For the Early Line Moves, we seek out the earliest lines and compare them on late Tuesday nights numbers to see what the so-called Line Movers do. By and large their track record is solid and dependable. I’ve noticed what looks to be public money showing up as well early, like Penn State today. It might well be correct but my contacts tell my most of the big plays are favoring Purdue. I will say however that money is coming late. I added another site to visit on sidebar called Sports Insights, I think you will like it. Last week in college football, they were below average 2-4 on sides and outstanding 7-1 in college totals. This makes season record 23-16-1, 58.9 percent on sides and 18-10, 64.2 percent on Totals in CFB. In the NFL, they were 1-0 on sides bringing record to 7-3, 70.0 percent. On the Totals a 1-3 week makes the updated figure 5-7, 41.6 percent. Enjoy reading and closely follow these numbers for wagering portfolio.

October 2 Betting Info and other Thoughts
A solid 2-1 Hump Day at 3Daily Winners. We’ll start with a stupendous Top Trend to consider in MLB action today that is 15-1. Our System play looks at the NFL, specially a road favorite in a very favorable position. Good Luck.
On a personal note, I’m a life long Cubs fan and have liked the Angels for a number of years, sort of my adopted AL team. Last night could not have been anymore disappointing. You play 162 games to get to the playoffs and in nine innings a team, is in serious trouble.
Ryan Dempster was too jacked emotionally and if all of you could have heard me, I thought to myself, he’ll probably groove one for grand salami. Now the Cubs pitch the volatile Carlos Zambrano, which means anything is possible including losing.
In the other game, John Lester was awesome and Boston made great defensive plays behind him. Vlad Guerrero did make a stupid base-running error, but reliever Scott Shields compounded the problem by not shutting Boston down. He drives me nuts almost every time I see him pitch. It’s probably been two season since I’ve seen him go 1-2-3. The Halos too are up against it, having to win Friday, staring at Josh Beckett in Game 3 in Boston.
Free Football System-1) PLAY ON road teams like New England off an upset loss by 14 points or more as a favorite, in weeks 5 through 9. This sweet little system is 25-6 ATS, 80.6 percent the last nine years.
Free Baseball Trend -2) James Shields and his Tampa Bay teammates are 15-1 against the money line as a favorite of -150 or more this season.
Free Football Selection -3) Sal played Tampa Bay today, however since the game had already started by the time we got the information, no play here. Just over 70 percent of the Left Coast Connection guys are on Utah -11 tonight.

White Sox vs Tampa Bay Preview
Think back to March of this year, the chances of Tampa Bay and the Chicago White Sox winning their divisions were about as good as an Alaskan governor being on a presidential ticket. Yet as October begins, all three of these unlikely events have occurred. Think about it, Tampa Bay had the worst record in baseball last season, losing 96 games, and was expected to finish below .500 again this year. The Rays had never won more than 70 games or finished higher than fourth in their division, yet went from worst to first in a division that included the Yankees and Red Sox.Though not as stirring, the White Sox story is still compelling. After finishing 72-90 in 2007, Chicago was presumed to have a sore neck, looking up at Detroit and Cleveland all season. Instead, the White Sox young starting pitchers matured, the bullpen solidified for the most part and the big thumpers started hitting home runs again. The addition of several new everyday players like Carlos Quentin, Alexei Ramirez and Orlando Cabrera helped put them over the top.
Managers Ozzie Guillen and the Rays Joe Maddon are about as different as Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. The Sox skipper has not met a microphone he wouldn’t speak into and Maddon is just a long time baseball guy, who was the perfect fit for a young team that needed an anchor in the dugout.
TBS announcers John Smoltz and Ron Darling see similarities to past teams about Tampa Bay. "I think [the Rays] mirror the [last-to-first] 1991 Braves in the sense that they have young pitching that looks, from afar, really talented, and barring any health issues they should be able to stay together for quite some time," said Smoltz. "People in baseball who have played them could see this coming. You never know when a team is going to turn it around; you never know when a team is going to click.”
Darling went further back in the way-back machine, drawing comparison to '69 Mets. “Because you're talking about, traditionally, a team that's almost been the laughing stock of the division," Darling said. "From top to bottom they've done an amazing job drafting and trading for veterans such as Cliff Floyd.”
Peter Gammons said back in spring training, Tampa Bay was the most athletic team in baseball and could finish over .500. They easily surpassed that number thanks to solid young starting pitching, a complete bullpen and an offense that is more National League in style. The Rays don’t throw a lot of flashy numbers around offensively, however were second in walks in the American League and six players had on-base percentage of .345 or higher.
The White Sox will come battle tested, having to win last three games just to be here, after losing five in a row. Chicago still has several players from the 2005 World Series championship team and has the long ball which can alter any contest in a moments notice.
My Take: Whoever gives up home field advantage is probably sunk. Tampa Bay was the best in baseball at 57-24 and the Pale Hose were fourth at 54-28. Teams that have the ability to manufacture runs are normally in better shape in the postseason, then power teams, who can be shut down by better pitching. The White Sox are only 4-15 in last 19 games on the fake grass, batting .227. Tampa Bay has a decided edge with its first two pitchers at home and Guillen has to burn Buehrle on the road as opposed to pitching him at home where he’s fantastic. Hard to fathom Chicago winning three in a row if they drop the first two at the Trop.

