Rocketman
My Handicapping and Betting Philosophy: I use my own unique power ratings for each sport along with trend analysis, stats and line value. I take a different approach for every sport I handicap. Keep in mind that you should think long-term profit. You’re not going to win every day, every week or even every month. If you follow my selections exactly as I release them, you will make a good long term profit in all sports and that has been proven with my results over the years. Also, don’t forget how important money management and discipline is in making serious money in this business.
My Special Achievements in Handicapping: I was the No. 1 documented “Overall Handicapper” in 2004 at Professional Handicappers League. I was part of a team of experts that finished No. 2 in the famous Las Vegas Hilton NFL Superbook Contest in 2003 winning $83,300 – finishing a half point out of first place. I have also had several No. 1 finishes in various sports and numerous Top 5 and Top 10 finishes at several monitors.
My Most Memorable Moment: I won 17-straight NBA games a few years ago. Biggest Win of my Career: I feel like every win is a big one. Back in 1998, Denver started the season off 13-0. Denver then had to play at the NY Giants whose record was 5-8 at the time. Denver was installed as 12 1/2 point road favorite. I told my clients that the NY Giants would beat Denver outright and they won the game straight up 20-16. After I released, I don’t think I had ever had so many clients call the office asking me if I had lost my mind but we cashed once again.
Toughest Loss of my Career: I had a huge play on Tampa Bay on Monday Night Football a few years back and I think they were playing Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. Tampa Bay had a huge lead of around 17 points or so and blew it and the cover with less than four minutes left in the game.
Favorite Team(s) to Play or Fade: I really don’t have a favorite team to play or fade. During the season you will find teams to play on or to fade until the oddsmakers catch up with you. Everyday gives you a unique opportunity and I never know if I will play 10 games or pass until the card is handicapped thoroughly.
What You Can Expect From Me: I am very selective with my premium plays. I research the entire card finding the plays that make me a winner year after year. I am one of the few honest services in the business filled with scammers. My ability to pick winners consistently is second to none and with my money management system you will maximize your profits week in week out.
