New Dimension Sports

Before going into the details of why I believe Greg is one of the best handicappers out there today, I'd suggest reviewing our How to Choose a Sports Betting Service Page. This will go over my checklist that I use in order to rate sports handicappers. With that said, let's see how Greg Glasby of New Dimension Sports checks out against my criteria.

Are They Honest and Reputable? Without question, Greg is probably one of the most honest and reputable handicappers in the industry. Simply ask around at some of the more popular forums (Sports Forum World particularly) and you'll see there is a ton of respect for his handicapping skill.

All of his plays are tracked at Track Picks, as well as at The Sports Monitor. Even better though (since you know I'm not a big fan of the monitoring services), an updated weekly record of each sport is posted in a thread at SFW...along with closing line value.

In talking with current clients of New Dimension Sports (or have tracked and played his picks over the last few years), they have all said nothing but great things concerning the honesty and integrity of Greg and the service he operates.

I can say wholeheartedly and without hesitation, that he is one of the best handicappers in the industry. Although there certainly are some unethical services in the sports betting world, ND Sports is definitely one of the good guys.

Another sign of an honest and profitable sports betting service is the number of clients they keep coming back on a monthly basis...anything over 40% is actually very good. With roughly a 80% retention rate, New Dimension Sports has a very loyal customer base and it certainly proves the added value the service provides.

What's Their Track Record? He has a great track record in just about every sport he handicaps. However, he particularly has an exceptional record and is highly regarded for his college basketball totals, with college football totals being a close second.

As I stated earlier, he is very solid in every sport he plays, simply because of his proven methodical approach to betting sports. New Dimension Sports may not be the fanciest website on the internet, but I would much rather pay someone who actually spends the majority of their time handicapping the games, as opposed to marketing themselves.

Granted, some marketing must be done, but if you've got a proven track record of winning (as does New Dimension Sports), then the marketing part will take care of itself.

How Long Have They Been in Business? The actual service has been around since March of 2010. However, Greg has been handicapping sports for years. He has posted (and still does sometimes) his plays on Twitter and a few forums over the years and really created a name for himself.

So even though ND Sports is relatively new, Mr. Glasby has a very prolific and extensive handicapping background that can be attested to from his many loyal followers. A solid service like this will without a doubt have a true impact on the sports betting industry.

What is Their Sports Betting Philosophy? Greg dubs his service as one that "delivers consistent handicapping using the most advanced computer models to predict sporting events." Obviously, he's a numbers guy that has a true passion for the statistical side of sports.

A lot of his handicapping comes from his computer models that he has developed for each sport...and yes, they are proprietary. "After working through the models, examining the weaknesses from last year and developing a new sabermetric type statistic for college football that only I have, I am supremely confident as I enter the season."

You can see that he is very adamant in believing what his models produce. "Most of you who know who I am and are aware of how advanced my computer models are. What most of you don't know is just how far I have taken them over the past year. New Dimensions?? A handicapping service that consistently wins. What I am doing ... as simply as I can state this ... no one else is doing. Many of you have seen glimpses ... now you can see everything."

You can see that he has a very unique and advanced approach to handicapping sports...he's certainly not just throwing darts as it would seem that some sports betting services do. New Dimension Sports has a proven methodology that you won't find anywhere else...at least one in which you have the opportunity to purchase.

As you may or may not know, 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 that Greg 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.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? Greg handicaps just about every major sport. The NBA, NFL, MLB, CFB, CBB, and even some NHL...both sides and totals for each. As stated earlier though, he is most known for his CBB totals (with CFB right behind that).

Most all sports are rated 1 star, 2 stars, or 3 stars (roughly 54%, 58%, and 62% confidence, respectively). Most sides will fall into the 1-2 star category, while most CFB and CBB totals (from mid season on) will fall under the two star category. He will have a 3 star every once in a while, but they are pretty rare.

How Much Does it Cost? He offers a number of packages, ranging from one week to one year. In each package you will receive every sport that he handicaps. At times throughout the year though, New Dimension Sports will offer discounts and specialty packages...particularly right before CBB season starts. All packages are very reasonable, even if you're only betting $200 a unit.

Remember that you'll always need to calculate the cost of a service into your money management philosophy. With the track record that Greg has established, the cost of his service is very well worth what you'll get in return.