Free October 1 Sports Plays
My free play ended up being about as close as Sarah Palin being able to see Russia from her kitchen window. Today we have a system that works by using reverse thinking in order to achieve a 54-13 record. We have a Top Trend in CFB tonight and Sal from the Left Coast Connection has a series winner as Free Play. Good Luck.
Free Baseball System-1) PLAY AGAINST road underdogs like Boston with a money line of +100 or higher, starting a pitcher like John Lester who gave up one or less earned runs last outing, against opponent with a cold starting pitcher like John Lackey, with a WHIP of over 2.000 over his last three starts. The belief here is why would Angels be favored in this situation, based on the pitching matchup? This system is 54-13, 80.6 percent the last five years including 12-3 in 2008.
Free Football Trend -2) Boise State is 7-0 ATS in home games off an upset win as an underdog, winning by an average of over 28 points per game.
Free Baseball Selection -3) Sal ended up being +55.9 units in baseball for the regular season and is playing Philadelphia to win the series against Milwaukee.

Betting Outlook for MLB Playoffs
Milwaukee vs Philadelphia PreviewThe Milwaukee Brewers rolled the dice, almost in the literal sense. After losing four straight games to Philadelphia, the Brewers management made a stunning move in firing Ned Yost and naming third base coach Dale Sveum their manager for the rest of season with only 12 games left in the regular season. This was a team desperate to taste post-season action after 25 long years. A 3-11 September start and the real prospect of losing two best pitchers to free agency, the time to win was now.
The shock of it all might have cost Milwaukee a bit at first, as they lost four of next five; however an 8-1 win at Cincinnati in the last road game of the year turned the tables. The Brewers ended up winning six of last seven and when the New York Mets couldn’t muster ninth inning rally on Sunday, Miller Park fans acted like they were giving out free beer being so joyous.
What Sveum did was alter a few elements of the line-up and even with a starting pitching staff in tatters; he instituted “all hands on deck” for pitchers, meaning everyone had to be ready each day. "If anyone can handle it, he can," said Hall of Famer Robin Yount, Sveum's best friend. "He is the right guy, I'm telling you. I've known him too long and he has the personality for this. He's unflappable, and he's like that all the time."
Waiting is another cool customer in Phillies skipper Charley Manuel. He’s more the old-school type, quiet, patient, with a full understanding of a 162-game schedule. This Philadelphia team lost saw two of its starting pitchers go sideways in Adam Eaton and Brett Myers, both sent to the minors. Myers has returned to be one of the Phils best pitchers. Having one of the best hitting teams in baseball, playing in an extremely friendly hitter’s park, mysteriously the offense disappeared for over two months, even Robert Stack (Unsolved Mysteries) couldn’t have helped.
Manuel never wavered, believed he had the talent on the field and his team proved him right in winning second NL East title in a row.
The Brewers can win if they hit. C.C. Sabathia will pitch again on three days rest, but he appears locked in and accepting the challenge. That means the rest of the starters will be asked to get by and if Milwaukee bats can stay hot, they can be in every ballgame. The bullpen will play a key element, being uncertain commodity most of the year. The Brew Crew will face two lefties in first three games and are 33-20 against them this season.
The Phillies win by holding down home field advantage and beating up on Milwaukee pitching that is hanging on by a thread. Philadelphia is playing tremendous baseball right now, winning 13 of last 16. The starting pitching has been strong down the stretch and the bats lively. One huge edge is the bullpen, which was the best in the National League until August, went thru a rough period and rebounded in September.
Key Trends- Milwaukee is 2-10 vs. good power teams averaging 1.25 or more home run a game this season. Philadelphia is 20-9 against NL starting pitchers who have WHIP of 1.250 or better this season.
My Take – If Milwaukee steals Game 1, they will have a real shot, with Sabathia pitching second contest. The confidence level of both teams is high at present, yet in the past, neither has shown much an inclination to be steady when it matters most, which could be especially true in a five game series. Philadelphia has won eight of last 11 meetings at Citizens Bank Park against Milwaukee and had the best road record in the senior circuit at 44-37, thus the edge goes to the Phillies.

