  Tony George
Tony George, President and CEO of Midwest Sports Consultants and Sports Audio Shows, is one of the most consistent and most respected handicappers in the sports gaming world.

Based in Kansas City, MO, formerly of Lincoln , NE, George started his business in 1992 with the idea that sports handicapping shouldn't be exempt from ethical conduct. George's full-time firm dedicates itself solely to winning and places expectations high.

George has always been a self-confessed "controlled action junkie." An All-State athlete in three sports and a football player in Div. II football, George has a keen insight into sports like few professional handicappers do.

His first big break came in 1991, when he won a small contest at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas after one of the Binion's - one of Las Vegas' most famous families - encouraged him to enter. Soon other players started to inquire about his picks. George began his phone service and soon after he found himself in the top ten of Jack Stewart's Sportswatch, one of the first handicapper monitoring services.

George became one of the first cappers to sell a play on the Internet when he set up online in 1995. He's a proud member of the VMG group, featuring Sports Audio Shows, as well as a contributor to numerous large gaming portals such as Covers, Covers Experts, 10 Star Picks, Gambling 911, Phoenix Sports Ticket, E Betting Zone, Superior Sports, Gamblers World, Buzz Dalys Players Guide, The Sports Network, The Pregame and Pregame Pros, Valley Sports, Sports Crew,10 Star Picks, Vegas Insider, Pro Cappers, and others too numerous to mention that he has appeared on over the past 17 years.

But radio is what sets George apart from most handicappers. He's appeared on several radio shows including CBS Sports By Line, Vegas Sportswire, Armed Forces Radio, Cable Radio Network, Right on the Line on the Sirius satellite network, and he hosts the Tony George show on the Internet, and on ESPN 1480 in Lincoln, NE (1998 to 2007), plus other regional markets. In 2008 Tony will enter the Kansas City markets. Tony is also host of the nationally syndicated "The American Outdoorsman Radio Show", as he is an avid Hunter and Fisherman in his spare time.

Ultimately it's the results that keep the players coming back and George - who picks the pro games - boasts some of the most impressive numbers in the business. His firm, which has been ranked in the top 10 in different sports 36 times at different sports monitors since 1996 and he won the Ultimate Handicapping Challenge in the NFL in 2003, placed 6th in the Golden Nugget contest in Vegas in 2005, and placed 4th in the Reserve Casino Contest in Vegas in 2002. Tony also placed in the top 10 at the Stardust World Series of Poker qualifier in 2006, furthering his gambling prowess.

George and his staff also are known in the sports gaming world as "The Big Game Hunters" with a record of 31-12 for their "Games of the Year," which is virtually unparalleled in the business. There is one in each sport, each season, so watch for them! Tony's speciality includes the Big 12 conference in College Football and Basketball, which he is widely known for his prowess(Over 63% ATS since 1992 to date).. He is also well attuned to the Missouri Valley in Basketball with a win rate of 65% ATS combined from 2003-2007.

Money management is important to George, who unit rates every game to ensure even the novice sports bettor has a way to maximize profits and minimize losses. George uses situational analysis and power numbers in a system that has proven to be very consistent. On moneyline wagers Tony never lays more than -150 on any selection.

A hassle free approach with 17 years of experience and an outstanding reputation, George offers proven results for all who invest in his wares. Put one of the most well known and recognizable cappers in the country to work for you daily. #1 in the NFL in 2006 on the VMG Network and #2 in the NBA in 2006 on the same network of sites.

Since founding Mike Devine Sports, he has been at the top of the National Sports Monitor in football, basketball and baseball. Mike is a strong situational handicapper who relies on his own power ratings to uncover great value in all betting situations.

He evaluates teams much like stocks trying to uncover value and lines maker’s mistakes in price to give bettors the best opportunity for success. The lines have gotten tighter over the years, as most of you know, and it takes more diligence and hard work than ever before to win consistently. Mike researches teams from every angle looking for optimum opportunities to play on them or against them. He constantly readjusts power ratings to accurately portray how a team is playing at that time often finding errors in the lines maker’s numbers. Just as important as numbers are any psychological or situational edges that teams may have in any given match up. Mike uses all his resources to uncover these edges.

Mike has been #1 at the National Sports Monitor in College Football (2004), College Basketball (2006, 2007) and Major League Baseball (2006) and in the top 5 multiple times.

  Matt Fargo
With over 12 years of sports handicapping experience, my analysis, information and expert picks give you what you want.... winners! I’m not here claiming to be undefeated over the last 10 years and I’m not going to fill your head with any useless inside information, because it doesn't exist. I do my homework plain and simple and come up with the plays that give us the best chance of winning. When you win, we win. You will see that our angles, statistical analysis and handicapping approaches will make you a consistent winner. One of the most drawn on adages in sports handicapping is that it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I cannot agree more. Consistency over the long haul is what every sports bettor should be interested in and that is what I provide. When the winning days outnumber the losing days by a large margin, I must be doing something right. Keep three things in mind when looking for sports service - Consistency, Honesty, and Integrity. You’ve found all three right here!

