About Me

Do you really want to know about me? My name is Doug Upstone. I’ve been involved in the sports handicapping in some form or another entire adult life.

Nobody, I repeat nobody, watches and studies the games more than I do. I have game notes and observations dating back almost two decades. I’m a process person, meaning I have power ratings in different sports and like to determine if the lines are accurate, and I definitely start with the fundamentals when handicapping games.

This blog will be about people wanting to learn about sports. I’ve worked diligently to get to this point and have a group of “friends” who are not afraid to wager on sports, they are good and have the cash to back it up. Their selections will be on this site in the not too distant future. The actual creator behind this blog is Paul Buck, who has a strong desire to stay out of the limelight, and is part of the Left Coast Connection, which will be explained later.

Of course a blog is about writing and reading, I’ve learned the basic concepts of both. The whole point is to learn something you didn’t know and have it be useful in your knowledge of sports and wagering if you care to.