L.A. Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs Preview
The storylines for this NLDS series are juicer than Morton’s steak. The Chicago Cubs well-documented failures over the last century have been a central theme for those following the club. After years of ownership not carrying about winning, the Cubs got in the game and have built a team WORTHY of making the World Series. The team manager Lou Pinella has does not have any dramatic weakness and has many positives. This was the most dominant team in baseball, based on run differential at +184.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were an emotionless bunch, with on-field demeanor of not being too high (excited about winning) or too low (upset about losing). That all changed when they acquired Manny Ramirez. Manny brought a professional approach to hitting and batted .398 in his 50 games with the Dodgers. His desire to win and enthusiasm for enjoying winning was the right elixir for young talented players like Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, Russell Martin and James Loney.
The Cubs win the series if they keep playing as they have all season. Ryan Dempster is opening game starter and has been virtually unbeatable at Wrigley Field with 14-3 record (Cubs16-4 all home starts). Carlos Zambrano has to pitch more like the hurler who threw no-hitter, not the one who has been ineffective his last two starts. All Chicago pitchers must not let Ramirez beat them, better to take chances with younger hitters.
The Dodgers can pull the upset, due to starting pitching and Ramirez. Pitchers Derek Lowe, Chad Billingsley and Hiroki Kuroda each has been pitching effectively. Lowe, in particular has been outstanding, with one loss in last nine starts, allowing a total of seven runs. If Dodgers can win Game 1, they have Chicago on their heels immediately. Ramirez can be the lightning rod and manager Joe Torre the calm leader, now in his 13th consecutive postseason assignment.
Two angles to consider in this series -The Dodgers are 4-12 against the money line vs. teams outscoring opposition by one or more runs a game on the season. Chicago is 38-15 against vs. poor power teams averaging less than a home run per game
My Take – The Cubs won five of seven during the regular season and had the best record in the National League at home with 55-26 mark. Chicago took all three games at home, however that was in late May. Chicago is the better team and though these players are not responsible for the last 100 years of failure, they are well aware of it. The Dodgers can’t match the North Siders talent, but can play loose and unencumbered of expectations. If Cubs open with victories at home, series over, however one loss means this could go distance.

