American League
*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

East

Its evident that both the Yankees and the Red Sox have weaker line-ups than last year.
However, both Bull-pens look very interesting and rich.
Boston's Outfielder Ellsbury will be very interesting to watch.
All eyes will be on Yankees RP Chamberlain!

Toronto is not looking like their improving... the only thing that brings them closer is the weakening of the two greater teams.
The one and only team in this division that will improve is the Tampa Bay Devil Rays .
Kazmir and Shields make up a great 1-2. and the bullpen is actually stronger:
T. Percival (Closer)
A. Reyes <<----This guy is an ace
G. Glover
D. Wheeler <<----this #4 shows how deep this bullpen is.
Upton, Pena and Crawford, make this team actually capable of competing for top spot in this division.... if not this year, then the next, and furthermore. How interesting it will look with Tampa Bay above Boston in this division.

Bet on Tampa Bay = 67.00 (67/1)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Central

Miguel Cabrera was a huge addition to Detroit, and yes,
Verlander is a year older. Zumaya holds up the bullpen.
A lot of people see this team as the best team in baseball, i do not.
This division still holds the Clevland Indians who are as strong as they were last year. The White Sox made some key improvments, that will put some serious runs up on the scoreboard. The Bullpen however does not look as promising.
Things are very exciting in Minnesota as well, despite loosing Johan.
That bullpen is cetainly one to envy.
Last but not least, the Kansas City Royals. Improved, no doubt, but their gonna need to improve a lot more in the years to come if they wanna compete with the teams in their division.

Detroit : 1.72
Clevland : 2.62
Chicago : 10.00
Minnesota : 13.00
Kansa City : 51.00

Bet what you will, I will avoid this division at this time.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

West

Felix Hernandez, Bedard and Putz are 3 of the absolute elite pitchers in the game, the only reason Seattle can't win this division is its lack of depth, both in the field, and in its pitching staff.
The Angels are too rich in players.
Escobar, Lackey, Jered Weaver, Saunders, Garland and Santana are their Starters ....they will also hold a luxury of trading one of them for a bat when the time comes if needed.... the certainly won't need an Outfielder though. Vladimir Guerrero, Torri Hunter, Gary Mathews Jr., Garret Andersons(DH), Reggie Willits and Rivera make up the richest outfield in baseball.
Lets not forget the fastest throwing closer in the game, RP Fransisco Rodriguez.
Mr.Shields will be setting him up, and Spier for the 7th.
The team is elite and World series prone.
Are the summer time blues innevitable for the Texas Rangers?
Maybe they should move the franchise.
At the pit of this division and baseball, we find the Oakland A's.

Bet on the LA Angels = 1.40

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
East

The New York Mets are the best team in baseball IMO.
They would be listed by me, as the favorites even if they hadn't picked up Johan Santana.
I've consistently made money of Johan's losses these past 2 years, but with the Mets, and in the National league, things look quite different.


Bet on the Mets = 1.47

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm not even gonna go into the rest of the teams in the National league as I believe that this race has already been won.

[W.HI.P]

Too late to give the Werder Bremen win over Rangers in the Uefa Cup.
They are simply superior, and at home.

NHL
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ottawa Senators @ Montreal Canadiens

Montreal seems to be the best team in the Eastern Conference.
This win, again, will put them all alone in 1st place.
The team is more than it seems.
Its not just the skating.
The defence... all 3 lines are full of starters.
Ottawa is less than Montreal as a whole.

Bet on the Canadiens = 1.65

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Vancouver Canucks @ Phoinex Coyotes

There are huge differences between these two teams at this time.
Phoinex is a play-off calibure team while Vancouver is simply bad.
I'd be very suprised if this game isn't over by mid 2nd period.

Bet on the Coyotes = 1.85

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Ottawa blanked Montreal and Phoinex Shut-out Vancouver.

Phoinex Coyotes @ Vancouver Canucks

Phoinex's upcoming games are against Edmonton, Vancouver, Edmonton and the LA. Kings.
You can expect Phoinex to win at least 3 of those games.
Phoinex will focus everything on their game against Vancouver.
Expect Bryzgalov to rest in one of the two games against the Oilers.
Expect Bryzgalov to get another shut out against the Canucks.
Phoinex is ranked #4 in the NHL in road games.

