Tempe, AZ (PRWEB) October 19, 2005

An online sport picking site discovered that playing, coaching, and reporting may not be the only areas in sports where women are starting to play a larger role; they can also pick games with the best of them.

A female player won for the first time last week at PicksPal (http://www.pickspal.com), beating out the vast majority of male players in the free online sports picks game.

All_in, a female player who uses a female soccer player as her avatar, ended the week with 99,495 points ?enough to beat the second place finisher by more than 12,000 points. In an entry titled ?Shattering the Gender Barrier,? The Picking Order (the site?s main blog) exclaimed: ?All hail the Queen! The gender barrier has officially been broken as All_in has held off the field to become the first woman to win the week at PicksPal. The men should be afraid. Be very afraid.? Throughout the week, female players had been pushing at the top of the rankings, at one point holding the top four spots on the leader board.

This should come as no surprise, considering women are starting to play a bigger role in the realm of sports in general. Mia Hamm and the US Women?s Soccer Team won our hearts and the gold with consecutive World Cup victories. The Williams?s sisters and Maria Sharapova are dominating tennis. Plus, Michelle Wie and Anika Sorenstam are even starting to tee it up against the men. Women are starting to equal men in more areas of sports, even the not-so-positive side as Tonya Harding and Marion Jones have shown.

Female sports anchors and reporters are also on the rise, so it was only a matter of time before Girl Power shined in another popular facet of the sporting world: sports picks.

?This is the week that the women roared ? and served notice that they are playing this game too,? said The Picking Order. The game itself, found at http://www.PicksPal.com, gives players 1000 points at the beginning of each week, which they can use to pick games and props from Baseball, Pro Football, College Football, Hockey and others. PicksPal uses real Vegas odds and spreads, while challenging players to play for pride and bragging rights instead of money.

PicksPal?s results also reflect a change in the way women in sports are viewed. Now, more respected terms such as ?sports genius? and ?sports guru? are being used thanks to legends like Pat Summit and sites like PicksPal that test fans? sports IQs.

The late Marge Schott already proved team ownership was not out of a woman?s reach, and Danica Patrick is going head-to-head with the best drivers of the Indy Car Series. So what?s next for women in sports? Only time will tell, but if PicksPal?s results are any indication, GM?s, Directors, and Presidents better take note: women know their sports, too.

About PicksPal

Based in Mountain View, California, and created by Former CBS SportsLine.com, Sports.com and Ziff-Davis senior executive, Tom Jessiman, PicksPal.com launched in September 2005. PicksPal received its initial funding from Canaan Partners and counts Canaan general partner Maha Ibrahim and online marketing expert Kenneth Dotson as Board Members. PicksPal members compete in a weekly game, playing and earning social points by picking real events based on real odds. PicksPal members have the opportunity to risk their points on any of their favorite sports, including football, basketball, baseball, golf, boxing, cycling, motor sports and soccer. At the end of the week — the member accumulating the most points wins.

PicksPal offers its members numerous ways to compete. By making free picks on such sports as Pro Football, College Football, Baseball and more, players can challenge their own knowledge or throw down the gauntlet against friends in 1-on-1 face-offs and even in league competitions. A Pick-O-Meter keeps track of the top ten competitors.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 7, 2007

Mycapper is an online sports handicapping service that showcases well known ‘cappers in the USA. Established national handicapping champions like Marc Lawrence, Big Al McMordie, and Tom Stryker post their selections at Mycapper as do rising young stars of handicapping such as Ben Burns and MasterBets.

There are a number of sports handicapping services out there that offer pay-after-you-win guarantees for their picks, that much has almost come to be expected in a business that has to have integrity and be trustworthy, but double credit refunds are a rare breed.

Mycapper.com offered a double credit refund for Super Bowl XLI earlier this year and the response was so positive that they’ve decided to bring the promotion back for the first game of an NBA Finals that has already captured the interest of the sports betting public.

Vegas has installed the San Antonio Spurs as prohibitive favorites, or “heavy chalk” in the industry parlance, to win their fourth title in eight years. The spread for Game 1 in San Antonio iniitally favored the Spurs by 8 points. However, the Cavaliers attracted signifcant support at that level and the line dropped to 7.5 points by Wednesday morning.