Boston vs L.A. Angels Preview
The Los Angeles Angels ended with the best record in baseball, winning 100 games for the first time in team history and for their efforts they drew the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Los Angeles was swept away by Boston last year and redid elements of their roster to hopefully ensure that doesn’t happen again.
Lacking power in the lineup, they acquired Torii Hunter from Minnesota. Hunter has brought another powerful bat to the lineup and has been perennial Gold Glove centerfielder. Hunter, who is loose and care-free off the field, added mental toughness to a team in search of such a player. The final piece was first basemen Mark Teixeira, who brought depth to the middle of the batting order, hitting in front of Vladimir Guerrero. This gave manager Mike Scioscia the power and versatility he needed to play ball in whatever manner that was necessary.
The Halos have five quality starting pitchers, with Jered Weaver, likely the odd man out having a so-so season. John Lackey will be the opening game starter, with the goal being to get to the ninth inning and have the single season all-time saves leader Francisco Rodriguez take care of the rest. This is a team that had the best record on the road at 50-31 and won 30 of 43 games as an underdog.
Standing in the Angels path are the Boston Red Sox. After 86 years of futility, Boston has won two World Series in the last four years and has gone from prima donnas to being noted for guts, talent and the heart to survive and advance in October. Manager Terry Francona has done another masterful job, dealing with long term injuries from the start of the season, yet was able to squeeze out 95 victories.
Experience and adaptability are the notable features of this team and trade of Manny Ramirez helped both teams, as a more even-keeled Jason Bay brought productively and a solid citizen to the Red Sox clubhouse. "It was real special this year because of all the injuries, the trials and tribulations to get to where we're at," said closer Jonathan Papelbon. "All that matters is that you get in. I like our chances now that we're in."
The Angels gained a great deal of confidence this season, wining eight of nine against Boston. The Red Sox arrive in L.A. with question marks, Mike Lowell will be playing through a partial tear in the labrum of his right hip and J.D. Drew's back has become more unpredictable than the New England autumn weather. Josh Beckett was to be the first game starter, but pulled and oblique muscle and instead has been moved back to Game 3 at Fenway Park. Instead Jon Lester will take the ball for Boston.
My Take – This would make a great World Series, let alone an opening round series. These might be the two best teams in baseball when you breakdown the components of what each has to offer in the postseason. Despite the Red Sox continued success, like the fact the Angels didn’t mail it in September, winning 14 of last 20, while getting ready for postseason. Injuries can play a role in the outcome and the Red Sox do have hobbling players. Would not be surprised if the series went the distance, with the team from Anaheim emerging victorious.

Don’t Follow Bad College Football Fundamentals
When university presidents decided to add a 12th football game to the regular season it was done so for one reason, put more money in everyone's pockets. Football fans were excited about the idea of an additional football game for the teams they watched and followed and those who love the sport were thrilled with the potential of more quality matchups in non-conference action. At the same time, these visionaries(?)that run college football decided to change the names of Division 1-A and Division 1-AA to FBS and FCS, causing uproar for what appeared to be senseless change.Now with a chance to understand history, we see these men and women were much smarter than I gave them credit for (or maybe I’m giving them too much credit) by making a name change. These men of hirer learning had inside information that most all of the teams they govern over were not about to make their lives more difficult by playing harder opponents, but rather would dip into the pool of teams below them. On the rare occasion a school from the big boy table losses to one from a lesser grouping it sounds so much better to lose to a FCS team than Division 1-AA, which has a more negative connotation.
What does this have to do with college football handicapping you ask, everything. One aspect of betting on sports is fundamental handicapping. This is the nuts and bolts of sports handicapping, where statistical analysis is done. This is where many smart bettors and handicappers find statistical edges in matchups that help them find winners, especially in the beloved underdog role.
With nearly every team not in the Sun Belt Conference having found their way to the FCS, the world of fundamental handicapping has been severely altered. (Note- Playing SBC teams are like playing state-run lotteries as compared to illegal off-shore wagering. It’s still gambling no matter how you look at it, but because the Sun Belt is FBS, it’s more tolerable)
Before the season began, the Indiana Hoosiers were supposed to finish either 10th or last in the Big Ten conference. After a successful season that included emotional bowl appearance for departed coach Terry Hoeppner, the talent level was believed to be pretty thin. The Hoosiers first three games were against Western Kentucky, FCS Murray State and Ball State. Indiana was plowed under at home by a very good Ball State squad that ran for 224 yards and passed for 239 yards against the Hoosiers. With Indiana having played two other inferior opponents and holding them to 101 total yards rushing, they were listed as 36th in the country in run defense. It’s pretty safe to say, the Hoosiers won’t be staying in this neighborhood and they have fallen again after Michigan State ran for 236 yards against them, dropping Indiana to 64th. Look out below!
Florida State is another team where it is nearly impossible to get a correct read on. The Seminoles are desperate to return to among the hierarchy of college football and scheduled not one, but two FCS teams to start 2008. At least Florida State whipped Western Carolina and UT-Chattanooga 69-0 and 46-7 respectively. Though everyone knew Bobby Bowden’s team was still living though academic suspensions and playing many sophomores and freshmen on the two deep, it was easy to wax nostalgic about the ‘Noles spearing foes like the old days. The Seminoles nation came to a crashing halt when they lost at home to Wake Forest as four-point favorites. The typical mistakes we have grown accustomed to seeing by Florida State were on display against a better more disciplined foe. After averaging 527.5 yards in the first two FCS contests, the Seminoles came back to earth, with 220 yards against the Demon Deacons. After that contest, Bowden’s bunch was still 17th in scoring offense and fraudulent 34th in total offense. This past week game against Colorado didn’t hurt Florida State, but it still has a ways to go to earn respect as Play On team.
One last example is the Kansas Jayhawks. Coach Mark Mangino’s club came into this season off a splendid campaign. Kansas has played one FCS team every year but one of Mangino’s seven seasons and this year Sam Houston State volunteered to be vanquished. The Bearkats are a passing team, rushing for only 45 yards. Florida International is one of the worst teams in the FBS world and they could muster only 66 yards rushing and 73 passing against the Jayhawks. As Kansas prepares for Iowa State this week, they are ranked 21st in run defense at 94.7 yards per game and in fact are nowhere near that talent-wise.
This is not a new revelation, as football programs throughout the decades have dodged quality opponents for years. Bill Snyder of Kansas State scheduled three wins every year in Manhattan, even after he didn’t need to. What’s different now is there is a better method of gauging tangible results. Playing schools in the same division at least comes with a point spread to use as basis. Too often many gamblers will peruse the team stats without going inside the numbers and are perplexed when they lose wagers in conference games on teams that had “good stats”. Fundamental handicapping is a tremendous way to ensure you are on the right side of any game. This provides a valued look at a team’s performance for the current season, both offensively and defensively in a variety of categories. What is most important is to have the right material in which to learn from, to make astute and wise, objective judgments. StatFox such product packaged to easily view what has happened to any particular team.
Winning at college football is never easy; it is even more difficult when you have deceptive information, from what appears to be a reliable sources.

