Monthly & Season Service

        Thank you for accessing information on Football Service for the ‘08/’09 College and NFL season. Let’s cut to the chase guys- if you believe in "inside information", "fixed games", "100 Star locks of the decade" and 80% to 90% winners, if you believe that some guy you heard on the radio is going to give you the rest of the season free just because you called, you need to disconnect now and log onto the Disney website because as a sports gambler, you’re already in Never Never Land! THOSE THINGS SIMPLY DO NOT EXIST. Successful sports wagering requires hard work and dedication- not only on my part, but on yours as well. You can’t call at 7:00am on Saturday morning, get your plays, go play golf, and then come home that afternoon and find out how much you’ve won. If that’s what you want to do, just keep your bets to a minimum, we’ll make you a few bucks over the season, and you’ll enjoy yourself. If you want to play seriously- treat this like a business and make some serious money, you’ve come to the right place.

        I know that a lot of people would like to get information about monthly or season service without having to talk to anyone. That’s one of the main reasons we put up the Rainman’s site, but you can count on one thing for sure- when you do call All-Star Sports, you’ll never have to listen to a high pressure salesperson who has no idea what he’s talking about. We treat every caller as a valued customer because that’s exactly what you are. Unless you ask to use it, we’ll never ask for your credit card number, with very rare exception we’ll never ask for your phone number so we can call you back, we don’t sell, give away, or trade our customer information with anyone, much less another sports service because I simply have never understood why any legitimate business would want to give their customer list to a competitor,  we’ll never ask how much you play because it’s none of our business and because we treat everyone the same whether they play $50 a game or $5000 a game, and unlike the vast majority of services out there, I’m always available and glad to talk to you.

         Let’s talk a little bit about yours truly, The Rainman. I’m nationally known as a sports handicapper and writer, and I’m very good at what I do. Besides being the host of a syndicated sports talk radio show, which is by far the most popular sports talk show in the Mid-South- Southern Sports Report- 1pm to 3pm each weekday on Sports 56, AM560, right here in Memphis, TN,  every Thursday and  Friday during the football season I’m on an average of over twenty other shows across the country as a guest handicapper. I’ve had articles published in The Sports Betting Guide, and I wrote the chapter on sports wagering for The Ultimate Guide to Casino Gambling, which was published in September, ’97. I write the sports commentary column here in Memphis for The Memphis Business Journal. I’ve got great contacts across the country- Coaches, former Coaches, trainers, reporters, play by play and color commentators with numerous radio stations, and of course, other handicappers I have confidence in. Let’s make one thing very clear here- we’re not talking about sources for "inside information", but we are talking about very, very good information from people who are close to the teams involved. They know who’s sick, who’s hurt, who’s in the Coach’s doghouse, who’s coming back from an injury and how they’re doing- and maybe sometimes they have a little information on what the game plan might be. Put that information with all our other sources, throw in a great "feel" for the game and excellent money management, and you’ve got yourself a very successful football season. One more very important thing to know about The Rainman: I would love to see the sports handicapping business cleaned up! Unfortunately, it's an industry that is full of liars, cheats and crooks and surprisingly few actual handicappers. I use my real name, I don't lie about our record, I preach and teach money management, and I want you to enjoy working with us- and most important of all, I want you back next year as a customer.

         Now let’s add one more thing that no other sports service in the country can offer- our Late Money Updates. A lot of services put out plays on line moves or late steam, neither of which mean anything. We originated the Late Money Updates in 1994 and no other service in the country has access to the same information we use for our updates. In order to make sense of line moves, you must know why the line moved. Most big line moves on game day are now caused by big players coming in late on a game taking the other side of a play they made earlier in the week trying to "middle" the game. If you have no way of knowing they played the other side last Monday, the move on Saturday or Sunday becomes very misleading. Our Late Money Updates are not based on line moves. In fact, many times we have seen the line move the opposite direction you’d think it should based on the amount played on a game as the major sports books in Vegas take positions on certain games. Late Money Updates are based on the amount of money the "public" is playing on a game. Every sports book in Vegas tracks by computer the amount of money bet by ordinary players compared to the amount of money bet by players they respect. When we find games where the public is betting one side 5,6,7, or more to 1, we take the house’s side and go against the public. I know this may be hard to believe, but our Late Money Updates have won over 67% for SIX OF THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, and we’re looking forward to another incredible season with the Late Money Updates. Every game day, we’ll tell you when to call back for the Late Money Updates. There are usually 3 updates on Saturday and Sunday, and they are loaded 45 minutes before the game goes. More trouble for you? Sure it is- you have to make 3 additional calls, but it is definitely worth it! Late Money Updates are included with Monthly or Season Service. They are also included on our $25 and $50 900 lines. (You can click on our 900 lines on the home page for complete information.) If you have questions about our Late Money Updates, give me a call. I'll be glad to explain them to the best of my ability. I'm not sure that I understand exactly why they work so well, but I do know that the public loses and that every Las Vegas sports book goes into every football season expecting to win 72% of the time! We put you on the house's side with the Late Money Updates.