Bet on the Coyotes = 2.30

[W.HI.P]

Latest result......
Phoinex Coyotes 1-3 Vancouver Canucks = Loss

March Madness!
Now, I'm not saying that North Carolina is not capable of winning it, cause they are.
Hansbrough is a superstar, no doubt.
All I'm saying is that its a long road till the final, and given minor details that could occur within any given game, should this man, miss time ...even a little time, the rest of the team is not capable of competing at this level.
So, the #1favorite: North Carolina, is a no bet.
As I said before in this thread, Duke is not capable oif consistently hitting those % in long range shots.
Although Duke is capable of making the semi's, I would not bet on them beyond that point, so Duke is also a no bet.
UCLA? Are you kidding me? How on earth can this team win it? No bet.
Kansas!!! Now there's a team that can win it! Georgetown may prove to be great obstacles on Kansas's way to the finals. but...
Bet on Kansas = 6.00
Memphis, although not the best team, are a good bet, as they should take the south pretty easily as there are no competitive teams within.
Bet a bit on Memphis = 6.50
Tennessee deserves mentioning from this point on.
Bet a bit on Tennessee = 13.00
Indiana, although having N.Carolina as their opponents early on, are an amazing bet at that price as they are capable of beating the best of them!
Bet on Indiana = 81.00

Bet on Tampa Bay = 67.00 (67/1)

This is the big money maker for this season.
I know for a fact that quite a few people took this.
Most people want to make a lot of money, so this was attractive.

The last month of the season will determine wether or not the Rays can hold on as they play 19 road games.
Tampa Bay is ranked #2 in baseball, and hold a 4.5 game lead in the AL East!

This one is still very open... looking back now, maybe the sox and twins prices could have been wagered on as they were high.

What can you say about the Angels?
Texeira will be a clutch addition on their way to the world series

They can still pull it off... I fear the Cubs for the national league more than the Phillies for the division.

Its looking really good for all of us who wagered on these.
Overall, its been an amazing year of baseball on a day to day basis.
It pays to own all the baseball chanel's.
You gotta watch if you'e gonna be wagering cash.
Or at least you have to take advice from someone who's watching.

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Seattle Mariners
E.Santana - F.Hernandez

Felix is way too good to be paying this much.

Bet on the Seattle Mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

^^^That^^^ game went through, as Seattle won on the high price.

NFL Pre-season

Keep in mind that these are exhibition match-ups.
A team will play 1-2 drives with their starters and continue with their second and third string players.
Overall, the home team should have the advantage as far as the win is concerned.
Teams who have competition within for various position will play with greater effort.
Teams who rely on one superstar player should have a negative record in this pre-season.
I avoid wagering heavy money in the pre-season, I will give you one game though:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Fransisco 49ers vs Green Bay Packers

Things are looking very exciting in San Fransisco as the team is full of young talent.
The Packers on the other hand, finally got rid of the old man, and now can focus on the future.
Green Bay's year will see them in last place in their division.
The odds are even here, so we'll jump on the home side.

Bet on the San Fransisco 49ers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays
Byrd - Halladay

lol @ the Blue Jays being favorites in Boston.

Bet on the Boston Red Sox

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

The 49ers killed the Packers, while Toronto beat the Sox.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Texas Rangers vs Tampa Bay Rays
Nippert - Kazmir

This is not the time to be betting on the Rays with Crawford and Longoria out of the line up.
The Rays should be just below .500 in this next week, but they will be winning while Kazmir is pitching, as he is of the absolute elite.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Bucs vs New England Patriots

The 2nd half will be dominated by the Bucs as they are clearly superior with the rest of their lines.... The Patriots are out-matched.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Bucs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Both Tampa Bay teams won!
The Bucs beat up on the Patriots 25-10.
The Rays opened up a 4.5 game lead with their 7-4 win in Texas.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Giants vs Clevland Browns

If there is one team that i would say is the most well rounded team in the NFL, its the Browns.
They have the edge in most of these match-ups against the Giants.
Clevland's win pays a pretty penny!

Bet on the Clevland Browns

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

NFL 2008-2009 Season

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AFC
East

The New England Patriots are not being pushed so far by the media, so thats a positive.
What makes me wager on this division is the hype on Favre moving to New York.
The Jets should be 2-4 by week 6.
Reality holds the Buffalo Bills as the Patriots main opponents.
Miami is under construction.

