Have you ever wondered what life could be like if you joined forces with the competition? Michael Jordan and Larry Bird swapped sweat on the hardwood for ages, but what if they had done so wearing matching uniforms? The Dream Team was created for a reason, wasn’t it? To conjointly gather the highest talented forces and have them strive for one common goal. How safe could our streets be if Superman called Batman and said; “hey, lets kick some f*cking ass together!?” Joining teams for the betterment of a community is what people want, no? Unfortunately, the day in age in which we live, it’s far easier to bash somebody with 140 characters of venom-laced hatred hiding behind a computer screen in moms basement, than it is to salute the man across from you.

Because two guys with egos large enough to sell out Bryant-Denny Stadium decided to salute one another for the betterment of the Sports Betting industry, Superman and Batman have in fact joined forces! Move over, scumbag Sports Handicapper. Step to the side, Brandon Lang and company. Payne Insider and Philly Godfather have come together to give you, The Breakdown on what really goes down in the Sports Betting world each and every Saturday on ESPN 950 at 8:00am eastern. The Breakdown will give you A to Z coverage from two of the sharpest sports betting minds on what it will take to be successful with your Football Picks this upcoming season. We’ll also talk Baseball Picks with the playoffs and World Series right around the corner – and for Phillies fans, that’s an exciting time. The lineup of guests that will grace us with their presence on The Breakdown is like murderers row! Gambling legends, line makers (ones that actually make lines, not follow them), professional poker players, athletes, celebrities, and of course…gorgeous women! This is going to be an over the top, no holds bar, if you’re a phony, you’re getting called out type of show! No sugar-coating here! To my knowledge, Superman and Batman have never worn kid gloves, so don’t expect them to start now.

The Breakdown’s goal is to better inform, and give a greater understanding of how to think, breathe, and act sharp. The $100 player losing money making Football Picks on weekends and treating Sports Betting like a hobby, we want them to absorb enough information to start breaking even. We want the player breaking even, to get over that hump. Start earning a few dollars on the side from his monotonous nine-to-five, so that he can take the family on vacations, or treat the significant other to a night out on the town. We want the player already profiting on his own to become sharp enough to where he eventually has his own show on ESPN, and becomes a respected Sports Advisor like Payne and the Godfather. This show is for EVERYBODY! From the novice player, to Billy Walters, The Breakdown on ESPN 950 will not discriminate. If you love sports, gambling, and just laughing and having a good time, The Breakdown is going to be your official batcave Saturday mornings.

Training camp is in full force, preseason games are just days away. The football season seems to be in its infant stages, doesn’t it? Are you looking over season win totals during lunch break? Are you looking to circle your Football Pick winners for Week 1 tomorrow morning on the john? Did “cool guy” who was captain of his high school football team in 94’ tell you how bad “the Redskins are going to suck this year mannnnnn,” during water-cooler talk?

My greatest piece of advice is to tread carefully at this point. Use kid gloves with each wager involving a season win total, or a Week 1 line in the NFL and College Football. Reality is; the football season is no longer in its potty-training phase. If you’re not mindful enough to realize sharp Sports Betting minds have already hammered the best available lines and sucked up most of the value, you’re going end up sinking quicker than that DiCaprio kid.

Now, I didn’t say treat your Sports Betting account like virgin vajayjay, but be cautious when tapping that…….submit button on your wagers. Ask yourself; “can I get better value a few weeks down the road when the public starts betting these games?” “Am I really willing to lay my hard earned money on a number I’m not getting the best of?” These are questions you should ask yourself before placing EVERY WAGER, but more so on ones that you won’t see the money hit your pocket for a few months. Why tie up money for a lengthy period of time on an investment that will yield a net loss in return simply because you didn’t get the added hook sharps got? These are things a sharp Sports Handicapper goes to sleep thinking about, it’s ingrained in our brain, it’s part of our DNA.

One particular game every wise guy Sports Advisor I speak with had circled on their sheet awaiting a line from Vegas was, Utah State at Auburn Week 1 of the College Football season. The Football Pick was on Utah State +28.5 or better. The larger the discrepancy in the line, the bigger the bet we were going to make. This line opened up at Utah State +32! The point to be had here is, this line is now Utah State +22, I wouldn’t advise a bet on Utah State plus the points right now, in fact, we will 100% buy back Auburn -22 and set ourselves up with a monster middle opportunity. This is how a REAL Sports Handicapper operates and conducts business.

This leads me to my next Sports Betting piece of advice for the upcoming season. There are many of you out there that bet based upon line movement. That’s not always the best way to maneuver, specially, when dealing with the aforementioned win totals and early lines. I can’t speak for every Sports Handicapper out there making their Football Picks, but myself, I have put money on certain positions in which are not TRUE POSITIONS. They’re to set myself up down the road to hedge, scalp, and middle – and thus, make larger profits than just cashing the ticket straight up. So following some of these moves doesn’t necessarily mean it’s actually a Sports Prediction I’m making on a REAL POSITION. So you could be following the move, but not knowing what the wise guys true intentions are, or what we’re going to do with that position down the road.

A Football Pick that was a TRUE POSITION I made in the NFL was on the Houston Texans OVER 8 wins. This is one of a few OVER positions that sharps liked. We looked towards a lot of unders for the 2011-2012 season due to the lockout. This is the second NFL Football Pick season win total I have given out for free. The first one you can find HERE !