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 will always be the lowest cost per day no matter what service 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.

What's Their Customer Service Like? From personal experience and talking with others, their customer service has always been excellent. Greg replies to emails very promptly and even offers a toll free number on his website.

Being able to speak with or email the "head man" is a true sign of a great service. Greg has created a sports betting service that certainly is a step above all others.

New Dimension 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.

Jefferson Sports

Before going into the details of why I believe Jefferson Sports is one of the best sports betting services out there today, I'd suggest reviewing the "How to Choose Sports Betting Services" article by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. This will go over my personal checklist that I use in order to rate sports handicappers and sports betting services. With that said, let's see how Jefferson Sports checks out against my criteria.

Are They Honest and Reputable? Without question, Jefferson Sports operates one of the most honest and reputable sports betting services in the industry. He's been at it for years and has proven himself to be one of the best and most established sports handicappers out there today.

From emailing and speaking with Jefferson, he's truly a great guy (not to mention a great handicapper) that's not out there trying to push false records and promises of riches (like we see with a lot of handicappers). He's honest, down to earth, and always trying to help the everyday sports bettor.

He's extremely knowledgeable with every team and puts a ton of time into researching and handicapping games (as opposed to 99% of other sports betting services who spend most of their time trying to market themselves). I can honestly say that Jefferson Sports runs a quality, reputable service that I would recommend to anyone.

They have two statements on their website that I believe in wholeheartedly and are one of many reasons why I feel Jefferson Sports separates themselves from other handicappers. They are "a sports handicapping service where the focus is on handicapping the games, not marketing the plays" and "a service that cares and focuses on the investing and money management side of the industry."

What's Their Track Record? They really have a fantastic track record in all sports. From the NFL to the MLB, I have no problem at all recommending any of the sports that Jefferson handicaps.

Simply check out some of the forums and you'll find out that they're one of the best in the industry. Obviously one or two years worth of records won't tell you the whole story (that's why I say to check), but he's done fantastic at every sport he handicaps.

Just to give you a quick run down, take a look at these: 2008-2009 NBA record was 120-83 (59%), 2008-2009 NCAA Basketball record was 150-106 (59%), 2008 NFL record was 58-32 (66%), 2008-2009 NHL record was 14-7 (67%), 2008 NCAA Football record was 53-34 (61%), and for the 2008 MLB season he won 40 units playing 1 unit per game and 52 units the year before.

As you can tell, he's really starting to hone his craft and developing into one of the best handicappers out there today. It's tough to find a service that has such a complete resume, but when you do, you better not let them go.

How Long Have They Been in Business? Jefferson has been at since the mid 90's. As I always say, if you been doing it this long and you're still in business, then you must be doing something right, and trust me, Jefferson Sports is doing more than something right.

What is Their Sports Betting Philosophy? His basic philosophy comes down to watching games and then watching more games. It sounds simple but there's a lot more that goes into it besides the extreme time commitment.

With a background in sports psychology, Jefferson is able to notice and understand things the everyday handicapper might not be able to comprehend. With Jefferson Sports being based in Las Vegas, he's been able to establish credible contacts at various sportsbooks to know where the "smart money" and "dumb money" are being played.

However, he feels the biggest key to his sports betting philosophy is being able to handicap the oddsmaker. "You must handicap the games, but if you can handicap the oddsmaker, and think like they think, then you'll find good spots."

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 Jefferson 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.

I can assure you that nobody works more diligent than Jefferson of Jefferson Sports. The amount of time and hard work he puts into handicapping sports says a lot about why he has the track record that he does. Jefferson is one of the best in the industry and I would encourage anyone to check out his sports betting services.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? He handicaps the NFL, NCAA Football, the NBA, NCAA basketball, and MLB. As I stated above, he's very consistent across the board. He also dabbles in the CFL, NHL, and WNBA when he sees something he likes.

How Much Does it Cost? As with most sports betting services, they offer quite a few options as far as subscriptions. All are very competitive with other sports betting services. From personal experience and speaking with other clients of Jefferson Sports, the cost is more than worth it when you see the profit you'll get in return.

Something I really like about his subscriptions is that they include every sport that he handicaps. For instance, if you purchase a daily or monthly pass, you'll get every pick for every sport that he handicaps for that amount of time.

