Tues CBB card (10*& 1st 3-in-1 STP of CBB)
Larry 'whiffed' on Monday but it's a Bounce-Back CBB-only Tuesday card. Larry remains a MONEY-MAKING 33-21 (+$9,009) with all CBB since Dec 15, CA$HING with 61% of his top-rated 10*s in that time frame.
CBB 10* Conference Crusher (SEC) and Larry's 1st 3-in-1 Superstar Triple Play of the college hoops season on tap for Tuesday. Regulars will remember Larry closing the FB sesason (CFB/NFL combined) by ca$hing SIX of his seven STPs.
NBA pass on Tuesday and NFL Championship Sunday play(s) soon.
Who is Larry Ness?
Larry Ness has over 35 years of experience in the industry and looks to continue his success for many years to come.
A member of the original cast of Proline (began in 1985), the nation’s longest running pre-game handicapping show on the USA-TV network (also hosted Sports Desk on the same network from 1996-98). Larry then joined the panel of The Winning Edge in the early 2000s. Although well-known on TV for his expert game analysis and no-nonsense handicapping style, Larry may be best known for his radio work. He hosted his own syndicated call-in radio show, Sports Central. It aired live from Bally's Casino in Las Vegas in the early to mid-90s and at one time was heard in more than 100 markets.
What sports does he bet on?
Larry Ness strictly bets on the big 6 leagues (NFL, NCAAF, NBA, NCAAB, MLB and NHL).
What are his handicapping systems/methods?
Fundamental and statistical analysis. "I'm not typically a trend and system kind of guy," Ness says. "I look at team strengths and weaknesses and compare them. It’s an all-encompassing thing and over 35-plus years, you get good at it."
What is his strategy for pick rating and bankroll management?
Star Ratings: 9 and 10*s are considered "Best Bets." All other plays are rated between 6 and 8*s, depending on strength and/or price.
36-Club Play: It represents Larry's 36 years in the business and gets his highest star rating (10*s). Expect no more than one of these plays per month, per sport during the regular season.
LEGEND Play: Larry's often been referred to as a Las Vegas legend and he's 'borrowed' the title for his other "signature play.". Larry's LEGEND Plays were previously available to only a select group of private clients, but they are now available to all, via the internet. Like his 36-Club plays, expect no more than one play per month, per sport (rated 10*s).
Game of the Month and Game of the Year Plays: Always rated 10*s.
Las Vegas Insider: Throughout his 36 years "in the business," Larry has become known as "the ultimate Las Vegas insider." The contacts he's developed over more than three decades (on both sides of the 'counter'), are arguably "unmatched!" He confers daily with 'his 'friends' and when "all the stars align on the same game," Larry releases an exclusive Las Vegas Insider (rated between 7 and 10*s).
Oddsmaker's Error Plays: Larry uses this term with "great respect" (and not very often), as he counts among his very closest friends many of Las Vegas' most famous and respected Sport Book directors (past and present). However, when Larry feels "the line is significantly off," he'll release one of these "not to be missed" plays (rated 9 or 10*s).
Situational Stunners: Larry's a fundamental handicapper at heart but he does pay attention to team and situational trends (especially in MLB). When his fundamental handicapping and a strong trend or situation match up, he releases a Situational Stunner. He began releasing these plays in MLB '09 and he's expanded them since, to all sports (rated from 7-10*s, based on strength and/or price for moneyline sports).
PERFECT STORM: Larry just added these plays the last few years and his accompanying expert analysis makes these popular plays self-explanatory (typically rated 9 or 10*s but moneyline sports may be rated 7 or 8*s due to price).
Weekly and Weekend Wipeout Winners: Larry added this self-explanatory moniker just a few years ago. They've become immensely popular and why not? Who wouldn't want a game that has "blowout written all over it," supported by Larry's expert analysis (rated between 7 and 10*s, depending on strength and price).
Superstar Triple Play: Over the years, many of Larry's regular clients have clamored for more three-game reports. You asked for it and Larry's responded. Back in the late 1980s and into the mid 1990s, 900-numbers became "the rage." While a panel member of Proline (see above), Larry created the Superstar Triple Play. One call got you three Superstar Triple Plays (in a particular sport). For almost a decade, anywhere from 1,500 to 3,500 callers responded each weekend, when Larry offered his famous "Superstar Triple Play" pitch on Proline. Starting in 2009, Larry began going "Back to the Future!" Look for 3-game reports this FB season on Saturday (college) and Sunday (NFL). Get three plays on a single report from Larry (many will be TV games), the originator of the "Superstar Triple Play!".
Late-Breaking Plays: Larry will always go back and take a "second look" at each day's card, after posting all his games. When he finds something he missed the first time around, he'll release a Late-Breaking Play. These plays are more prevalent in sports like baseball and basketball than football (typically rated at 8 or 9*s).
What should I expect for pick volume and release time?
Larry Ness has anywhere from 3-5 plays per day in various sports, increasing to 5-7 during football weekends.
Larry releases "daily sports" (MLB, NBA, NCAAB and NHL) on the day of the game. His full card is almost always available by 10:00 ET (save Late-Breaking games). In the FB season, Larry begins releasing plays as early as Tuesday. His full CFB card is typically complete by Thursday (or Friday, at the latest) and his full NFL card will be mostly complete by Friday (definitely by Saturday at 3:00 ET).
Larry enters Tuesday on a 33-21, +$9,009 run with all CBB plays s/Dec 15, despite opening the new CBB week with a Monday loss on Louisville. It's bounce-back time with Larry's 1st 3-in-1 CBB Superstar Triple Play (ended the FB season on a 6-1 run!) plus his latest top-rated 10* Conference Crusher (SEC). His CBB 10*s have ca$hed 62% since Dec 15!
This 37-year vet has been a consistent money-maker in college hoops since Dec 15, going 32-21, +$9,009 (at $100/unit). Regulars may remember that Larry ended the FB season (CFB/NFL) by ca$hing SIX of his seven 3-in-1 STPs. This his FIRST of the current BKB season and as always, delivers QUALITY & QUANTITY! Let Larry "triple your pleasure!"
