Super Bowl - Saints

I like the Saints for several reasons. I think that the Saints are actually better than the Colts. The Colts captured a lot of media -- and public -- attention with their run at a perfect season. Although they a few "meaningless" games at the end of the season, many consider them "perfect."

The Saints have put up some monster numbers and are a truly "live dog."

Public sentiment is clearly on the veteran Colts, but there seems to be value on the Saints. In addition, I found this sports psychology angle to be interesting:

Sports Betting Websites I like

As we start a new year, and as we get this blog started, I thought I would share a few of my favorite websites.

• Covers.com is a great website. Lots of content and articles, some of the best sports betting forums on the internet -- and great stats. In particular, this is the first site I go to when I want to study value and performance against the spread.
• Sportsinsights.com is also a site I use a lot. Their betting percentages and research are great tools. I use their betting percentages to get a feel for "public perception" and "public sentiment." These are some of the best tools out there -- and after years studying the sports gambling world -- might be one of the best edges available. The edge is not much -- but it is "real."

Good luck.

Happy Holidays

Just a quick note to send "Season's Greetings" from my family to your.

Please let us know what kind of information you are most interested in. We understand that football is very popular -- and that baseball is still the "national past-time." We'll also post for major sporting events like March Madness.