Another nice thing is that he'll work with you on special rates that he may have going on. Simply send him an email and he'll always get back to you quickly.

You'll obviously need to put a little more money down but I always recommend purchasing longer term packages if you're serious about getting the full benefit of a sports betting service. It will always be the lowest cost per day no matter what service 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.

What's Their Customer Service Like? The customer service is great. Even though he doesn't have a toll free number at this time, he'll be more than happy to give you a call to speak over the phone. His email is on the website and he's good at getting back to you very quick.

As you probably know my feeling already, one sign of a great sports betting service is when you can speak with the lead handicapper over the phone.

Jefferson 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.

Wunderdog Sports

Before going into the details of why I believe Wunderdog Sports is one of the best sports betting services out there today, I'd suggest reviewing the "How to Choose Sports Betting Services" article by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. This will go over my personal checklist that I use in order to rate sports handicappers and sports betting services. With that said, let's see how Wunderdog Sports checks out against my criteria.

Are They Honest and Reputable? Without question, Wunderdog Sports is one of the best, most reputable sports betting services in the industry. Geoff Kulesa, the founder and lead handicapper, has been operating Wunderdog since 2001.

Just take a look at the website, read a few of the articles, and you'll be able to tell right away that you're dealing with an honest and ethical betting service. They aren't there to pressure you into anything, they're simply providing some of thebest advice around (their NFL picks have been great).

Whether they're winning or losing, you'll know immediately because they post all results right on the site. You're actually able to go back and see every bet they've made with a few clicks of the mouse. Trust me, you won't find honesty like that any place else.

Wunderdog Sports also offers a great newsletter with tons of free picks as well. Even if you don't purchase the picks there is a lot of knowledge to be gained just from the well written and informative articles on the site.

I can say unequivocally that Wunderdog Sports is not only one of the best sports betting services according to win percentage but they're also one of the most honest and reputable.

What's Their Track Record? Just take a look at the "Past Picks" tab on their site and you'll see their records dating back to inception. Do they win every week? Absolutely not, but over each season for each sport, they consistently show a profit.

Their long term average is anywhere from 55%-60% in all of the sports they handicap. Anything over 55% is excellent and will insure a great profit especially with the amount of games they pick.

As with most of the handicappers I recommend, they rate their picks anywhere from 1-5 units. You can also find a breakdown ofunits won per season per sport within their track record information. Once again, I can't commend them enough for being brutally honest but I guess it's pretty easy when you have such an incredible win percentage.

How Long Have They Been in Business? Wunderdog Sports has been around since 2001. They have a great track record of winning since they opened their doors.

Since that time, they've grown at an astounding pace on an annual basis. They have more than 161,000 subscribers and sold over 35,000 pick packages. If you've been in business that long and continue to grow as they are, then you know you must be doing something right (picking winners consistently).

What is Their Sports Betting Philosophy? As stated on their website, their philosophy basically boils down to "Just Win, Baby". It seems simple, but a lot more goes into Wunderdog Sports winning ways.

In their more than 20 years experience of research and statistics, Geoff Kulesa has developed a consistent, successful method for handicapping and picking sporting events. A lot of his approach is based on basic statistics.

Along with stats, he also employs power ratings and "hundreds of very high-percentage proprietary historical situational systems." He'll only wager on a game if all of his sources are in agreement, which will result in only betting on a select few games on a daily basis.

Something I always look for when choosing sports betting services 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 Wunderdog Sports is right beside the client, betting every game that they release. Stay far far away from those handicappers that won't even bet their own money on their own picks.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? Wunderdog Sports handicaps a wide range of sports 365 days year. They include the NFL, College Football, the NBA, College Basketball, MLB, NHL, WNBA, and Horse Racing.

They're probably best known for their NFL picks, but they're a consistent winner in all sports. I really couldn't narrow down what sport they're best at because they've been a proven winner across the board. Whatever sport you're needing help at, I have no problem highly recommending the sports betting services of Wunderdog Sports

How Much Does it Cost? For the service and consistency that Wunderdog Sports offers, their costs are extremely reasonable. However, you should always account for costs within your money management philosophy. Check out their various packages by clicking here.

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 will always be the lowest cost per day no matter what service you choose.

