British Open Aftermath
John Ryan Jul 19, 2010  
Ryan’s RANT The British Open was another refreshing Major as it showed there are other golfers in this world worthy to be contenders and worthy to win the Majors. Yes, Sunday was a sleeper of sorts, but for the avid golfing fan, the dominance that Oosthuizen showed was no less dominant than Tiger’s early wins. Yet, the question was not focused on how many Majors this young man may win, but whet ...  read more

John Ryan Jan 26, 2010  
EDGE article January 26, 2010 College Hoops sport a 10-1 ATS mark in 15* Conference Games of the Month entering Tuesday night action.

John Ryan Dec 1, 2009  

NFC Play-off Picture December 1, 2009

As the Saints continue to dominate – nailed MNF 10* Titan on the Saints and the 7* Titan UNDER for a nice big time parlay winner – and the Colts continue to remain unbeaten, the media focus is justly focused on these two teams. This week however, is a significant week for the NFC contenders and how these games will shape the play-off picture.

Tuesday Morning Coffee and FREE PLay
John Ryan Oct 17, 2009  
EDGE Article October 13, 2009 Buffalo at the NY Jets 4:15 EST start I nailed another 10* MNF winner with the Dolphins as they truly exposed the holes in the Jets defense. It wasn’t just the Wild Cat either that took its’ toll on that defense that allowed THREE go ahead touch downs in the 4th quarter.

Dallas at Tampa Bay
John Ryan Sep 11, 2009  
EDGE Article Dallas at Tampa Bay September 13, 2009 1:00 EST Kick-off

This is actually a very important game for both teams to begin the season and to get off a solid victory. AiS shows a 70% probability that 39 or more points will be scored in this game. Public has bet this total down from an opening of 42 and I always like being on the house side of the money. AiS also projects a 65% pro ...  read more

US Open Plays for 9/10
John Ryan Sep 10, 2009  
US Open Play for September 10th. In the Men’s quarter final I like a play on Fernando Gonzaolez over Hadal at +250. I also like 2 other proposition wagers taking Fernandez to win 3-1 at _725 and also to win 3-2 at +725. I think it is very fair to expect that if Fernando is to win, it will not be in three straight sets over Nadal. I also believe that Nadal expended a lot of energy and with that tr ...  read more
US Open plays for 9/9 and 9/10
John Ryan Sep 9, 2009  

Wow…. Will Federer lose a set? Interesting prop bet with Federer a -185 favorite to sweep Soderling. Weather could be a factor for this evening televised match and it may actually get canceled with a very slow moving front creating weather problems on the East Coast. Soderling has publically admitted he has little chance in this match and that is one of the best ways to go down quickly in defea ...  read more

US Open Plays 2009
John Ryan Sep 8, 2009  
US Open Plays for September 8, 2009 Starting today at 4:00 EST, I like Jo-Wildred Tsonga over Fernando Gonzalez. Tsonga is priced at -160. In an upset of the day play, I really like Gael Monflis at +175 over Nadal set to start at 8:15 EST. I’m also going to take another strong dog in Flavia Pennetta at +450 over Serena Williams. 1* unit play on each of these. Serena has not lost a set – yet pos ...  read more
US Open September 4, 2009
John Ryan Sep 4, 2009  
US Open September 4, 2009 Plays Look at the next rounds, the excitement will now begin to build as the top rated seeds will have increasingly tougher opponents. On the woman’s side I like Vera Zvonareva at -250 over Elena Vesnina. As a long shot play, but in opinion a very real possible upset, take Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez at +1200 over Serena Williams. May look like I am going ant- Williams ...  read more
US Open Day 3

US Open Day 3 Plays September 2, 2009 Had a nice day winning with +180 Dent on the Men’s side and Anastasija Sevastova at -140 over Tamarine Tanasiquarn. The third play lost with Peter Luczak. In day 3 a slight upset based on the brackets, but not on the bettor pages. Take Julien Benneteau over Viktor Troicki at -170. Benneteau was sleep walking during the first set that he lost 6-4, but then r ...  read more

Ryan take s alook at MLB and their records when they allow 3 runs or less.
John Ryan Jun 22, 2009  
Let’s look at team records when they allow 3 runs or less. As many of you know, I analyze a ton of data for all sports and I also have the benefit of an Artificial Intelligence System that learns from more than 15-years of box scores and applies that accumulated to knowledge to the current day’s card. Let’s take a look at team records where they allow 3 runs or less in a game. # YEAR TEAM R ...  read more
Ryan takes a look at meaningful Pitching Stats
John Ryan Jun 15, 2009  
On a short Monday card let’s take a look at Bullpen stats and rankings in MLB. in my opinion and based on solid research, bettors often overlook the importance of the bullpen when making a bet. One mistake is that they assume that the starter will continue his 3 game trend into the current start. That many times does not occur and when a strong starter struggle the bullpen is often times the reaso ...  read more
NCAA Upset Alert and more
John Ryan Mar 18, 2009  
Akron versus Gonzaga Round 1 NCAA Tournament Friday March 19th, 7:25 EST I am very surprised that the talking heads are all seemingly supporting Gonzaga to make a huge run in the tournament. Make a long story short, I just do not see this happening for a wide array of reason. In fact, based on my Ai Simulator they will have their hands full just getting out of the first round here against Akron ...  read more
Ryan's Look at the SEC Tournament with 79% winning system.
John Ryan Mar 11, 2009  
The NBA 10* plays have ripped off an 11-5-1 ATS run. He is also red hot in College Hoops hitting 73% ATS winners over his last 29 releases. NHL continues to do well making over 50 units in profits spanning the past 27 days despite going 18-16 as he feasts 85% of the time on false favorites.

Ryan's Rant - February 12, 2009
John Ryan Feb 12, 2009  
Ryan's Weekly Rant - Wow, first A-Road and now Phelps. Doesn't - or perhaps should I say wouldn't - the US Congress have better pursuits to full fill . Like getting the economy started for starters. Drugs being dealt to our nation's youth is at epidemic levels and has been for decades. Wouldn't that be a better pursuit than nailing A-Rod for something quite minor that happened more than 6 year ...  read more
Tuesday Morning Coffee
John Ryan Feb 9, 2009  
Tuesday Morning Coffee Edge Report February 11, 2009 Detroit at Milwaukee 2/17/2009 Detroit continues to be bet by the public when facing inferior teams just like previous Piston editions. Even with the gritty Iverson on the team they do not possess the knockout punch and defensive lock down that those previous editions possessed. The Lakers, as I have said many times now, have that knock ou ...  read more

Alamo Bowl Preview Monday December 29, 2008 8:00 EST start Missouri versus Northwestern This is a game where two teams have arrived here by almost unthinkable paths.

John Ryan Jul 14, 2008  

I have been researching the NFL and College FB over the past several weeks in preparation for another successful and profitable season. I have found a few “total wins” plays for you to join me on.
