After the United State national team came up with two improbable win lasts week, interest in the sport has increased dramatically. First, the US beat Egypt 3-0, and coupled with Brazil’s 3-0 victory over Italy the same day, Uncle Sam earned an invite to the tournament’s Final Four. The on Wednesday, the United States pulled one of the biggest upsets of recent memory when they ended Spain’s 35-game unbeaten streak in a 2-0 win.
So, now the US finds itself in the Confederation Cup Final in a rematch against Brazil. And what does this mean for sports handicappers? It means that there is now a larger fan base of a sport who may be winning to wager on the match without much knowledge about the sport; a perfect storm for selling some soccer picks!

Saturday, June 27th, 2009Sports Handicappers Eagerly Awaiting Start of New Football Season
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009With the beginning of July in sight, it’s time to start thinking about football season again. Most NFL teams will have started training camp by the end of July (Buffalo opens first on July 25th), but it’s never too early to begin breaking down the teams for the upcoming season.
Obviously, football season is king when it comes to sports handicappers. Especially the NFL Preseason, where recreational sports bettors are nervous to pull the trigger under the unique conditions. But this season is a bit different; with the struggling economy directly affecting sports handicappers’ sales, it’s more important than ever for professional sports handicappers to have their records documented by an independent third party.
Gone are the days when handicappers could boast of incredible winning streaks and records, now that potential customers can spend five minutes on the internet to verify those claims. And, the ones who can prove their winning records are reaping the benefits.
HandicapperTracker.com will open registration soon for both professional handicappers and amateur sports handicappers alike within the next few weeks. By helping legitimate handicappers prove their well-earned records and exposing them to new potential clients who have been burned in the past, it makes perfect sense to join prior to the start of the new season.
Until next time! - Bob
