However, the Premier League season is already up and running and the 2010/2011 campaign could be one of the best in recent memory.

However, the league now features more teams capable of doing so.

Liverpool and Arsenal have in the past completed the top four, but Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are now also forces to be reckoned with. Manchester City spent approximately

The fall months usher in a flurry of activity at athletic fields, parks and sports facilities nationwide as organized sports teams, leagues and individuals compete in a variety of different fall sports. From soccer leagues and youth football to batting cages and indoor gyms, facility administrators, sports leagues and academies, and colleges and universities are looking for an efficient and effective way of scheduling these locations for their games, practices and scrimmages.

The Nation’s Top Arena Football Betting Expert is Moving Lines in Vegas This AFL Season

Brentwood, Tenn. (PRWEB) April 14, 2007

The nation’s documented number one Arena Football handicapping expert, Ted Sevransky of Sportsmemo.com (http://www.sportsmemo.com), is creating a commotion in Vegas with the release of his weekly AFL picks.

A few select handicappers and professional bettors in the world have the ability to truly affect the line on a game, in any sport. Sevransky’s plays, however, fall into that rare category having seen a tremendous amount of movement, anywhere from two to six points, each week since the start of the Arena Football season in March.

Sportsmemo.com has even had to adjust their company policy to accommodate the needs of their clients who were not able to place their bets at the number that Sevransky released with his picks as a result of the significant line movements.

“When Teddy talks Vegas listens,” commented Sportsmemo.com CEO Tim Trushel. “We were fielding calls left and right from our clients who were frustrated that they couldn’t get their bets in at the number Teddy released. As a result, we had to change our policy to better suit our client’s needs.”

In an effort to even the playing field, Sportsmemo.com now simultaneously releases Sevransky’s plays to subscribing clients on Thursdays at exactly 12pm PST.

Having enjoyed documented back-to-back number one rankings in the AFL at the Sports Monitor in Oklahoma City with a combined record of 50-29 63%, Sevransky, known in the sports handicapping industry as Teddy Covers, attributes his betting success in the AFL to his keen ability to identify and capitalize on weak lines distributed by the Las Vegas oddsmakers.

“As a peripheral sport, Arena Football brings in a relatively low handle for the sportsbooks and therefore has not garnered the full attention of the linesmakers. Professional bettors are willing to bet on anything and everything if they feel they have an edge and we’ve had a big edge over the bookmakers in Arena Football in recent years. These are the glory days for Arena Football,” Sevransky explains.

Sevransky also predicts Arena Football is going to receive more betting action than ever before in 2007 due to the national exposure the AFL will receive through its partnership with ESPN.

Sevransky’s articles and analysis of the Arena Football League can be found at Sportsmemo.com (http://www.sportsmemo.com).

About Ted Severansky, “Teddy Covers”:

Ted Sevransky, a University of Michigan graduate who is better known as Teddy Covers, burst onto the Vegas handicapping scene eight years ago and immediately earned a reputation for covering the spread.

Since 1998 he has had numerous No. 1 finishes at The Sports Monitor in college and pro basketball as well as back-to-back No.1 rankings in Arena Football in 2005 and 2006.

Covers can be heard weekly on radio stations throughout the country and daily on the Sports Memo Radio Show airing on the Sports Byline Network and Sirius Satellite Radio. He is also a regular contributor to both the Las Vegas Review Journal and the Las Vegas Sun and has been featured in The New York Times, Trader Monthly and Playboy. Covers was also recently asked to appear as a gaming expert on CNBC.