Will Tim Duncan and his experienced teammates prove too strong for LeBron James and his relatively anonymous supporting cast? Or are we at the dawn of a new golden age in the NBA, about to witness the true inheritor of the Michael Jordan legacy?

These are questions that if answered correctly in advance could net you a lot of money via some shrewd NBA Finals wagers, and getting an expert opinion will provide you with the essential assistance you need to solve this sports betting puzzle.

Mycapper.com members can purchase credits on the website using PayPal or their Visa/ MasterCard credit cards, and then use those credits to purchase sports picks. If a premium NBA pick on Game 1 loses Mycapper will provide a guaranteed double credit refund that will be available in clients’ accounts by Friday, June 08.

Mycapper caters to the casual fan looking for an NFL free pick on a given Sunday all the way up to the serious daily bettor looing for an angle for dime-sized sports betting.

Redmond, WA (PRWEB) December 7, 2005

The Rose Bowl, which will take place on January 4 2006, features the two top-ranked college football teams in the country: the Texas Longhorns and the USC Trojans. The winner of this game will be crowned national champions.

“In terms of the total amount wagered and the number of people who will place a bet this will be the single biggest college football game in years,” according to a Mycapper spokesman, Warren Aronson. The media attention surrounding this game will be frenetic, and thousands of casual fans are expected to have a bet on the outcome. But who will win the Rose Bowl from a sports betting perspective?

Mycapper.com, a new sports handicapping service that is redefining the very nature of the industry, believes that they have the answer. “At the moment the Trojans are favored by 6.5 points, and we have asked one of our top handicappers to predict the outcome, and make it available at no charge to everyone who visits the site,” said Aronson.

Mycapper offers a unique interface enabling its members to purchase credits in advance using either PayPal or a major credit card, and to use those credits to purchase individual picks. Mycapper is an honest and straightforward sports handicapping service that does not charge members subscription fees. Instead of signing up for a season or even a month, members can now purchase sports picks individually using their credits.

In addition, Mycapper.com guarantees every sports pick that it sells, so in the event that a pick loses the client receives a full credit refund immediately.

“The handicappers we feature are motivated to work harder and more diligently, and clients know that if we don’t win for them we don’t earn a penny either.” Aronson also noted that “no high-end sports handicapping service gives away as many free picks as Mycapper, and certainly none will give away a pick as valuable as which side to bet on for the Rose Bowl!”

If you bet on the USC Trojans they will need to win the game by 7 or more points. If you bet on the Texas Longhorns you will “cash in” if the Longhorns win outright, or if they lose by a margin of 6 points or less. This is based on the current sports betting “line” that originates from Las Vegas sportsbooks and is generally mirrored by online sportsbooks. The line may change by the time of the game next month, but Mycapper is so confident about their selection that they are not worried about any line changes in the interim.

“Our top college football handicapper believes that one side offers exceptional betting value, regardless of line moves.”

We’re inclined to agree with the sports experts, and you can’t argue with the price tag – it doesn’t get any better than free!

ABOUT MYCAPPER:

Mycapper.com is a sports handicapping service that provides daily free picks and guaranteed picks by legendary sports handicappers such as Larry Ness, Ben Burns, and Al McMordie. All sports picks are sold online at http://www.mycapper.com.

The idea of competitors competing on a level playing field is what true competition is all about. The public can come to the page and monitor the picks and follow the handicappers through the season without the annoying ads and promises. The handicappers will be able to broadcast their free picks and compete against other handicappers on our site and in our ezine. They also will be placing their banner some where on the site but not on the free picks page. This page will have no ads allowed.

There are other places like this on the Internet but the handicappers are all part of a group and the main message behind all the listing is to get the sales. The idea of supplying the public with free information without promises is the new way for handicappers to go. The advertising the handicappers have is their product, the free picks listed. People will visit their site if they see how they are doing compared to ads that read, Buy the Game of the Century or The Slammer Hammer of the Week is now on sale. The product will sell itself, which is what competition is all about.
