What are his handicapping systems/methods?

Paul attributes much of his success to watching as many games as possible, live or replay, which he feels gives him a distinct advantage over those handicappers who rely strictly upon statistical information, technical related factors, or combing box scores. Paul is a gambler first and will never release a selection unless he has a financial interest.

All picks will have a rating indicating the strength of the selection, which will be based on a 4 point scale from 7* to 10*.

Much of Paul’s focus as it applies to totals is capturing the value inherent in opening numbers. As such, college plays may be posted as early as Sunday evening for sides and Monday/Tuesday for totals. NFL sides/totals may be released as early as Sunday evening for the following weeks’ games, with periodic additions for both college and pro commonly posted on Thursday or Friday as well as within an hour of game time as the status of players on the injury report are finalized. Overall, you can expect 3-5 play NFL and NCAAF cards each week.
