The Right Information

There are a variety of sites out there that you can obtain information that will help you decide on your picks. As with the last post you need to find a system that works and going through certain stats, player news, and trends can help you be more confident in your picks and help you be profitable in the long run. Rotoworld.com is a great site for player news and they seem to be the fastest in updating you the fastest. Sometimes, however, the news that a coach will sit his starters or a certain star player for rest comes only an hour before the game. So sometimes its best to wait until the last hour to place your wagers if you suspect a player might be sat. As stated before, covers.com is a great site to get consensus picks (what the public is on) and to follow people who are consistent with their picks. Just by browsing in the forums you can find picks by people that have a following and the best part all its free to join and browse the forums. Covers also offers contests such as the streak survivor contest where people on the site try to get the highest streak for cash and prizes. Another thing I like to do is check espn for news surrounding a team and to read the preview of the game Im looking to wager on and view the comments as well. This gives you an overall feeling of the game that can give you an edge to who might win the game. I also use the site to check the teams last few games and see if they are sort of trending upwards or crashing down. This can also be a good indicator to see if there are any trends happening.
