Another College Football ESPN Bankroll Builder Wins Tonight There are two college football games being televised on ESPN tonight and one of them should win just as easy as last Friday's weekend bankroll builder - Arizona (-15.5) which got the money in a 41-2 win at Toledo. Tonight's games find West Virginia (1-0) at Marshall (0-1) and Texas-El Paso (1-0) at Houston (1-0) and one of them grades...

Friday night football action is a day that can slip under the radar of the average football bettor, stuck between the excitement of Thursday night and waiting for the weekend. The action we get in Vegas is heavily from casino players out for the night who bet sports. But that's a lot of people and they bet with a lot of ignorance, forcing alterations of the lines. As Sportsbook Director for Club...

With all three services of the Jim Hurley Network combining to hit nearly 60 percent in the first week of action, we're taking full advantage of the bankroll building opportunities on Friday night. It starts with West Virginia-Marshall, a local grudge match. The Thundering Herd looked overmatched against Ohio State. Will it be different against the Mountaineers? We know! Then UTEP takes on...

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...

I'm studying all the angles on Friday's college card, from UTEP-Houston to Marshall-West Virginia. I've got all my notes from reviewing them in the preseason and integrated my notes from opening week performances into them. I monitor line movements and can tell when value is being offered early or late. I've narrowed it down to one game on Friday that's a great bettable spot and I'm going for it...

Two good games go Friday night and three of the teams playing are from the ranks of the midmajors. UTEP takes on Houston in an interesting Conference USA game. The Cougars are facing some sizeable point spreads as Case Keenum passes his way into the record book. I watched the tapes of their opener, as well as UTEP's so I could know what to expect on Friday night. And Marshall takes on West...

Each of these six handicappers has their own methods of getting to the winning selections, but when 4 of the 6 agree, the odds of winning are over 70%…when 5 of 6 agree that rate rises to 77%, and when all six agree on a particular side, the game wins at an astounding 86% overall. Obviously there aren't plays every day, or sometimes even every week; but when there are, these are the...
