As we are finishing with regular season MLB it appears that +17 units is in the cards. That means the 2nd season in a row of double digit gains on overnight sides. This is a welcome addition to our steady sports positive EV plays.

In the NFL last week we had 3 plays.

Arizona was an easy cover, Houston was not close, and then it came down to Indy +3.5. All was looking good with less than a min left. 2 and goal at the 1 yard line meant a very good chance at a cover:)  But two incomplete passes and an up the middle failed drive left Indy not covering the spread. Oh well:)

This week I have sent out one play.

My top 5 contest picks this week are:

Jacksonville +3.5
Arizona +5.5
Rams +8
Jets +9.5
Carolina +3

The Westgate Top 5 picks went 4-1 last week vs the spread. Typically you want to be fading these.

Atlanta  +1

Seattle   +5.5

New England  +3

Pitt   +2.5

Jets +9.5

The Bottom 5 picks in the Westgate

Minn +6 (Winner)

Phil   -6  (Lose)

Dallas -9.5

Wash  +3.5

Indy -1

I am with the Westgate top 5 on two games, and not fading any of the top 5:(  Not a place I like to be all things being equal.

My top 5 went 3-2 last week, and in the contest where I pick every game against the spread I went 9-7. 

On Thursday I had

Minn in the all spread contest so I have 1 win heading into today.

I sit tied for 27th in that contest.

I am fading the Washington top 5 play and that is about it.

So far I have not sent out any plays to subscribers yet.

I have sent out the road maps on every game played today along with my picks in the 

every game against the spread contest.

This goes out early every morning. In addition subscribers get my

top 5 picks on Saturday around noon PST.

In College football we sit at 4-3 for the season. Yesterday we went 2-1 with Baylor and Texas both 7 pt dogs

winning their games easily:)

Both of these have an active discussion board. The first channel is sports and the other is stock and option trading.

A few years ago I decided to share with subscribers my option and stock trading decisions. Along with pre market comments

and other comments during the day.

This has been a very popular value addition to my site. So much so that I am going to make it a regular part of the package for no additional 

cost!!! 

The option trading has been very successful , leaning toward selling options for income. While the stock trading is mostly trading

closed end funds that are income producing that have excellent management. In addition they tend to trade at a discount to Net Asset Value.

The stock trades typically produce 7 to 8 % income with many trades also producing capital gains when I exit the trades.

No other handicapping site gives the value RickJ’s Handicapping Picks gives. The sports picks have been producing positive EV betting 

now for 20+ years. 

In the past my MLB has been break even at best. But last season we won 17 units and this season we are right at that number. I have done this with only wagering on Overnight Sides. It appears very likely we will produce 16+ units a season in MLB.

The NFL has been solid from the start. Last season plays were almost 80% winners:)  When I see that from a service I shake my head that it is a big red flag. But since I post all my plays and have been doing that since day 1, I am the exception.  Of course I got hit a bit with positive variance:)

The cost of RickJ’s Handicapping Picks is only 49.00 a month.  Most services for what you are getting would cost you well into the 4 figure number yearly without being able to back out of the service once you have paid. But with RickJ’s Handicapping Picks, you can choose the months where the sports you wager on are being played. It is a month to month payment!

Come join us for the Football season.

Just go to the PayPal dropdown menu at rickjshandicappingpicks.com and pick the monthly choice. I will have you into the system quickly. You also get a 3 day trial where you get charged nothing until the end of the 3 days.

Hope to see you join us
