Below is our recent interview with Jeremy Martin, Senior Editor at Doc’s Sports:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Doc’s Sports?
A: Doc’s Sports Service has been in the sports handicapping business since 1971, and we are recognized as one of the leaders and most trusted names in the industry. Most handicapping services are one-man operations, but here at Doc’s Sports we are among the most progressive thinkers in the industry, and we have assembled some of the finest experts in the country for our service. We are one of the few handicapping companies that have withstood the test of time because of hard work, honesty and consistently of providing sports betting winners to our valued clients.
Since 1971 Doc’s Sports became famous for our College Football Big Ten Game of the Year that won and covered the point spread 19 years in a row during the 1970s, 1980s, & 1990s. Doc’s Sports is one of the only handicapping services whose powerful influence has historically moved the official Las Vegas line more than seven points. At Doc’s Sports, we often focus on lesser-known teams and less-popular games as oftentimes less information is available on those teams and games and certain trends tend to stick out and offer value that the average person may not catch.
We also have individual full-time handicappers for NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, College Basketball, College Football, and major horse races, and we feel we have some of the top experts in the country in these designated fields. We are always in search of the best talent for our team.
Q: Former football coach John Mackovic have recently joined Doc’s Sports as betting advisor; could you tell us something more?
A: We now have John Mackovic, a former NFL and Div. 1 College Head Football Coach (and one of the best minds in Football), working in tandem with 11th Hour Sports’ Founder/President Chip Thomson’s Software System, and the results have been off the charts! John knows the daily grind of coaching and can translate that into success in the form of football sports betting.
Recommended: Q: What makes Doc’s Sports the best choice?
A: We give potential new clients a free $60 account so they can try out our service risk free and see if this is really for them. We also have the only true profit guarantee, and we offer that guarantee to the free accounts just as if they actually paid real money. No other service does this.
If the premium member service is not for them then we do offer complimentary picks and predictions on almost every single game.
We are also 100% transparent with our records. On each of the expert picks pages we list the previous days (or weeks) member picks and analysis.
Family owned and operated since 1971
Many of our employees have worked here for decades!
A team of Sports Handicapping Experts for you to choose from
We carefully select our group of handicappers, and only a select few make the cut
No hype, No hassles, No high-pressure sales
We do not make outgoing Sales calls. We do not pressure clients.
One set of plays for one fair price
We do not charge different prices for different picks. All of our clients receive the same picks.
Q: Tell us more about Doc’s Unit System. How exactly does it work?
A: The 1-8 unit rating is used for all sports that we provide picks and predictions for. The higher the unit value of each play, the stronger the selection is. The majority of the games released will be 3 or 4 unit games. 5-8 unit plays are stronger and usually only given out once or twice a week.
So how does this translate to your bankroll? Take a look at a sample of our weekly football selections.
College
6-unit on Georgia
5-unit on Ohio State
4-unit on Iowa
4-unit on Florida
4-unit on Oregon
NFL
5-unit on Dallas
4-unit on New York
4-unit on Seattle
If you add these all up, it comes to 36 total units. Divide that by your weekly budget on $1000 and it comes to roughly $28 per unit. Therefore, you would bet $168 on Georgia, your 6-unit selection. On all the 4-unit selections you would bet $112 (Iowa, Florida, Oregon, New York, and Seattle). And so on and so forth for the rest of the picks.
Everyone has a different budget (starting balance), but it is import and stick with a set dollar amount for each unit as this will give you the best chance for success. You can learn more about the unit betting system here.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: To continue to provide the best customer service in the sports handicapping industry. We also embrace technology and look for new and innovative ways to deliver our picks to the consumer. We started out back in the 1970s by giving our lines and games over the phone (900 numbers) and by the 2000s we have fully embraced the Internet and now offer a variety of services to our customers free of charge via our website.
