Hey all,
This is my first post, after a few weeks of quiet observation. Congrats, and sincere thanks, to all who post insightful, articulate thoughts on coming games. I'm pretty much a rookie at this, dabbling in football, hockey and baseball, but have held my own these first three months. I hope I can occasionally add to the intelligent conversation, while sidestepping the inane commentary that will come with the territory.
I will have several questions in the coming days. I'll begin with asking what is the best sports betting book one should consider buying? I play a lot of poker, and have waded through countless how-to poker books. Is it the same with sports betting, and is there one book that stands above the rest?
I'll share some NFL thoughts in the next couple days, but for now I suggest a look at the CFL (Canadian Football League) game this Saturday between Calgary and BC. Its the last week of the regular season, and both have their playoff positions locked up. But while Calgary is reportedly sitting their star quarterback, running back, and a starting receiver, BC is trying to work a pair of top quarterbacks back from injury before they enjoy a first round bye. I've noticed some sportsbooks still have BC as just a 7-point favorite, and I think this is a pretty good play.
Good luck to you all,
Bean

Thanks for the CFL write-up, I'll definitely look at that one very heavily because of you. Looking forward to hearing your NFL picks this weekend also.
