Tony arrived in Las Vegas over two decades ago fresh from the family ranch in Texas, looking for the next winning thing. After all, he'd always been a winner back home... captain of the football team, State Champion tennis player, point guard for the district-winning basketball team, and Texas Calf Roping Champion in both high school & College.
Tony was an immediate hit, winning the $85,000 Castaways Challenge of 1980, and has never looked back. Tony is the proud winner of over a...

With just one day before the big college-NFL weekend, Friday offers us great plays to build up our bankroll. There's a college doubleheader of UTEP-Houston and Marshall-West Virginia, and I've won 3 of my last 4. There's baseball action highlighted by Padres-Giants and Braves-Cards in key National League series. I'm up 280 units for the year in baseball and am ready to add to that. You get with me here online Friday and I'll get you my best football play, and my two best baseball plays. Then we'll have all the money we need to finance a weekend of betting big!

Dog Dynamite!
Dog Dynamite!
I love the opportunities for finding a great dog play on Saturday. I watched every game I could in Week 1, watched video of the ones I couldn't, and studied each game's online play-by-play recap if they weren't on TV. And beneath the glittering facade of the final scores and media reports, I've isolated one particular case where an underdog is ready to step up and make a big statement on Saturday! Last year in this spot, I gave out three dogs (Idaho +20.5 over Washington, Ohio State +7 over USC, and Wyoming +32 over Texas) and all three got the money! I can't tell you I have three dogs this time, but I can say that this one grades out stronger than those three put together and will be an easy cover! It's Dog Dynamite to explode in the face of your man!

Tony Salinas 2010 Football
I'm chomping at the bit for the 2010 regular season and with the start I'm off to in pre-season (+83 Units through Week 2!) and after the year I had in 2009 you can understand why. For over thirty years, I've made my reputation in Las Vegas as one of its biggest highrollers and a champion contest winner. And while I love to bet basketball and baseball, there's nothing quite like a football weekend to stir my adrenaline and grow my bankroll. And there's nothing like pre-season football to do the same.

As you're deciding whether or not to back the New Orleans Saints Thursday Night in their season opener with the Minnesota Vikings, and in the other games they'll be playing over the next several weeks...keep this in mind:
SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS ARE USUALLY OVERPRICED!

ARIZONA CARDINALS COULD RESPONDVERY WELL TO RELEASE OF LEINART
Matt Leinart's had a look of surprise on his face since Vince Young scored that last second TD for Texas over USC in the Rose Bowl.
He couldn't believe he didn't win the big game.
He couldn't believe he fell all the way down to the 10th pick in the NFL draft the next season when he had assumed he'd be one of the first few guys taken.
He couldn't...

EVEN SMALL PROGRAMS CANBECOME PUBLIC TEAMS
Usually when I'm talking about 'public' teams in college football, I'm referring to major programs that have been in the limelight a long time. Notre Dame is the most famous public team in the sport. That goes back decades. Ohio State and USC qualify as well. Texas and Oklahoma down in the Big 12.
Here are the typical characteristics of a 'public' team in the colleges...

NOTRE DAME IS A PUBLIC TEAM...BUT THEIR COACH IS A FAST STARTER
Over the years, you generally GET THE BEST OF IT by going against Notre Dame. They're a public team. They're on TV all the time. The public loves betting on Notre Dame. Because of that, the lines are shaded against them by a few points almost every time they take the field. Over time, those few points show up in your favor enough to make...

DON'T BACK TEAMS IN WEEK ONE IF THEY HAVE A BIG GAME IN WEEK TWO!
The general public often makes the mistake of assuming all college coaches and players are at maximum intensity in their regular season openers.
For the most part, this is probably true. But, there are several key spots on the schedule every season where it's NOT true. You're going to take the worst of it by betting the wrong teams in these spots...

LOOK TO FADE COLLEGE TEAMSWITH HIGHLY TOUTED OFFENSIVE STARS
Now that college football is ready to start this Thursday, you're going to hear a lot of media coverage about Heisman Trophy candidates.
TV Networks will be hyping their telecasts involving big name teams. Newspapers are trying to find angles to discuss this week that will fill their pages (I already saw a few Heisman Hopeful' articles LAST week!)....

PUBLIC WANTS TO LOVE THE BEARS,BUT CAN'T FIND A REASON!
The Chicago Bears are a lot like the Chicago Cubs. The wagering public, particularly in Las Vegas, WANTS to love the team. They'll invent reasons to bet on them. But, when they turn on them, they turn with a deep anger and sometimes overreact in the other direction.
That's why I've always paid close attention to the Chicago teams. When the public loves...

MEDIA HYPE SUGGESTING NOBODY GOT WORSE IN OFFSEASON!
I've been watching as many NFL Preseason games as possible here on the big screen TV's in Las Vegas sportsbooks. I've been checking out the daily NFL coverage from ESPN, and reading various websites on the internet.
Based on what I've been seeing, hearing, and reading, apparently NOBODY GOT WORSE in the offseason!
That's right, all 32 teams in the NFL just...

NFL DRESS REHEARSAL GAMESOFTEN SEE FIRST HALF SCORING EXPLOSIONS
Last year, in the days before the 'dress rehearsal' games in the NFL Preseason, I encouraged you to look for good Over spots in first half betting.
If a team has a good offense...and is emphasizing that game to show they're ready for the regular season to arrive, then you're going to see a lot of points.
Now, not every team has a good offense......

QB'S JUST NOW WINNING A JOBPROBABLY AREN'T WORTH BETTING ON
With the start of the college football season now about a week-and-a-half away, you're starting to hear multiple media reports about quarterbacks 'winning'the starting job at various universities.
Look, if a player is just NOW winning the starting job, he's probably not going to be a high impact player. Established starters know they're the man coming...
