Another classless professional athlete that can't accept responsibility for his actions.

Worst Head Coach of ALL time- I have to say that their have many who I thought were the 'worst' Head Coach in the NFL going back to the days where Wade Phillips would be a candidate. Guys like Dave Wannstedt, Lou Saban, Herm Edwards, Rich Kotite and Art Shell were terrible but none compare with t

Ross Benjamin's CBB Executive Line

My college basketball Executive Line is currently 57-34 (62.6%) on the season as monitored by The Sports Watch of Las Vegas. If you are an advocate of following The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma you won't see me monitored their for personal reasons. In any event right now I am #1 in college basketball in North Amercia. Nickel players are up $9800.00 for the year and Dime players a cool $19,600.00! Last night was a perfect 2-0 with Indiana/Wisconsin over the total and Louisiana Tech/Utah St. over the total. If you have the ability to play college basketball totals, are concerned with just winning, and not concerned with having to watch every game you wager on then don't keep leaving money on the table.

Ross Benjamin's Blog of the Week

In spite of wining on the Chicago Bears as my 50* Divisional Round Game of the Year on Sunday, I actually felt a bit sorry for Matt Haselback. I thought he threw the ball exceptionally well yesterday and was the victim of an inexperienced receiving corps not giving him much help. Kudos to Hasselback who took a lot of heat this season from Seattle fans but played terrific in both playoff games...Contrarily even though Jay Cutler had a fine game statistically I felt he really was lucky to get away with a few throws. If he duplicates those blunders next week against a very opportunistic Green Bay defense he won't be quite as lucky... By the way is it me? Why would Mike Martz call a halfback option pass by Ike Forte being up 28-3. The Bears were running the ball exceptionally well and were driving inside of Seahawks territory. The ball was intercepted and the Seahawks proceeded to drive for a touchdown off of that turnover to give them a ray of hope. Again calls like this against Green Bay given the circumstances will be very costly.

For you people out there who don't believe in NFL angles, or don't know the difference between an angle and a trend. You can stick this in your pipe and smoke it. Any playoff away underdog (Seattle) that was coming off a playoff home underdog SU win is now 0-10 SU&ATS since the 1982 playoffs. The average margin of victory by the favorite in that situation going into yesterday was by 19.7 points per game. If you watched yesterday's game you know the game wasn't as close as the 35-24 score would indicate.

I took a lot of criticism from clients yesterday who questioned my selection on the Jets +9.0. There's no way that line should've been that high to start with. It's always easy to say after the fact. However the books banked on the fact the general public would jump all over New England based on their 45-3 thrashing of the Jets in the first week of December. Truth told that playoff teams that play good defense, have a solid run

Tony's Takes - The Final Four

By Tony George

Well, it is official, and do NOT lie gents, your bracket is all shot to hell and back after last week’s results. What a March Madness and Sweet 16 to now. Kansas craps down their leg, Duke looks like a JUCO team, Arizona comes up short with seconds left as U Conn’s unreal run continues, and VCU has flat out shocked the world. Kentucky has won 2 brutal games in which they more or less dominated North Carolina and held off overall number seed Ohio State to get here, giving them the most impressive resume. Well, maybe!!

Let’s talk VCU and this improbable journey. They have dominated every team they have played, starting with the play-in game with USC.How Sweet it is - The Final 16

By Tony George

Here we go gents. After all the heart attacks, cussing in public bars, and violent tossing of remote controls, and throwing up of excess beer and chicken wings after Thursday through Sunday games in March Madness, it boils down to the Sweet 16. Yes, many improbable results and teams like VCU, Marquette, Richmond and Arizona take their place alongside the most storied basketball programs in sports like North Carolina, Kansas, Duke, and U Conn which these unlikeliest aforementioned teams killed many a bankroll from a sports gaming perspective along the way. Morehead State killed more brackets than Attila the Hun did people!

I would count Butler in there as a “out of nowhere team”, but remember, they are the NCAA runner up champions and not to my surprise, are still hanging around like a bad head cold. Many of you cannot see the forest because of all the trees in the first 2 rounds, but the picture, while much clearer, it still slightly cloudy with a chance of rain.