Bet on the Buffalo Bills = 12.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

North

This is probably the best long term bet for this season as the Clevland Browns have no opponent.
The Bengals seem like the best of the rest, with their potent offence.
Their defence is still weak against the run, bu their thieving style defence should pay off in some games this year.
The Steelers defence remains solid, but the same can't be said about their OL which looks amongst the weakest in the game.
The Ravens are a question mark as far as their attack is concerned.
To me it looks kinda weak.

Bet on the Clevland Browns = 2.80

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

South

I've been very accurate with the Colts over the past 2 years, and yes they remain the favorites.
The Jacksonville Jaguars finally seem capable of winning this division.
I'm still hesitant on how well they will do with the ball, but their defence is the best of this division.
Houston will do well this year, but i'm not sure if they're ready to challenge for this division quite yet.
The Titans IMO will be the dispointment of this season.
They may hold some key players, but overall they seem to lack in too many positions.

Bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars = 3.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

West

The San Diego Chargers are capable of winning the superbowl, let alone this division, but the price is not attractive.
This year, if Tomlinson misses some time, they do not have Turner to back him up anymore.
Should the Chargers face problems this year, 1st place would be open for the Oakland Raiders!
Darren Mcfadden is ready to run over the NFL, and JaMarcus Russell despite lacking key recievers on this Raiders team will have an amazing career in the NFL.
The defence is solid...the Raiders will easily be the most improved team in football.
You can't expect the Broncos to improve too much as the huge holes remain.
The Chiefs have become a laughing stock in my eyes after signing Johnson to that unworthy contract.
The OL just keeps getting weaker, and I'm not too sure they can stop the run.... thats not a good thing when you have to face Tomlinson and Mcfadden, each on 2 occasions.

Bet on the Oakland Raiders = 11.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NFC
East

I've been accused of underestimating the Dallas Cowboys.
They are the heavy favorites here.
I'm an Eagles fan that is not optimistic this year.
Mostly because of the stiff competition in the division.
The Giants, although loosing key players, have made a few additions and will remain competitive.
The team that keeps making the right moves are the Washington Redskins. Their offence is better, but its the defence that has become a heavy weight, and should put them into the play-offs!

Bet on the Washington Redskins = 7.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

North

This division is very weak.
If you want to bet on the Minnesota Vikings, go ahead, they will probably win this division as Adrian Peterson is unstopable.
The price is too low for me given the fact that their pass defence is weak.
Its hard to say what team can compete this year from this division, but I will jump on the two highest prices as all teams have weak spots within.

Bet on the Chicago Bears = 5.00
Bet on the Detroit lions = 7.50

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

South

This is probably not a wise bet as the price is low, and the defence is full of holes.
Its the New Orlean Saints offence that makes me bet on this as Brees will inevitably have an amazing year with his multiple tools.
The offence should be so effective on short passes that it will rest this full of holes defence of theirs.
The competition isn't bad with the Panthers and Bucs.
The Falcons are far behind.

Bet on the New Orlean Saints = 2.10

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

West

I don't believe the Seahawks can win this division.
Its a weak division as the Rams are also under par.
Although neither team look capable of going far into the play-offs, Arizona has the tools, and the 49ers are the future of this division.

Bet on the Arizona Cardinals = 3.25
Bet on the San Fransisco 49ers = 7.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

AFC Conference

There are teams that are more capable of winning the AFC, but the value of winning with one of the following is very high.
I'm taking a gamble for some great profit this year.


Bet on the Clevland Browns = 17.00
Bet on the Oakland Raiders = 81.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NFC Conference

This conference is weak.

Bet on the New Orlean Saints = 9.00
Bet on the Washington Redskins = 15.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Superbowl

Don't get me wrong... the Chargers and Vikings are probably more capable of winning it.... I'm sure most of you have the Patriots and Cowboys on your minds.

Save your serious money for later on in the season when things will be more clear, for now, place some coins on some long shots as their value will drop should they do what I expect of them.

Bet on the New Orlean Saints = 21.00
Bet on the Washington Redskins = 34.00
Bet on the Clevland Browns = 34.00
Bet on the Oakland Raiders = 126.00
