WELCOME FOLKS TO BETVEGAS & TO ANOTHER EXCITING BETTING SEASON IN COLLEGE FB/NFL (2022-23)!
Well it’s hard to believe today (Sat. Aug. 27, 2022) will mark the start of my 34th season here in Las Vegas as a Professional Sports Bettor and Sports Handicapper and our 31st Season publishing our Bluebook Weekly Football Betting Magazine. Hop on board and let’s enjoy another WINNING sports betting season in both College Football and the NFL (where we have simply been by far #1 in the country for the past decade).
Today is really just a little “Tease” with only a dozen games and most lower tier CFB teams in action. But c’mon a early game played in Dublin, Ireland? Have a green beer to start this season off and let’s start making some GREEN(E) $$$$$$ all year long. There is nothing in life better than taking the big and rich Casino’s and Sportsbooks money. They got lots of it so let’s take a big fat chunk of it.
Starting Sept. 1st we will start to load lots more articles as the real season starts that night in CFB and then only one week til the start of what looks like a fantastic NFL season with so many improved teams and no real door mats. As a young kid I hated the first day of school. But wow I am jumping out of my chair with excitement for this new season to kick off fully.
Last year we simply couldn’t get the CFB season of “Gameday Picks” to build the bankroll like many years in the past. We somehow lost every close game (usually by season’s end that will even out). It wasn’t until the very last full week, then the Conf. Title Games weekend and then the CFB Bowl Games did we get a strong run going to finally end the CFB season on a winning note (64-51-3) ~ (55.9%). For our first 23 seasons CFB was easily our best Sport to bet on between CFB and the NFL. Usually picking an average 7 games on CFB weeks compared to NFL weeks made it much easier to build a larger winning of overall UNITS won/lost. For the most part my national acclaim as a Sports Betting Handicapper was due to my huge profitable CFB seasons. If I hit the exact same win % in both CFB and the NFL I would still make more profits in CFB (due to double the volume usually). Although most would claim (+8 Units) for a season as a solid success…it was a hard CFB season to go thru and a huge wake up call how hard it is to win and win big over a long season (of any Sport you bet). It wasn’t until the entire Football season ended did I realize fully we simply didn’t click in CFB like seasons past and that was due to our 11th straight gigantic winning NFL season. With 90% of my clientele on for the entire season in both NFL and CFB combined, it was rare to ever get even one or two calls/emails of someone not happy with the way the “Gameday Picks” were going.
Due to the non stop from the get go last year in the NFL (62-34) ~ (64.5%) most of the final week results were positive every single week. I may sound like a broken record to some of my long time clients but you are not supposed to hit (64.5%) over an entire season. Everything must go your way. And unlike the no luck on the CFB side in the many close games over the 2021-22 season, on the NFL side just about every single close ending went our way in the NFL. Guys missing an extra point to secure a win for our team (our bet). Interceptions for TD’s late to change a loss into a win. I think we maybe had 3 or 4 tough losses on the NFL side. But the broken record part of this is that this has not been a crazy and ongoing trend for the past decade on the NFL side. Somehow the Football Betting Gods love me in the NFL. It’s something that you can’t really make any sense of. Sometime a newer client will ask when CFB was splitting out week after week and the NFL was crushing it “are you putting in the same work time on CFB as the NFL”? And the answer was a laughable one as I spent way more time on CFB as there are 4x the weekly games. The exact same as all the 30+ seasons before last season. When you bet over 200 games in a Football season you will have some lucky (wins) breaks and some really gut wrenching bad beats. Nobody but me remembers the lucky wins. Most count them as “genius” selected and forget if it was a “wrong/dead side” as far as the actual on field performances went. The worst part of “bad beat” losses is when you totally dominate the game as you were predicting the game to play out…but a few bad fumbles or tipped ball Interceptions or Special teams gaffes that allow the other side of your bet to score points. That’s football baby!
People always ask me for my Best Betting Advice. Well it’s simple yet nearly impossible for 90% of sports bettors. DO NOT BET PARLAYS.
That is why the house wins nearly every week. It’s hard enough to pick the one game winner….now you start adding a second, third and many times a fourth to tenth team and trust me folks….you are dead in water. Yes the big payout returns on those parlays looks great. But they rarely cash in leaving many sports bettors left with only the story of how that last game (bet) of the 7 team parlay lost on a late FG crushing their big payday dream. It’s another “fish that got away story” and I predict there will be over a million or seven (million…LOL) of those stories this year with sports betting legal in over half the USA. My next best advice is “NEVER bet what you can’t afford to lose”. Lastly anytime you see someone saying “LOCK” or “Game of Year” get your running sneakers on and run for the hills. Those guys who do that know as much as you do betting sports, and often even less. The sports selling of picks business is one of the shadiest in the world. Honest and real winners don’t need to HYPE the games in a huge way as their winning over long term will do that. But as they say “there is a sucker born every minute”.
We will once again offer our much talked about over the past 30+ years in the Vegas Casino Sportsbooks “The Bluebook Weekly Football Betting Magazine” here for the entire season for $99 bucks. Every penny will go to my new Charity “Big Nick’s Kids” (in honor of my wonderful Dad who passed away to Cancer last year). It will be helping sick kids and other groups who need food or shelter, etc. You can use all our stats to handicap games on your own. The Bluebook Magazine is basically like a easy to read/follow “Cheat sheet” to get all the stats and trends and past results and new weekly betting needed results all in one (ok two) easy to just click and print out sheets.