  John Ryan
John Ryan has been handicapping baseball, football, and basketball for over fourteen years. He has won several National contests and has placed in top-5's in countless others. By way of example of his fantastic results he has produced a 27-6 ATS record in his top rated 5* College Football plays right here at Vegas Experts. Many of these plays have been dogs that not only won ATS, but were huge headline making upsets too.

John's philosophy is based on the long-term, and he has found that over time consistency is what promotes success. The key to utilizing our computer generated algorithms, information and selections are to consistently investing the same amount on each selection. This process will ensure that our bankroll and our clients will maximize their investment return. Moreover, the entire methodology eliminates the human emotion from all selection processes.

Our computer systems are based on genetic algorithms and an adaptive-structure Neural Network. In summary, our systems calculate and analyze several hundred thousand pieces of data in combination with one another for each game played. The systems also optimize our combination of rules and utilize "team momentum" much like one would do in the technical analysis of a stock or soybean prices. Much like the commodities markets we have applied a "contrarian view" as one of the rules. For example, if a given trend in any sport is posting a 15-2 ATS, then the model will immediately make note that this trend has matured and that a reversal of this trend is likely. If the computer selects the team that does not support this given trend, the 15-2 trend will actually be supportive of the selection.

The relative and key differences in opponents are then presented in the selection write-up. The write-up will state why we have selected a given team and will outline the various statistics and trends supporting that selection. We believe that our information is unique and informative and hopefully as profitable as the previous years have been. The key is giving us an honest try and staying with the methodology. Thank you again for your support and good luck.


  Erik Scheponik

Hello Sports Bettors! My name is Erik Scheponik, and I would like to introduce you to Elite Sports Investing, now entering its fourth season of providing winning sports information to people just like you! My expertise combines fundamental, statistical, situational, and technical handicapping with an uncanny "feel for the game". The plays my clients receive are the same plays that I myself play, and although having connections in both Vegas and the Caribbean helps, the long hours of number-crunching and handicapping are the lifeblood of my company, Elite Sports Investing.. I have been analyzing and betting sports for 12 years, and believe me, there is no easy way to winning money in this industry...You simply have to put in the work.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from a very good private school, Westminster College, in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. However, all through the years of my schooling this is what where my heart and focus was, and I became very good at it. I would be doing what I do all day and night without Elite Sports Investing, making the majority of my living off of sports wagering. My results are fully documented by Sports Watch (3 seasons) and the Sports Monitor (2006), and I am living and dying with the plays just as my customers are. In its brief history, ESI already has multiple Sports Watch top 5 finishes including: Top 5 in the Nation in NBA in both 2005-2006, including #2 in net units won in 2005, #2 in NBA Playoff winning %, #1 in net units won in 2007 NBA postseason; #3 in NFL net units won, #2 in winning % in 2005, #1 (undefeated) in NFL Playoffs in 2006 winning % (both Sports Watch and Sports Monitor), #2 in net units won; and B2B top 5 finishes in College Basketball winning % and net units won for both 2006 and 2007. In fact, during the 2005-2006 sports season, Elite Sports Investing was the only service to rank in the Sports Watch top 5 in all 4 major sports, winning money in all 4 (NCAA and NFL football, NCAA and NBA basketball)! That's a lot of top 5 finishes for a 3 year- old service.

There will be plenty of ups and downs in this business, so that is why ESI stresses selectivity, discipline, and realistic goals to customers. With an eye towards long-term capital appreciation, ESI is your "best bet" for first rate sports information and analysis.


  Doc's Sports
Since 1971 Doc's Sports has been recognized and one of the leaders and most trusted names in sports handicapping. Doc became famous for his Big Ten Game of the Year that won and covered the spread 19 years in a row and is one of the only handicappers who's powerful influence has historically moved the official line over 7 points. Often times, less information is available on the more low profile games and certain trends stick out that the average person may not catch. Oddsmakers set lines to balance the action, so in reality we're often handicapping against the general public perception, and the general public rarely ever wins long-term. The sportsbooks and oddsmakers have to handicap and set lines for every game - we simply find a few of their mistakes. Doc's Sports uses a combination of technical, fundamental and exclusive information that we gather from a vast network of contacts that we've developed over the past 36 years. Experience is what this business is all about. Good money can be made if one has the connections and here at Doc's Sports, we pride ourselves on uncovering the edge that gives our customers the ability to beat the sports books on a consistent basis.