Wunderdog Sports also offers a guarantee policy with their picks. The guarantee states that if you don't make a profit over the time you purchased (1 day, 1 month, or an entire season), then you'll receive an equal amount of time free of charge.

What's Their Customer Service Like? They have very efficient customer service whether it's through email or over the phone. Emails are responded to quickly and they even offer live support online.

As you know if you've read any of my other recommendations, I always think it's a great mark for a service if you're able to speak with the lead handicapper personally. Obviously Geoff is a busy guy, but he'll always find time to return phone call and emails.

Wunderdog 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.

Right Angle Sports

Before going into the details of why I believe Edward Golden is one of the best sports handicappers out there today, I'd suggest reviewing the "How to Choose Sports Betting Services" article by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. This will go over my checklist that I use in order to rate sports handicappers and sports betting services. With that said, let's see how Edward Golden at Right Angle Sports checks out against my criteria.

Are They Honest and Reputable? Right Angle Sports has been around since 1996. Since then, they've produced a consistent winning record in both NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball. However, with NCAA Football, they only handicap the first 8 weeks and then put all efforts into NCAA Basketball. They focus in on what their best at and that for the most part is small basketball conferences on the west coast.

They also have sister service, HoopsEdge, that exclusively handicaps the WNBA. They had a great record in 2008, but it's to soon to say whether they've been able to find another niche.

Just check out any sports betting forum and they'll all say that Right Angle Sports is a quality service. They report all of their records on the website and I can assure they're accurate and honest.

I can say without a doubt that Right Angle Sports is one of the few ethical, honest, and winning sports betting services out there today. Simply by visiting their website, click here, they'll explain how they go about handicapping games, what their methods are, what they specialize in, endorsements, and much more.

It'd be nice if all sports betting services were operated like this. Edward Golden runs a very quality service that I put a lot of faith in and feel comfortable recommending to anyone.

What's Their Track Record? They have a fantastic track record in both NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball with a long term win percentage of 54% and 55% respectively. With that being said, you'll always need to factor in the amount of units as well since your wager will vary accordingly.

As I mentioned earlier, they also operate HoopsEdge which specializes in the WNBA. In 2008, they won 64% of their games for 18.10 units. That certainly was a great year but I still think it might be a good idea to give them some more time to establish a proven long term track record.

With the amount of success they've had with NCAA Basketball, the lines move extremely fast when their picks are released so you certainly have to be on the ball. When your that good at one sport, bookmakers start to realize it and adjust the lineaccordingly. I guess that's just one of the pitfalls of being one of the most successful sports betting services in the country.

How Long Have They Been in Business? Edward created Right Angle Sports back in 1996. As I always say, if you been around for that long then you must be doing something right and trust me they are. They're very well respected from the novice bettor to other professional sports betting services.

What is Their Sports Betting Philosophy? Another reason I feel they run a class service is because they cover exactly what their philosophy is and what to expect with it. It's all lined out in black and white.

Basically it comes to down to research, research, and more research. From actually going to scrimmages and practices, to player evaluations, team chemistry, suspensions, team attitude, line movements, trends, and much more, Right Angle Sports makes sure they cover all bases before releasing a play.

Just as they say on the website, they are one of the most highly selective sports betting services and "will not release a game to customers unless we know that we have the right angles." They'll go over every detail you need to know about the service such as average number of plays per season, primary focus, ratings, plan delivery and more.

They're up front, honest, and very good at what they do. Another bonus is that you'll also have access to CollegeInjuryReport.com, which is a great way to keep up to date on college sports injuries.

Something I always look for when choosing sports betting services 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 Right Angle Sports is beside the client, betting every game that they release. Stay far far away from those handicappers that won't even bet their own money on their own picks.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? They handicap NCAA Football (first 8 weeks), NCAA Basketball, and their sister service, HoopsEdge, handicaps the WNBA. They're probably most well known for NCAA Basketball totals, but they've always produced a profit at NCAA Football and had a great first year in 2008 with their WNBA picks.

How Much Does it Cost? As with all of the sports betting services I recommend, they have very reasonable prices for their packages. To get more information on the various subscriptions they offer, click here.

Remember that you'll always need to calculate the cost of a service into your money management philosophy. With what Right Angle Sports has accomplished in the past, the cost of their service is very well worth what you'll get in return.

