My comments: Doc Sports have been around since 1971. The truth is, sports handicappers who don't win usually don't stay in business for very long. The fact that they've been around for such a long stretch gave me a definite confidence boost.

Doc is nicknamed the undisputed "King of the Big Ten" and is one of the most well-known names in the industry. As a professional sports bettor, it's no surprise that I've been personally testing his services over quite a broad period of time.

His MLB picks have a poorer strike rate in comparison to the other sports throughout the time that I've tested out his picks. The reason for this would partly be because his picks are based on underdogs with favorable odds. In the end I was still up by a good margin on his baseball picks due to the underdogs odds advantage..

The doc specializes in handicapping American football. I started monitoring his NFL picks in detail since December of 2007. His picks went 22 wins to just 5 losses in the time I monitored it. Impressive, to say the least!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a recap of the results I've had with the doc since I began to monitor his picks:

NFL Football:
22 wins - 5 losses (81.5% win) between December 2007 to the end of the 2007-08 NFL season, including a 17-3 run for the last 20 picks. This is the most impressive performance I've seen in football handicapping!

NBA Basketball:
140 wins - 104 losses (57.4% win) for the 2007-08 NBA season.

MLB Baseball:
75 wins - 74 losses (50.3% win) between the start of the 2008 MLB season to the end of August 2008. -  Note: since the picks were mostly on underdogs with favorable odds, I was still up by over 15 units of wins overall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, my results from doc's picks have been very satisfactory. I've monitored his picks for a year and the winnings from them are phenomenal. In an industry that is less than perfect, the doc comes through with my seal of approval for his solid results. Recommended to all.

My comments: The "Bookie Buster" system is one of the few products that I genuinely enjoy. There is a wealth of tremendously useful information in the product for betting beginners to experts alike. The systems outlined are easy to grasp, and with proper application it's a powerful tool that will allow you to grow your bankroll remarkably. The premium picks that come with the purchase have yielded a net win of +13.6 units over the 8 weeks that I have monitored the selections. Overall, a good product.

[My personal rating: B+]

My comments: I thought that the basics of the system are quite reasonable. One issue I want to bring up is that I have not been successful in getting the prices to be as good as the results shown in the system. The concept of the system seems rational, but the real challenge would be if it can produce solid results.

I’ve personally placed many bets based on the system to verify its accuracy. The first 8 weeks showed a surprising turn of profits. At $100 wagers I had managed a profit margin of $780 at the end. However, after the 8th week began a run of very bad results. Out of 20 wagers, I was able to scoop up a win in just 9 of them. This included a losing streak of 8. An unlucky bad run is possible, but after testing the system for a further 12 weeks I’ve come to the conclusion that the system is too inconsistent for it to be classified as anything more than average.

My comments: The Betting Profits Formula product has been one of the most aggressively marketed products that I've seen. There are nearly 200 pages worth of information to be read. What the product is is a compilation of numerous systems. This can easily turn into an information overload for the reader. I had no idea where to begin with all the information presented.

I would have loved to test out the systems in this product, however the fact that there are so many of them make it impractical for me to give all of them a detailed assessment. Some of the systems here may work, some won't. However it's a decent start that can give you a lot of great ideas.

The price of the product is steep, currently going at $200+ a pop. I would hand out a better rating if it was around $50. It does contain a boatload information, but I personally don't think it is worth the $200 asking price.

My comments: The Bet Maximizer tool was, interestingly enough, designed for the purpose of wagering under the SportsBettingChamp system. It's a basic tool that allows you to improve your money management on the 3-game series wagers. Although it can be useful, I don't think that it is that necessary to use this tool for better money management. Some simple math and discipline is enough to manage your bankroll. Furthermore, the tool does lack some features which I wish would be implemented, such as better customization for advanced users. The manual is also not very detailed, and you might be spending a bit of time figuring out how to use the tool properly. On the plus side, the author does provide free updates, and his customer service has definitely been one of the better ones that I've encountered.

My comments: This product has not yielded profits for me during the time that I paper traded using the signals outlined in the manual. Although the eBook is 38 pages long, I only found 5 pages containing actual useful information. Those who are not used to soccer and betting on soccer will have a difficult time grasping all the aspects of the signals in the guide. Furthermore, getting good support from them has been one of the tougher ones that I've dealt with.

My comments: I've been carefully monitoring Frank's PLS picks service for some time. How it works is Frank will provide you with 1 pick per day for the entire span of the MLB season. You will always be betting on the -1.5 run line on the team that he picks out. This would always results in very favorable odds. The average odds for each game is +121, so you can expect to win $121 for each $100 you wager on average.

The first 6 weeks of my monitoring process was okay, however his picks did not stand the test of time. After a decent run, I couldn't manage to get any units of win over the next month, and there were spans of time when the picks were on a long losing streak. I decided to stop the monitoring process after the 24th week. The last 18 weeks of my monitoring process resulted in 51 wins and 72 losses. Even at average odds of +121 I was still down.

In conclusion, I'd rate this to be a disaster. Not recommended.

My comments: The Racing Investment Formula is one of the worst products I've come across. The formula outlined is practically useless. The concept of the system is about placing wagers on horses that the public believe will win. The truth is, that doesn't really make any difference toward the effectiveness of your bet. The materials are way too basic, and formula has no value. My advice: stay away!
