Or, do they help you lose? I'm believing the latter, how about you? My first contention is that all the history, stats and trends they all give you for free, is a total waste of time. Isn't it? If all this data was even worth a nickel, would they all provide this data free of charge? Would they? Think about it. If the historical data and trends, and current stats meant anything on who was going to actually win, wouldn't you have to pay for this info? To me, if they give you the info for free, it's all useless info. What it's been doing to me is take up lot of my valuable time, clutters and clogs up my mind with useless data, and fogs up the picture of who is going to be victorious.
For example, last night's Under in Beantown. The historical data/trends and current stats all pointed to an Under, yet the game went over. So what did I gain by learning that the 2 teams this year go under a majority of the time, and that their last 5 games in a row easily went under? What good is it to see what the teams have done this year and in the past? Does it do any good at all? Does any of this data have even a scintilla of meaning as to who will win today? NO, it doesn't, which is why they give it to you totally free of charge.
On the Docsports.com site you can read the following: "We compile ...
exclusive information. This exclusive information comes from a network of
personal contacts, which we have developed and maintained through out the past
39 years. These contacts provide us with information that you won't find
anywhere else."
That's what it's all about ... EXCLUSIVE info, not free public info! Exclusive info I'm thinking is, did a player get hurt in practice and will be a late scratch, or will not be at 100%? Did a player violate a team rule and will be benched? Did a player have a personal issue that will hurt his game or the team's focus? Is the team's strategy today to play run and gun, or to employ full-court pressure and take as much time of the clock on each possession? What is the game plan for today? This is the info that is critical to know, and this is the info that the public will never see. I don't know if Docsports pays off a locker room towel boy to eavesdrop or what, but I do know that they don't give away their knowledge free of charge, and that having inside info is what it's all about.
Let's take a look at the Covers.com front page story today ... "Here's what to watch and wager on Saturday." So these are the games they're pimping out to the public, or going out of their way to attract the public to wager on today:
1) Pitt @ Uconn (-5.5)
2) Wash @ UCLA (-3)
3) NW @ Iowa (-1.5)
4) Van @ TN (+2)
5) Lou @ Syr (-9)
6) NC @ Duke (pick)
7) TX @ KS (-11.5)
Though Covers publishes that they have the "full story" they're only giving you a couple of tidbits on each game. That's hardly the 'full story' but perhaps they're meaning to imply it's their 'full story' and what they consider to be a 'full story'. So of all the games, why are they pimping out these games? Is it because they're on national TV? Is it because they're the easiest games to 'cap, or the toughest ones? Is it because these are the games that will have the most betting action? According to them, these are the games to "watch and wager on." My guess is, these are the games where the public takes the most beating. So allow me to track the results of these games, based on the line movements, and let's see how the public does on these games.
1) Line went from -6 down to -5.5, so indicates the lean is on Pitt.
So called Covers Team Experts are on Pitt 66.67% to 33.33. So if you believe what you read, and/or like what you read, are you a little lamb being led to Pitt?