What's Their Customer Service Like? I have never had an issue with customer service and in fact Edward actually posts in a couple different forums. Emails and voice mails are returned quickly. You can also personally speak with Edward over the phone as well, and as you know, I think that's a great mark for a sports betting service.

Right Angle 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.

Dr. Bob Sports

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 Sports Betting Services" article by clicking on the link at the bottom of this 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.

Are They Honest and Reputable? 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 sports betting 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.

What's Their Track Record? 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 sports betting services 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.

How Long Have They Been in Business? 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.

What is Their Sports Betting 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 sports betting services that won't even bet their own money on their own picks.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? 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.

How Much Does it Cost? 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.

What's Their Customer Service Like? 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.

Maddux Sports

Before going into the details of why I believe Maddux Sports is one of the best services out there today, I'd suggest reviewing the "How to Choose Sports Betting Services" article by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. This will go over my personal checklist that I use in order to rate sports handicappers and sports betting services. With that said, let's see how Maddux Sports checks out against my criteria.

Are They Honest and Reputable? In a word, ABSOLUTELY. Just take a look at their website and some of the incredible articles they've written and you'll be able to tell right away that Maddux Sports is a top quality service.

They've been at it for over 10 years and have shown fantastic results since inception. Now they don't actually list historical plays or report their plays to a monitor, which I wish they would, but they will show you how much profit they've averaged per year over the last four years for every sport they handicap.

Now for most sports betting services this wouldn't mean much to me because they're usually full of BS, but just give them a call, speak to an actual client, or ask about them on one of the sports betting forums and you'll know they run a reputable service.

I can say without a doubt that Maddux Sports is one of the best sports betting services in the industry. They provide very comprehensive advice that is both honest and ethical but also offer great articles and tips in helping you become the best handicapper you can be.

What's Their Track Record? As mentioned above, I wish they'd actually provide in detail a history of their win percentage in the various sports they wager. However, they do provide the average annual profit of the previous four years for each sport they handicap.

Like I said before, this normally doesn't mean much to me but I've done my homework to make sure what they report is legit and I can say without a doubt that it is. They continue to bring back the same clients year after year and that doesn't happen if you're losing money for them.

As stated on their website, they stopped reporting their picks to the monitors back in 2003 with the main reason being that they "were being sold backdoor without receiving a dollar of the revenue earned." Other legitimate reasons are stated as well. I completely understand all of their concerns but still wish they would report their picks to a Monitor.

With that being said, I don't hold it against them because I know they're one of the most honest and reputable sports betting services in the country. It's not very often you can find not only an ethical service but also one that offers a proven long term track record of winning.

How Long Have They Been in Business? Maddux Sports has been on the internet for over 10 years, but all together they boast more than 45 years of experience in sports betting. As I've said before, if you've been in business this long, then you must be doing something right.

Their experience and knowledge is obvious once you visit their site. You may not have heard much about them before (which in my opinion is a good thing), but that's because they put all of their time into handicapping sports and not trying to market themselves (like 99% of other handicappers).

What is Their Sports Betting Philosophy? They believe in a consistent straightforward philosophy to betting on sports. Various factors that go into their approach are match-ups, vs. the spread records, weather, hot/cold streaks, power ratings, finding out where the smart money is headed, and many other things.

They don't release a certain amount of picks every day. There might be days where they don't have any picks but there also might be days when the have 10 picks. It all depends on the situations and where they feel they have an advantage.

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 Maddux Sports is right beside the client, betting every game that they release. Stay far far away from those sports betting services that won't even bet their own money on their own picks.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? They handicap a number of sports and are very consistent at everyone one of them. They include the NFL, College Football, the NBA, College Basketball, MLB, and Hockey.

I really couldn't say what they're best at because they're pretty darn good at each one (just take a look the average profit per season over the last four years for each sport). I have no problem at all recommending them for any of the sports they handicap.

How Much Does it Cost? They offer a number of different subscriptions and all of them are extremely affordable, especially for what you'll get in return. However, you should always account for costs within your money management philosophy. They of course offer daily picks, but in my opinion you should look at it much longer term.