          Season Service is $2,500.00- You can save $500 by paying $2,000.00 up front, or you can split the $2,500.00 into 3 payments- $1,000.00 when you sign up, $750.00 in 45 days, and the final $750.00 45 days later. We often have Season Service specials, particularly before the season begins, so be sure to ask about them when you call. Monthly Service is $750.00 per month, which is an excellent value, but it winds up being $3,750.00 for the season- a little more in the long run, but you’re only committed one month at a time. Either way, Monthly or Season, and I want to make sure you understand this,  you’ll get every play we put out- no exceptions- and the Late Money Updates are included. We’ll never come back to you with a special play that costs more money. No matter how special the play is, if you’re signed up for Monthly or Season Service, you get the play. Season Service takes you all the way thru the SuperBowl, and it includes all the College Bowl games.

             Premier Service is the second level of service we offer. It is also the only other level of service we offer, and it's not for everyone. We don't have seven or eight different "Clubs" you can join- that is strictly a marketing ploy by some services and it's the way they play with their record- one of the "Clubs" is always doing better, and multiple club levels is a sure sign you're dealing with a dishonest service. Premier Service is $5,000.00 per season. It is designed for the player who meets several requirements- they play considerably more per game than the average player, they have the self discipline to play very few games, they treat sports wagering more as a business than the average player who wants to be profitable but treats it more as fun and entertainment, and they're willing to make themselves available and on call on gamedays for last minute plays and betting opportunities. Premier Players have access to all the games, and I want to make this perfectly clear- players who sign up for normal Season Service get the same plays the Premier Players get, but Premier Players actually only play one or two games on a typical Saturday and one, possibly two, games on Sundays. Premier Players rarely play on weekdays. We only take about twenty-five Premier Players each season because we stay in touch with them right up til game time. Several times during a football season, we'll get information ten to fifteen minutes before gametime that gives us an excellent betting opportunity. There is no way to get that information to hundreds of clients, but if you are a Premier Player, we will call or page you or do whatever we have agreed to do when you sign up, to get in touch with you during that fifteen minute window of opportunity so that you can get the play in. It takes a lot of dedication, discipline and availability to be a Premier Player. That's why it's not for everybody.

        We put out Regular Plays, Double Plays, Triple Plays, and our highest rated plays- Five Star Plays. Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, we want you to play every play as a Regular Play. What’s a Regular Play? That’s up to you. If you’re a $100 player- if you normally play $100 on a game- that’s your Regular Play. We’ll always tell you what the rating is on every play we put out, but if you ever have a question, either call the office, or play your regular amount. If we identify a play as a Double Play, we want you to play twice your regular amount on it. Three times your regular amount on Triple Plays, and FIVE TIMES your regular amount on Five Star Plays. I don’t care if the Dallas Cowboys were in town to play a high school team and the line was a pick, NO GAME IS EVER WORTH MORE THAN FIVE TIMES YOUR REGULAR PLAY. That’s just good money management. I will tell you, however, that we always have very good reasons for our higher rated plays. We also use our Late Money Update information to adjust our card during the day- another great reason to use them. Let’s say we put out a play on our card and then find out that the public is on the same side we’re on. Since we don’t want to be on the same side the public is on, we may drop that play from our card. On the other hand, if we put out a play on our card, and then find out the public is on the other side 6 or 7 to 1, we may make that play a Double or Triple Play. It all works together, and that’s what makes us so successful.

Plays are loaded at 7:00AM on Saturdays, 9:00AM on Sundays, and 12:00 noon on weekdays when there is a game. When you call to get your original plays each day, we’ll also tell you when the Late Money Updates will be loaded. That’s about it for Monthly or Season Service. If you have any questions, or if you need additional information, please give me a call at 901-683-1500, 1-800-933-5308, or my cell phone at 901-461-4600 and I’ll be glad to help.
