Dr. Bob Sports
Let's take a look at why I feel Dr. Bob Sports is one of the most reputable sports betting services in the industry. I have personally purchased his picks and would recommend his services to anyone that is looking for some sports betting help. Click here to visit his website for more information. Before going into the details of why I believe Dr. Bob Sports is one of the best handicappers out there today, I'd suggest checking out the How to Choose a Sports Betting Service Page. This will go over my personal checklist that I use in order to rate sports betting services. With that said, let's see how Dr. Bob Sports checks out against my criteria. In my opinion, he's one of the most honest and reputable handicappers in the industry. Just by checking out his website, you can tell he isn't full of BS. I've known about Dr. Bob Sports for about 11 years now and have never had a bad experience with his services. He's up front and ethical with his approach to marketing and handicapping. He's been featured in the Wall Street Journal and written some great essays (that are posted on his website) about his handicapping philosophy as well as looking at sports betting as an investment. In my opinion, his money management approach, which I have used for years (with a few tweaks), is the best and most detailed I've run across. I have no problem recommending Dr. Bob Sports to anyone not only because of a great track record, but because he runs an honest and ethical handicapping service. He handicaps both football (NCAA and NFL) and basketball (NCAA and NBA). His track record is posted directly on the website but he'll always email it to you if you're unable to find exactly what you're looking for. Since he began handicapping sports over 22 years ago, he's won 56% of his "Football Best Bets" and 55% of his "Basketball Best Bets." Now 56% may not seem like much but when you take into account the number of games he plays, but this can turn into a significant profit on a per season basis. He'll rate his bets anywhere between 1-5 stars with the vast majority being 2-3 stars, so you'll need to figure out the proper amount to wager per star (check out the money management section for help with this.) As you can tell by looking at his records on an annual basis, he doesn't win every single year. As with anything though, you're going to go through some slumps but you must always look at sports betting as a long term investment. You won't find many other handicappers that will show you both their winning and losing seasons. He also releases strong opinions and math model plays as well, (which are both successful) but they aren't included in his overall win percentages. Dr. Bob Sports has been in business and handicapping games since 1987. As you can tell by reading his essays, he's learned a lot over that time and applied it to his overall sports betting (investing) philosophy. Another nice thing about his service is that he posts his sports betting (investing) philosophy right on the site. He covers his money management approach as well as how he goes about handicapping games. When researching possible "Best Bets", he takes into account value handicapping, his own power ratings and statistical math model, line moves, technical and fundamental analysis, as well as trends. He goes into each in much more detail on the site, but implements a combination of all of them to handicap both football and basketball. When it comes to his write ups on games, he probably has the most comprehensive I've ever seen. Not only does he do this for all of his "Best Bets" but he also does it for every game on the board for both NFL and College football. Something I always look for when choosing a service is finding one that bets on their own picks right along with the client or as I like to say "eating their own cooking." I can assure you Dr. Bob is right beside his clients, betting every game that he releases. Stay far far away from those handicappers that won't even bet their own money on their own picks. Dr. Bob Sports handicaps the NFL, NCAA Football, the NBA, and NCAA Basketball. As I said earlier, he is very thorough in his analysis and write ups, which makes it helpful to know where he's coming from. As far as what he's best at, it's pretty close across the board. His long term track record in football is 56%, while it's 55% in basketball, so you can see that he's very consistent in all sports he handicaps. I personally utilize his football picks a little more than his basketball picks though (not for any particular reason). In his NCAA Football "Best Bets" (and Strong Opinions), with his current math model since 2004, he has won 58.4% of his "Best Bets" on a unit basis and 55.6% of his Strong Opinions. If I had to narrow it down to one sport, I'd say that he's probably best at college football with the other sports close behind. Accounting for the cost of a sports service is a very important factor that should go into your money management philosophy. Dr. Bob Sports offers a number of different subscriptions. I feel that the cost of his service is extremely reasonable considering what you're getting out of it. He offers a number of different subscriptions ranging from the entire season of a sport to one day packages. Check out the subscription page for more information. You'll obviously need to put a little more money down but I always recommend purchasing an entire season if you're serious about getting the full benefit of a sports betting service. It'll always be the lowest cost per day no matter what handicapper you choose. As I've said before, you need to look at sports betting as a long term investment and if you're only buying picks randomly then you aren't utilizing the full benefit of that service. A handicapper will have hot and cold streaks throughout the year, so if your just buying them aimlessly, you're not benefiting from their entire track record and taking full advantage of the service. I'll say it again just because I truly feel it's that important; If you're going to employ the services of a professional handicapper then it's important that you purchase their picks for an entire season. They offer very strong customer service but most importantly, you're able to speak with Dr. Bob directly with any questions. You can contact them either by 800 number or by email. From past experience I can tell you that messages and emails will be quickly responded too. Dr. Bob Sports is one of the best sports betting services in the industry. I have used them personally and would recommend them to anyone looking for up front and honest advice with a proven record of winning. Check out the website by clicking here.