Typical season packages are right around the $500 range, which is really one a heck of a deal when you compare them with other handicappers. More importantly than that though is the piece of mind you'll receive from investing with a service that has a proven long term record of winning.

Maddux Sports also offers a guarantee policy with their picks. The guarantee states that if you don't make a profit over the time you purchased (1 day, 1 month, or an entire season), then you will receive an equal amount of time free of charge.

What's Their Customer Service Like? Maddux Sports has very efficient customer service. Emails and voicemails are returned in a timely manner, but most of the time if you call, you'll speak with someone personally. I really think they run a top class service.

Maddux 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.

Tour-Tips.com

Before going into the details of why I believe Tour-Tips.com is one of the best golf handicapping sites out there today, I'd suggest reviewing the "How to Choose Sports Betting Services" article by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. This will go over my checklist that I use in order to rate sports handicappers and sports betting services. With that said, let's see how Tour-Tips.com checks out against my criteria.

Are They Honest and Reputable? Tour-Tips.com is without a doubt an honest and reputable service. They've been providing, at least in my opinion, the most quality golfing tips in the industry.

Simply go to their website and you'll see exactly what their track record has been since inception. They've been doing since 2000 and are far and away the most honest and ethical golf handicapping service out there today.

Whether they're winning or losing, they'll post their positive/negative units under the "Tips Record" tab. Tour-Tips.com consists of 10 tipsters that specialize in types of golfing bets as well as various golf tours throughout the world.

I really have never run across a golf handicapping site that is so comprehensive in what they do. Tour-Tips.com is honest, reputable, but most importantly a profitable service that focuses on long term performance.

What's Their Track Record? As stated above, their track record is posted right on the site under the "Tips Record" tab. Going back to 2000 (inception), you can view the record of every tipster at the site.

You'll see the good, the bad, but more importantly the consistency of winning over the long term. I always think so much more of a handicapping service when they're up front and honest with their overall track record.

As you can see, Stanley has been there since the beginning and boasts an incredible amount of units won. I can't say enough of how impressed I am with the site he's created and how it's grown over the years. If you're looking for help in handicapping golf, Tour-Tips.com is the only place you need to go.

How Long Have They Been in Business? They've been around since 2000. With being in business that long, you know they must be doing something right, and trust me Tour-Tips.com goes about handicapping golf in a professional and profitable manner.

What is Their Sports Betting Philosophy? As far as philosophy is concerned, they go into a lot of stats analysis to develop their golf tips. They actually generate a "full statistical analysis of each player in that week's field."

Basically what this involves is "summaries for current form, location form, long-term form, statistical form, two measures of course form and course compatibility, plus there is a full form guide (Tour-Tips ratings) that brings this analysis together."They also provide "at the end of each round on the PGA and European Tours, 27 in-running stats tables that analyze the performance of the players in different categories."

"You will also find profiles of each player on the four main Tours that will present a series of statistical analysis for that player as well as collate all of the main news stories about the player over the last month, profiles of each tournament on the four main Tours that provide analyses of how the event has been won (or lost) in the last five years and you will also find customizable Tour Stats for each of the four main Tours, plus the Nationwide and Japan Tours."

As you probably gather just by reading the previous two paragraphs, a lot goes into to what they do and how they do it at Tour-Tips.com. They're not just throwing darts and it's pretty obvious to see once you check their track record.

Something I always look for when choosing a service is finding one that bets on their own tips right along with the client or as I like to say "eating their own cooking." I can assure you that Tour-Tips.com is right beside their clients, betting every tip they release. Stay far far away from those sports betting services that won't even bet their own money on their own tips.

What Sports Do They Handicap and What Are They Best At? As you've probably gathered, they stick with what they're best at and that's golf.

How Much Does it Cost? For the information and amount of tips you'll receive, the cost in my opinion is one heck of a bargain. They typically pro rate the prices throughout the year, but you shouldn't have any problem getting the service for an entire year for under $200 (they also have weekly packages as well).

I always recommend purchasing an annual package if you're serious about getting the full benefit of a sports betting service. It will always be the lowest cost per day no matter what service 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 tips 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.

What's Their Customer Service Like? I have never had an issue with customer service even though support is limited to email only. However, I can assure you that emails are always responded to in a very timely fashion.

Tour-Tips.com is one of the best golf betting tipsters 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.