The action starts to become light during weekdays at this time, thus different parts of what you will read here will be geared towards football weekend. Tonight we have very intriguing trends to consider in AL Central winner take all contest. I have an opinion on tonight’s contest, looking at the Total. You might want to make a note about today’s system for Saturday’s action. Good Luck.
Free Football System-1) PLAY ON Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points like Toledo, in conference games, off a upset loss as a double digit home favorite as they get ready to face unbeaten Ball State. This system is 29-7 ATS, 80.6 percent.
Free Baseball Trends -2) Something to ponder today. Minnesota is 15-3 against the money line when playing with a day off this season. Chicago is 17-4 in home games after scoring eight runs or more this season.
Free Baseball Selection -3) I will offer this opinion, the weather is expected to be cooler in Chicago; however trends suggest runs should be scored. The Chicago White Sox are 14-4 OVER in home games vs. a starting pitcher like Nick Blackburn who strikes out three or less batters (Avr. score total of 12.3 runs). The Minnesota right-hander and his teammates are 7-0 OVER in road games when playing against a team with a winning record this season (Avr. score total of 11 runs).

Not just another Betting Monday
All right, that’s what everyone wants, back-to-back 3-0 days. Our earlier system this week did lose, however 6-2 works for us and I’m sure you too. Hard to believe, yet we actually have a great system for Tigers/White Sox game today. The Top Trend looks into tonight’s Monday night contest and Kendall from the Left Coast Connection is torching the NFL windows and has intriguing strategy for tonight’s tilt. Good Luck.
Free Baseball System-1) PLAY ON home favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 like the White Sox, with a team batting average of .265 or worse on the season (AL), after a win by four runs or more. This system is 22-4, 84.6 percent the last three years.
Free Football Trend -2) Baltimore has failed to cover last eight road games.
Free Football Selection -3) Kendall delivered another winner with Tennessee and is incredible 17-2 in the NFL this season. I spoke to him today to get his opinion on tonight’s contest. He used an interesting strategy. Early in the week, he took Baltimore with the +7. After the line went down to +5, he thought six was the second best key number in what figures to be a low scoring game. He actually preferred Pittsburgh at that price for various reasons and bet slightly more on the Steelers at that price. In the end, he hopes Pittsburgh wins by six points to get the middle and wins a little bit if they cover by more and losses a little if Baltimore covers. Solid wagering method in my book.
