The program is easy to use. All you have to do is:

1) Enter opening lines
2) Enter closing lines if they have changed
3) Enter the final scores and
4) Rate teams. That's it!

Then you generate the reports that will help you determine which games and teams are the best bets based on the line. You need to enter the lines and scores for each day before it will let you advance to the schedule for the following day. This was designed so that the reports generated would be accurate. There are weekly updates that can be downloaded from the Organized Sports Betting site.

I have only had the program for the last few weeks and have been working with the Major League Baseball games. I will be perfectly honest and tell you that I haven't even totally realized the full potential of this program because it can do so much. I do know that as you become more familiar with using the information you can generate your own power ratings for the teams. For now I have been using the ones from the weekly updates I downloaded while testing the program. I am looking forward to using the software for the upcoming NFL and NBA season.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak with Jerry Bleiman at great length as he gave me a rundown on the software. I asked if there were any points that he would like to stress about his program.

He said, "The only comment I would like to make is that this is a data dependent program, so the more games that are played over the shortest period of time, the better. So MLB is the best, followed by NBA and NHL. NFL will take a few weeks to accumulate data. But the idealized line charts and winning %s can be used from day one. Being able to reverse engineer the bookmaker's lines is vital to understanding where values may lie.

The Program sells for $39.95 and includes:

The OSB software.
This program is a Windows based sophisticated piece of software, designed for easy use and readability. It includes modules for NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL.

The Book.
The book describes what Organized Sports Betting is all about and is also the manual for the program.

Toolkit
In the OSB Toolkit you get the necessary line-making charts for NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. These will allow you to reverse engineer how the bookmaker rates teams, and soon you will be able to use the charts in your own daily betting. Included in the OSB Toolkit are sample reports that will allow you to follow along with the text in a clear, logical manner.

A Bonus Over/Under Spreadsheet.
You can generate point totals and game margins by just adjusting a few numbers per game. (You need to have a spreadsheet program to use it)

If you are new to sports betting or need some additional information you can get free Sports Betting Lessons on the OSB website.

If you are planning to wager any money in the future then this program will be a worthwhile investment. I believe that you are getting a very sophisticated program that is easy to use for a very fair price.
