By Julie Smith On the NBA round, Seattle Supersonics won again last night on a basketball game played against Indiana Pacers. For the third time in a row, the Sonics have shown their fans they are full of energy and they are improving their scoring techniques. As back up guard Ronald Murray said: "We're just trying to bring whole lot energy, and keep the rhythm going and the pace going." An evidently tired Indiana team couldn't achieve the objective they had in mind for this basketball game... Read Full Story

By Proloy Bhattacharyya NFLSystems.com proloy@nflsystems.com September 12, 2005 In one of our earlier articles, we demonstrated how the home field advantage was stronger in the first game of a series and qualified that by explaining how the opposing team has to travel to a visitor's stadium and may struggle in the first game. I wanted to apply a few handicapping principles that we generally apply to the NBA such as the betting against a team on zero-days rest angle. Home teams in the first... Read Full Story

Ron Fowler said it feels like being hit with a wet towel. Bryan Vasaris said it's like being snapped with a rubber band or stung by a bee. Being shot by a paintball gun doesn't sound very fun. So why is paintball one of the fastest growing sports in America, according to the National Sporting Goods Association? "It's a stress relief, because you can go out and shoot at people and not dangerously hit them," Vasaris said. "But it's also being with a group of guys that you like to hang around...

By Proloy Bhattacharyya NFLSystems.com proloy@nflsystems.com September 10, 2005 I lived in Cleveland for two summers not too long ago. My second year there was when they had their fire sale. Jim Thome was one of the last to go. Their argument to him was that it would take a long time before they start to contend again so that it was best to part ways. Well, the Indians are contending in a hurry and are atop the Wild Card by 1.5 games. There is no question in my mind that these Indians are... Read Full Story

By Julie Smith Kentucky University Randolph Morris' suspension was reduced to 14 games this Thursday after he tried to enter the NBA draft. According to the NCAA some of the new information that helped to soften Morris' punishment was the fact that he clearly intended to retain his collegiate eligibility while he was declaring for the draft. Morris declared he had made some bad decisions, like accepting bad advice and putting distance between him and his coaches and teammates. The NCAA... Read Full Story

By Proloy Bhattacharyya NFLSystems.com proloy@nflsystems.com September 10, 2005 Home teams perform completely differently during the first half of the baseball season and the last half. I analyze baseball games differently based on which half of the season it is and I will demonstrate one such disparity. Baseball is a long drawn out season with so many games that the best effort from teams generally do not surface until the latter half of the season. As a result, the home field advantage is...

FOOTBALL FORECASTOR Hello my friend... It is never a good idea to place a wager based strictly on a system or on a trend or because of an injury or just because of a weather concern, the reason why of course is because you can bet your bottom dollar that the odds maker also knows of these factors as well and has already made the adjustments. Why would the odds maker make adjustments you ask? Simply put my friend, the reason why is because the odds maker already knows what today's "Joe Public... Read Full Story

By Proloy Bhattacharyya NFLSystems.com proloy@nflsystems.com September 10, 2005 Of all the major sports, baseball is known for not having a great home field advantage. During the regular season, astute bettors will prey upon bookies by betting on teams that are in situations where the home field advantage is extreme. Home teams win on average 53.6% of the time. This translates to a 7.2% advantage over road teams which is a smaller disparity compared to Basketball and Football. Home teams in... Read Full Story
